1988 Blazer - Corgi Hauler II

[Stielow]

My wife did not like how low the 1978 2WD Blazer sat. I sold the ‘78 to pay for the paint job on the 1969 Camaro project Apex. I missed my Blazer for I found this 1988 Blazer in Las Vegas. It is a clean 88k miles rust free starting point. It is loaded for 1988. 350 with a the trailer towing package. PS, PB, Air, Cruise and power windows.

I spent last summer getting everything to work. It runs and drives great.

Very clean! What are your plans for it?

[Stielow]

So last summer I got everything to work and it was a great cruiser. AC blows cold, cruise worked even the 1988 cassette worked (kind of).

The winters are long and cold in MI so I blew it all apart.

LS3 with a 4L70E is going in. Mainly because the 1988 350 leaked oil.

I’m using the Holley front accessory drive, the mid mount. Makes a very clean and tidy package.

The Holley cast iron exhaust manifolds that I will connect to a 2021 Chevy High-county exhaust system I was able to buy off Facebook marketplace

Yes stock suspension. Maybe a tad bigger tires.

Funny thing, the wife complained the old 2WD drive one was too low. Now she want me to add a door handle so she can get into this one. I told her I was buy a small folding stool she can use to get in. You can never win.

Sorry for my lack of presence on Lat-G new job has me jumping.

1988 was the year started at GM as a summer intern. I remember driving these trucks when they were brand new. So purchased 1988 for a reason.

Good memories.

Mark,

It's going to be nice!. I have 1983 that I am considering going to LS. Mine was originally a 6.2 diesel that I swapped an SBC in a few years back.

Your transfer case looks like the NP208 so did you use an adapter from Novak or did it bolt up to the 4x4 4L70E version directly with no mods? I would also be curious to know what engine mounts you used. It appears you made your own spacers to get a little more lift on the pan. Looking forward to updates

It was an adaptor from Advanced Adaptors. Bolted to the 4L70E and gave a electric vehicle speed tone wheel and pickup for the ECM.

The engine mounts were Holley, but because we used a GM truck oil pain we spaced it up a 1/4 inch.

Rad is a 2021 with stock GM cooling fan. I should have no cooling issues. Total cost around $300.

New rad used fans. No aftermarket parts will come close to this for the price.

Some assembly required….

While the parts are out getting power coated we cleaned up the engine bay vs blowing it apart to paint or powder coat. This is a 88k mile NB truck so very little rust.

Because this is going to be our Barrett Jackson tour car this year we are swapping the seats. After looking at a lot of GM seats I settled on 2018 Full Size truck seat. I wanted full manual so it would be easy. Stock flip center console. This were off Facebook marketplace for $250. I need to fully recover them any way so the Upolstry really does no mater. They fit great and are way more comfortable than the stock seat and the slide back to adult height.

Sled Alley built those but the rubber isolators are 2022 Caddy CT5. The lower isolators are 2022 full size truck. I’m sick and tired of failing radiators. Use the GM stuff and it should last 100k miles easy.

I thought the issues he had in the past (Red Devil or LT5) was not enough movement of the Radiator and Fans assembly even having it rubber mounted to the core. So he wanted to go with a frame mounted unit like GM uses in all cars to allow it to move around a bit and not break anything. At least that was the story on the Camaro's.

Yes, I was aware of that. I wasn't sure when he began the 'floating' mount locating vs the old school bracketry. My question was more toward is there still issues w/aftermarket radiators failing w/the updated mounting method?

Yes, it is a E67 controller so it will run the PWM fans and the AC pressure input.

Overflow tank. One line is the steam line that goes to the engine. The other line goes to the radiator as a vent.

It is also the fill point for the cooling system like a new GM truck.

We hid the Dakota Digital stuff in the old ECM mount.

What model cluster is that? DD makes some really nice stuff

x2 that's very OEM looking which is something I would want if/when I ls swap my C10. Congrats on getting it running, Mark!

It is a HDX. Very nice stuff. The custom group put my Log in the Drive Information LED screen.

Well it is all together and almost ready. Waiting on the engine Cal. I changed a few things from the base LS3 Crate cal. Once that is done it is time to get some miles on it before the Barrett Jackson tour in Sept.

I know it is not an over the top build, but it is a fun cruiser. It will be sorted enough I can drive cross country.

I think it's a fantastic build. Very nicely done.

[Roscoe03]

That is top notch!

[68454RS]

I think I like this more than the "over the top" builds

[syborg tt]

This truck brings back a lot of young me memories. I sure did have fun right up till the moment we launched it into a really deep creek/river. Unfortunately we abandoned the truck and walked miles home.

Love the simplicity of this build with all of the modern stuff. Way to many cool ideas that makes me want to revisit some of the stuff on my car.

On a side note I need to road trip to Sled Alley as I would love to see this shop in person.

Blazer up date. I purchased these off Facebook marketplace for $250. Dirty and fairly nasty

I’ve never painted plastic before and so far it has turned out great. Matt stained the carpet also. Curious how it well it will hold up.

That looks really good Mark.

[214Chevy]

Super nice Mark...

[WSSix]

Those turned out very nice. I hope the painted plastic does hold up for you. I've heard that so long as you prep properly and use good paint, which you did, it will hold up. It certainly went on well.

Matt at Sled Alley cleaned the crap out of these parts. He reads the instructions- sometimes I don’t.

These seats should make it way more comfortable to drive cross country.

We will do the back seat after the Barrett Jackson tour.

Off topic, but is your website down? I can't seem to access it from my laptop or my I Phone.

Thanks for posting, let me see what's going on.

Back up.

We got the seats in the Blazer. What a difference in driving comfort and control. The center console arm rest makes it much easier and more comfortable to drive.

Truck ships tomorrow to Colorado for the start of the Barrett Jackson Road Tour.

Now sprinkle some dog hair all over the seats....

We put 2921 miles on the Blazer over the last 10 days. Ran great no issues. Seats works great. No major complaints from the wife.

Other the the 1988 Blazer steering that is vague yet indirect, it was a great trip.

Fuel economy at 60 MPH about 16, fuel economy at 80 MPH about 13. Wow time is money…

Congrats on a great trip, Mark! Your fuel mileage basically matches my 06 Tahoe that's lifted 4 inches.

The old Blazer is on another Goodguys Tour. Charley has the Riv. The new paint job looks great!
