Hello, I'm Red

Hello,
I am Red from Riverton, Utah, and am glad to be here.
My current project is a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer with a 327-350 combo. It was my daily driver for a couple of years and then got parked and finally dug out again and I am beginning work on her. She is pretty much all stock with a couple small changes, that will probably be changed again so I am not sure they are worth mentioning at this point.
I look forward to posting new build pics and will gladly accept help when I run into issues (I know I will have plenty), and can't wait to see you all on the trails.
Thanks,
Redx

Thanks all!, I have been going through older posts looking at information before asking questions and advice, figure I don't want to ask what I can find already. Currently I am trying to decide what to do to build up the Blazer on a budget and things I can do in the backyard. It won't fit in the garage (mostly because I promised the wife a place in the garage once we moved into the new house), but I am open to suggestions on what I should do. I know I am getting rid of the top and the doors, but I want to keep it barely on the side of street legal until I can get a tow rig and a trailer. Once I get going though I will be starting a build thread to keep track of it all, right now it is about getting it running right and some of the oil leaks fixed.
 
Welcome. Good old Blazer you got there. Can't say I know a ton of stuff about your vehicle but I'd be willing to wrench and or help if you ever wanted some.

oh and don't sell the doors, you will need them to pass safety, unless you can talk them into passing tube doors.

One of the best things about the older stuff, I have Antique Vehicle plates on it, no emissions, no inspection, and $10 per year to re-register.
And i am all for help, once I get some cash-flow rolling in, lol, Thank you
