Hi, my name is Eric, I have a 1981 C20 with a 350, turbo 400, 4.10 Corporate 14 bolt FF and a 1985 K5 Blazer with 305, 700R4, 3.42 gears that I use to plow my driveway with. Just got done rebuilding the Turbo 400 in the C20 a couple weeks ago and it works great, no more slipping in third gear. I know the truck is ugly but its been very reliable for the 8 years I've had it and have clean fenders, new rockers and cab corners to fix it. Here are a couple pictures of them earning there keep.

Thanks, Eric

Thanks, it works so good as plow truck with short wheelbase. Has around 150,000 miles and the usual K5 rust. The tailgate hinges are rusted so I can't open it without ripping it off. I don't drive it on the highway so no more salt. A lot of these trucks around here being used for plowing snow still.
