    And the holy grail would be the 1998 12valve 4x4
    You rang? And yes it is a 5 speed. LS in back and a brake on it. I paid $10K for it in 2001 and it now has 175K on it. And I have driven it with no electrical. You have no dash, lights but as long as that solenoid is wired open it will run until the fuel runs out.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Just the fuel shut off solenoid? I was pretty sure that was all you had to do on the p pumps just not 100%. That is all you have to do on 1st gens as well but Im going to gut mine and just make it a cable shut off

    That is it. One could take the batteries out and bump start it if ya had to. My alt went out miles from home. I jumped it to start and locked the solenoid with safety wire.

    Lost the dash and lights a few miles down the road. drove another 80 miles and it never missed a beat. When I got home I cut the wire and it promptly shut off telling me that I had less than 6V in the system.

    Default Cummins 4BT

    You could buy the K5 blazer. Drive it. Buy a Cummins 4BT diesel later. Then install the Cummins 4 cyclinder when you are ready. They make bell housing adaptors to bolt the Cummins directly to the Chevy transmission. I read guys were getting over 30 mpg on this little diesel. The Cummins 4BT was in some of the older bread trucks and aluminum bodied delivery vans. Or you could go Cummins 6 cyclinder like this guy...
