Rusty,

I don't know about the Blazer II's (S-10 Blazer) I never looked into them. I stumbled on the full sized Blazer tank because my buddy had one laying around. Like I said, GM went to fuel injection (TBI) in the full sized truck line in 1987, so the years after that should be good to go

Bobby

IIRC in 88 the cars were still OBD1, so they had a lot fewer sensors, and were only concerned with engine management and polution control.

I am using a TPI motor in my 40 coupe. I would save evrything you can, just because you can. You never know what you can use or trade. However, you will probably want to purchase a seperate harness for your TPI . Here is a site I found invaluable and purchased his harness, good guy. www.jimsperformance.com

Rusty - Sounds like you are talking about my bed mods. FYI: https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...&albumid=15273

Yes sir You are right I think that looks so Kool. My bed was to far gone to try to save but a buddy has a 53 that his son started and never finished so I traded him out of it. I'll use my fenders on the box. If i do it like you did i think there will be no problem with using the IROC rear end as far as width. I may get back with you on some of the things i don't understand but I know i'll be doing it to mine but it will be a while. THANKS RUSTY
