My new (to me) 1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer.

I always look at that companies inventory.. they rebuild some beautiful trucks and I'm always on the hunt for a good 80's squarebody truck.
Beautiful rig you got there! Nice choice.

Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Since you have an ORD Magnum I would just throw 35s on the there and help the mileage. Reduce wear and tear too. You probably wouldn't notice any real difference deal you were towing a heavy load.

Outback that is one fine looking truck. She looks so clean that you might just be able to fry eggs on the engine block! You must be a happy camper to get such a clean truck. I loved your description of the led lighting and the stereo. I am looking forward to seeing pics of your truck out getting muddy. Thanks for posting up. Cheers, Chilli..

Well 2,100 plus miles and I am home. I rolled in last night at 11:30 pm. The truck needs some work. Cooling system was fine for Washington and Michigan BUT NOT ARIZONA. She over heated a bit. The trans I found was over filled. And she needs some help. In Moab I had the trans fluid flushed. No one could install a trans cooler so I continued on. After the correct amount of fluid was in the trans it worked fine. Over all I am happy with my purchase. I need to just refine her for the extreme conditions we have here. I will keep you posted on making the truck my own. So far Ive added a winch (Thank you Tim at the Denver 4 Wheel Parts store for getting me in on a moments notice) and reinforced the bumper in the parking lot at Home Depot (near Silt CO) with some new Grade 8 hardware. Here are the pics from my road trip. In no particular order.

Don't forget to install that trans cooler, the biggest you can is best!! auto trans like to stay cool and a BIG cooler is the best way to ensure that! keep it cool and it will keep you motorvated!!

I just installed this monster in my 5.4 Expedition. Just took it on a trip through the mountains. Never saw anything above 175 and it quickly came down. The previous cooler I saw temps over 210 under similar conditions. The big cooler is the same cooler used in the 6.0l powerstrokes.

Dang,what a score! It definitely looks like a professional engine conversion. Perfect in there.
