hey guys here is an accelerated version of the past to the present.
My buddy bought this clean blazer last year and brought it to my house for a one ton swap. the swap was 14b/60 combo with open front and spool rear, 4.10 gears. while doing the swap i was standing underneath the rig admiring how clean it was for a michigan k5. i wanted it but the time wasn't right so i finished the swap and lead him on his way.
heres this first trip out when he got it
one ton swap in one day
well this fall he sank it on drummond island and hurt the motor. so i had the opportunity to buy it. so i did!
mods are as follows
