Hi all.
I recently brought my 87 Blazer Tahoe back from the dead and got the bug to do a major rebuild. The 2.8 is in serious trouble. The body has holes in the usual areas, but is overall solid and the 4wd, transmission and suspension is in very good condition.
I am thinking about buying a parts vehicle and was curious if anyone here can tell me what years will be compatable parts wise.
Thanks all.
Dave

82-93 will all bolt up, BUT somethings like grilles might need extra parts.
best bet for a 2.8 is find a 90's pickup with the 2.8 and transplant the engine and EFI system

OK, thanks for the info guys.
I am really looking forward to bringing this thing back from the dead.
I bought it with 52 miles on it, so I have obviously had it for a long time, though I parked it behind my garage over 3 years ago.
Any resources for parts, new or used wouls also be appreciated.
