Consider this my intro. I've had my 04 trailblazer for 4 years, my father owned it since '05 before me. It was old and used up, chassis rusty, tranny lines and power steering lines rusted, needed a new front end and brakes, complete exhaust system, fan clutch shot, etc. Not worth the time not the money to repair.
BUT....
I saved it, while saving my old 1968 International 1200C also. This rusty pig was the most rotten truck I've ever owned, by far. Ran fine but needed lots of work, but at 10mpg I couldn't commute with it so it would have just been a toy. I combined the two, and after 10 months of this project I just got the truck on the road last week. I call it the Garbage Truck, because it was built out of two trucks that no one else ever would have saved.
