I think 50 post is the minimum requirement to be able to post or replies a classified ad. So you already got the f-body accessories? If not, what accessories are you gonna use cause the truck ones don't fit in first gens. The crank pulley sticks out too far. Its gonna be a sweet Blazerado!

i love the rado frt end and looks like it belongs on a 1st gen dime or blazer, im also goin to do the rado dash as well and i did some measuring and the rado dash is 1" shorter than the blazer dash and 1 1/2" deeper than the blazer dash. so its goin to be fun once everything starts coming together.
