A new video mini-series going through this 1988 S10 Blazer 4x4 project. Bought for $200 and saved from the demolition derby, this truck went through a lot more than I expected in the six months this video covers. Hundreds of hours of work, and several times the buying price in parts to fix up this junker. Practical? Sensible? Probably not, but a satisfying, frustrating, extended project and an excuse to hang out and fix some things with friends.
I want to be clear that this isn't some racecar build, some fancy restoration, or even building this truck (SUV?) for anything in particular. I wanted a cheap project and even though this ended up costing more than I expected (total is around $1000 by the end of this video), still not half bad in the end. This is almost more of a photo album/collage, composed largely of still pictures, but hopefully comes across as more interesting than your great aunt's slideshow.
As teased at the end of the video, episode 2 sees the truck getting a Chevy 350 swap. People talk about how easy it is all the time, should be a piece of cake, right? Collar pull
And don't worry, the 280z series is continuing soon. This is sort of a side-project, maybe made more for my own entertainment than anyone else. Sean was out of the country for three weeks and then both of us were sick for a few more. I still sound a bit congested in this video.
Special Thank You to Leon, Sean, and Rob for all of the help with this truck through thick and thin.

Dogboy Endicott it doesn't even take that much to completely restore old classic me and my dad restored a classic car and it only took about 5k and the bug was sold to us for 400

@HiltsyAdventure 6 лет назад

5k is even a lot for a bug, I bet that thing is sweet. But your right as long as you do the work yourself and stick with something that has a carburetor its a lot cheaper than New and a much better investment of your money than having your car depreciate as soon as you drive it off the lot. and in most cases, you own it and not paying the bank just to go down the road.

@xboxwizzard7912 6 лет назад

Haha true

@Kajacot 6 лет назад

Spend 5k to restore a classic worth restoring though. I'm currently restoring a Highboy F250, but I wouldn't go through all this work/money to restore an 88' blazer, those trucks just don't have any real value once fixed up, and they aren't 'classics' or considered rare or cool vehicles. That's like restoring 92 corolla. Cool, but why? Put that money and effort into something that will have value. This blazer, restored, will never sell for over a grand.

@FuzzyDiceProjects 7 лет назад

It was a 4.3L, and if it was cracked it wasn't the problem, unless you think that is what caused the low oil pressure to begin with. The insides were pretty worn and sludgey so I'd suspect that first. It ran pretty well when I pulled it, just a lot of knocking from that bad/spun rod bearing.

@StormLaker 5 лет назад

I used to own a 92' Ford Explorer. I paid like $250 for it, ended up putting upwards of $3000 into repairs.....most of that was in getting new ball joints/tie rod ends (at my local mechanic), and a set of mud terrain tires. I went through and put in new brakes, replaced the clutch (was a manual). Life was good until one day I took her in for a tune up. The guy they had working on it was a rookie and he used an air tool to attempt to remove the rusted in spark plugs.....and he broke one off in the cylinder head. Not long before that I spent some coin on getting the electronic 4x4 working. I also did body work and painted it in my driveway...used farm implement paint (Massey Ferguson Red), and used truck bed lining on the new rocker panels I had spot welded into place. After the spark plug incident, it pretty much ended my will to keep fixing her up, so I sold it for $1000 to some farm kid who had a donor engine for it. My dad's health was such that he could no longer drive.....so I inherited his 94' K1500 Chevy z71 pickup (fully loaded).....man that was a fun truck to own, but the gas mileage, haha!!

@killer13324 5 лет назад

i'm on my way to 3k with my mom's 2005 explorer. Not counting gas and oil change, until monday i have put over 2400 into it. After monday it'll be 2600-2700. And i still have the rear tow link assembly on the driver's side to replace.

I had an '87 S-10 Blazer back in 1991. It was meticulously maintained and was good on gas (2.8 ltr V6) and was awesome in the snow, the 4X4 worked great. I smashed it into a wall at the local bowling alley one night and that was the end of it. It was a decent little SUV, though. I really liked it.

But, back in 2006, I was driving her home from work and a deer ran into the side of it on the front passenger fender and door totaling it (damn near tore the whole wheel assembly off too). She was going to scrap it for $250, but I convinced her to wait and sell it for parts. I'm so glad she did! She got $300 and the guy down the street got the glass, interior, tailgate and wheels for his project.

@trs-80fanclub12 6 лет назад

Just so people know, I did the same thing, replaced everything.. .found out after the checkbook killing spree. The S10 has a habit of its harness getting corrosion in the pins where it connects to the main computer (Its next to the heater vent in the dash) any list of sensors "mine was a single pin feeding one of its injectors" will loose connection when it warms up. after spending 800.00 it was fixed with a can of Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray directly into the harness plug

@FuzzyDiceProjects 6 лет назад

Interesting! I didn't SEE any corrosion on mine after I pulled the ECU and harness connector, but I still suspect it was a computer fault one way or another. Thanks for sharing!

