Rolla, MO huh?
I go through there quite a bit, I have inlaws in Nixa (Springfield basically)
Good turkey hunting around there I hear.

OK....I'll have to check for rust in the vent areas. I'm assuming you mean the manual air vents? I haven't seen any rust there yet and I've torn out all the carpet, but I'll take a harder look.

What about POR? (Paint over rust) is that a viable option after a person thinks they have most of the rust cut out?

Gary 70: Are you saying you replaced the entire bed (tub) at one time?

I see there are bolts on both sides and I guess a guy can air chisel the front and rear, then just bolt/weld another one in place?

There is currently a 4" lift on the blazer and the 33's have plenty of room so I figured I could sneak 35's under it.....is that is too much tire for a 4" lift?

I'm excited to have this truck...I've been looking for a clean 1972 blazer for a couple of years and this one I bought from the original owner....that is tough to find! He kept it in pretty good shape.

What about that new Holley carburetor? Anyone tried it yet?

Fuel injection is an expensive mod.....throttle body injection is iffy according to my mechanic buddy.....so I'm still trying to figure that one out.

I'm looking at replacing the 327 with a 350/350 from a local shop here and for now I'm still planning to use the 350TH with it.

Lots of questions.....thanks for the input.
