New member/new blazer

[Ebstard944]

Hi. After looking for a couple of years, I have a 1st gen blazer again. I had a 70 350/4 speed, hugger orange painted bumpers in high school in the late 80s. it looked like the worst of the worst rust pics that are posted on here. no rockers, holes the size of your head behind the doors. If you slammed the door, a rust rectangle was formed below it. Couldnt put more than $5 in gas in it, or it would leak out. But it sure was fun! So I just picked this up over the weekend (if i figure out how to add photos). 72 350/350. Some rust on the passenger side, door, and behind it. A little on the rockers. Hasnt been regesterd in 11 years. I have a few things to do to it to make it road worthy, I can drive it, but for saftey, I need to fix the E brake, and the trans linkage feels like it floats. no click between positions. It engages fine, but kinda scarry when there is no e brake to wonder, Is it really in park! Im sure I will be lookin for a few things for it in the next couple years. Seats (late 80's buckets), and some guidance for taking that lift down a notch. A little lift I like, but it is a little too tall for freeways.

Looking forward to using this great resource!

Thanks
Erin