Getting nostalgic of the 89 s10 blazer I had when I was in high school. It had 2 keys. One for the ignition and one for every blazer door lock in site. A girl locked her keys in hers, so I tried mine. Unlocked her door. Tried hers in mine and unlocked mine. That oil smoke in the 4.3 liter was common due to oil leaking around the valve stems.

@FuzzyDiceProjects 5 лет назад

Ha, I hadn't heard about the doors being keyed alike before. I know the door key doesn't work in my other GM cars (I mix them up sometimes), but I haven't tried it in another S10/S10 Blazer before. Will have to give that a go at the junkyard!

It's really not (though I am biased as this one actually belongs to me), it was just old and worn out. And no rusty/bent structural parts on the body/frame. The Datsun was hacked up and modified on top of being old and worn, and the real horror there is from what previous owners have "fixed" on it. At least the bolts on this one aren't just finger tight!

Most people that owned one of these have good memories. I owned several but mostly pickups and I always had at least one friend growing up that owned one. other than the complete Rock boxes I regret getting rid of them. What's fantastic about these is you can open an LMC catalog and as long as you have the frame and firewall you can order every piece. That which deserves to live.. lives. No SUV made today will have the following or leave behind what these did. #Fuzzydicepimp can hopefully agree

@hwesson75 5 лет назад

I've got an '89 4.3L 2wd Blazer with that exact same engine stall. Start it up, runs great for a random period of time (usually not very long though) and then it stutters off to nopeville. As long as it's going down the road it's fine, it just randomly quits when not on the gas. I'm keeping an eye out for a computer for it to see if that fixes it this time. Did the last time it decided to just completely stop running. A friend had an '88 that had been totaled (with me in it... hit hard enough I blacked out and neck was sore for weeks...) that he was parting out, got the whole thing except for motor/trans for $150, swapped out the computer and all was well for over another decade. Was a damn good vehicle. Over 190k very very hard miles with my grandfather... It got used for things that no small vehicle should ever be close to. (I've seen it moving a rather solidly built ~20x50 wooden building across the farm sitting unbalanced on top of a mobile home frame, with wood blocks on top of the rear axle to keep it from squatting and the front wheels almost completely off the ground due to the weight on the hitch. Scary!) Meanwhile, I keep on keeping on with my ratty old beat up '93 S-10 2.8L pickup, ~140k miles, still runs great.

Wow you really did show it some love - good on you! I was worried when you were taking the engine down, and I thought 'Oh no, he's gunna get rid of it', but YAY - bigger engine. Ready for Ep.2, cheers.

2 of my friends had blazers like this and the rear tailgate locks on both of them never worked, a screwdriver opened them the same way

That is cool you guys currently have two of the cars my grandparents had in the late 80'sand early 90's ('87 Blazer and '91 Firebird). Now you just need to get an '89 Town Car and '87 Ranger and you'll have my other grandparents rides from back in the day. As a kid I liked the Town Car best even over the Firebird! What a fine example of American luxury!

The older 4.3s are known for blowing out cams. The new ones are pretty stout though

love seeing videos like this, sure a frame off restoration is cool and all but this just shows you that a few thousands can get you a nice vehicle. i appreciate the work that went into this. great job.

AAAA the 80's when cars where built to last, well um last 5 years. They were an experiment in disposable cars, drive em till barley paid off, and designed for EVERYTHING to fall apart, from alternators, to suspension parts like sway bar bushings, to windshield wiper motors, door lockes power window motors. The lsit goes on and on. The idea was to manipulated the owner to buy new instead of piss money away on never ending repairs. By 2008 General Motors went bankrupt and the junkyards all over the country had more GM products then all other car companies combined!

I did once I was driving it, but it was after the 4.3L carb install first made it really driveable. I had spent a few hundred on it at that point, and I understand what you mean. You can never really be sure about some things until you register a car. I was confident about the seller and had no reason to distrust him or the car, but it is still a good precaution to take.

@Aspra 7 лет назад

Yeah, I was imagining the original owner saying they want their car back after you got it drive-able again since its technically still their car. Would have been awful.

Most of the fun is putting all of that work into it, in my opinion! ("Fun" also meaning "tears".) I've spent about as much on it as a decent condition one goes for (~$2000) and know the truck inside and out, not to mention the V8. It may not be shiny but it gets the job done!

Man, does this take me back! I used to buy used S10 Blazers for my wife to drive every few years. We had an '85, '87, '89, '92, '96, a '98. The FI would carbon up, the EGR valve would clog, I'd always have to do an alternator, water pump and for some reason my wife would always break the headlight switch. We actually had pretty good luck with them overall but we also had one that threw a rod bearing too. I hated changing the plugs on the driver's side, on one of them if you didn't have the steering shaft turned so the flat side faced the engine you couldn't get the plug out. Yeah, that took me about an hour of "fun" to figure out. I switched to buying new Subaru Foresters in '06 which run forever and have far better MPG. Not really a 4x4 but great for driving on road in the ice and snow and can still tow 1500lbs. Cool project!
