Default 1988 Blazer “Corgi Hauler II”

I sold my 1978 Blazer to fund the paint job on Apex. I wanted another one to just have. I found this 1988 80k miles Blazer that is very clean. 1988 was the first year I worked at GM as a summer inter.

It is a 350 tbi engine with a 700R4 trans. Runs and drives like a 1988 Blazer.

Still debating on engine swap. I’m sure when the snow flys this winter the driveline will come out.

Gorgeous! Will you keep it 4wd?

There are a lot of 2wd K5 Blazer builds going on now. Kind of interesting to see if catch on so much with the lowered crowd.

My wife likes the 4X4 look, so it will stay 4WD.

offroaddesign.com Specializes in square body 4x4. Their custom leaf springs make them ride a lot better. I am excited to see what you end up deciding to do with the Blazer!
