    Dude! I absolutely relate to your love for old Blazers. I still have my '89 K5 sitting in my backyard, with both a blown motor and transmission and now also rusting away from 20 years of sitting, but I DON'T CARE! I still have dreams of bringing it back to life someday and love it more than my current (actually running) truck.
    It took me 6 months of searching in '95 before I found the right one, and for the time that it was my Daily driver it was a good, faithful truck. With front and rear TrueTrac differentials and 31" mud tires, it was an absolute MONSTER in the snow but about the most dangerous vehicle on earth on ice.

    Talk of nostalgia, I own an '88 Suburban. It was purchased new the same year I was born by my Grandpa, and was the first vehicle I had driven. He would let me drive down our driveway on his lap when I was a couple years old. When he died it became my Moms, and our primary vehicle, so naturally it was the vehicle I learned to drive on. About 10 years ago I drove it solo from Ontario, Canada to L.A. then up the coast and back, living out of the back of it during that time. Eventually I took over the ownership. Now its my house renovation workhorse. I feel like ill be buried in it.

THEN, they had a Bronco II, enter the Bronco “Sport”. They had a car named the maverick, but they decided, “who buys cars anymore, they’re so old-hat!” so now the maverick is a “truck” for Karens.
