    Stolen!

    With pricing for our square bodies a bit weaker of late, with your budget you should be able to find something even nicer than just a daily driver. I see some all the time in that range but since I already have one of my own, I don't go to look at them. Best wishes fellow truck lover.

    Stolen!

    So sorry for you I have an 85 red SWB 4 WD pickup I would be devastated to lose that way. These are scumbags to say the least. They sure picked the carcass bare. Guess they know from prior crimes what to do and how to go about it quick.

    Rally wheel colors?

    If you don't like the original argent color, how about painting the wheels to match your vehicle color

    My 1985 has the bi-level I believe.

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    I was thinking bi-level which came along later in the offerings. If you don't have the right vacuum set up for the connection, I would think the extra space would cause problems with vacuum distribution. Can they send you one for the right vehicle you have and take this one back?

    Dual Tanks Fuel switch delete

    Since you have a switch and they (at least mine) do not tend to stall in the switching process with engine running, what is the benefit of eliminating the switch. Looks like of lazy to me.

    What is this? Asking for a friend

    Hello Was this switch linked to the hood release? No lights come on when you pop the hood And I don't think our older trucks have a warning light when hood is in half way mode. About the cruise, I was thinking our new 1979 Jimmy had cruise control but after this many years and now having...

    question about gmc vs chevy

    Do whatever you prefer. GMC was considered higher level than Chevrolet (Professional grade they call it now). My 85 is a GMC but you can easily do what you prefer as they are similar.

    question about gmc vs chevy

    I remember they would come from the factory with wrong badges on one side. Just what they had on the assembly line as they were all built in same place.

    transmission oil change

    My friend helped me change Transmission fluid on the 85 GMC short bed and the 83 Blazer. Not because fluid was bad but pan gaskets were weeping. We loosened bolts on one side / corner and then edged that side down with looser bolts all the way around. We let it come out in a big pan on...

    running boards, nerf bars, step bars !!!

    I got Aries nurf bars for the 83 blazer. Did not try putting a set on the 85 GMC short bed truck as the saddle tanks would make it more difficult. The nurf bar idea on blazer is mount to body mount in front and back. Problem with right side is rear mounting bolt anchor in the frame does not...

    1985 K5 Blazer Silverado - NOTHING ORIGINAL!

    You got a great deal The engine and Tranny upgrade are great The glove box (RPO I think) shows you had a 4 speed automatic to start so if you went to 3 speed tranny it was a bit of a downgrade but my 83 blazer was taken from 305 engine and 4 speed AT to 350 engine and 3 speed tranny. Must be...
