    Dude! I absolutely relate to your love for old Blazers. I still have my '89 K5 sitting in my backyard, with both a blown motor and transmission and now also rusting away from 20 years of sitting, but I DON'T CARE! I still have dreams of bringing it back to life someday and love it more than my current (actually running) truck.
    It took me 6 months of searching in '95 before I found the right one, and for the time that it was my Daily driver it was a good, faithful truck. With front and rear TrueTrac differentials and 31" mud tires, it was an absolute MONSTER in the snow but about the most dangerous vehicle on earth on ice.

    Talk of nostalgia, I own an '88 Suburban. It was purchased new the same year I was born by my Grandpa, and was the first vehicle I had driven. He would let me drive down our driveway on his lap when I was a couple years old. When he died it became my Moms, and our primary vehicle, so naturally it was the vehicle I learned to drive on. About 10 years ago I drove it solo from Ontario, Canada to L.A. then up the coast and back, living out of the back of it during that time. Eventually I took over the ownership. Now its my house renovation workhorse. I feel like ill be buried in it.

    I'd love to see the restoration of it. I mean, it would clearly be a headache filled restoration with horrifically unending poor workmanship surprises .... But ... The scripts for all those restoration videos would indeed write themselves. I do also mean they'd write themselves literally. As it not only scrapes, but also has a lovely oil leak to make the scraping that much more smoother... 😅

      Challenging in a sort of a newish way, or different rather, in as far as this channel is concerned. I think they've tackled similar tasks in various projects but never really all that in one ...🤷🏾‍♂️

    Chevy & GMC produced those generation fullsize light duty pickups from '73 through '87 "only on 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton regular cabs", but the crew cabs like that one there in the video & K5 Blazers like the one your mom had, GMC Jimmys, & Suburbans on the other hand continued up through '91. About the 1 ton regular cabs, they continued up through '89.

    that body style with 7.4L was notorious for running hot, I worked at chevy during the early 90s. So the problem was restriction of air flow opening in core-support was too small and the 93 gm diesel 6.5L turbo front bumper had two holes for turbo flow. cheap fix for that truck without cutting structure.
