thanks fellas,i really love this site it is so addicting.the trade would have been kinda lopped-later he told me the blazer had no interior,no carpet,a hole in the floor where the transfer case shifter used to be,bumpers had one bolt keeping them on,and the rear seal on the tranny was leaking.i got really lucky with this s10,i took it to super chevy this past weekend and it ran 11.04 in 90 degree heat-so i am extremly happy.
