In the past couple of years I've rebuilt a 1988 K5 Blazer.  The body was
changed as the original was rusted beyond repair.  Frame was OK.  Front
axle changed to a 1979 Ford F-350 Dana 60.  Rebuilt and a Powerlock
added.  Rear axle is a 1995 Dodge Dana 60HD.  Detroit Locker and Moser
35 spline axle update.  Transmission is a Ford T-19 and a NP205 transfer
case.  All four u-joints are 1410.

Last summer I pulled the 350 gasoline engine and swapped in a Cummins
4BT.  Pretty easy swap and literally doubled the mileage.  Also is far
easier to drive and more reliable.
