Working on an 84 Scrambler and need some guidence. First off looking for a blower motor fan. On strike 2 with ebay. Is anyone producing these or are there any compatible ones that work? Secondly wanting if the paing can be safely removed from the inside of hard top. One of the previous owners painted it black.

I know the driver floor, rear riser and some of the rear pan need to be replaced. Is Classic th eplace to go to?
 
If not full blown 100% original restoration, do the blazer blower motor upgrade. Larger blower that moves ALOT more air. You have to enlarge the hole in the firewall. Goggle search it, and you will find plenty of info on doing it.
 
We are trying to stay as original as possible. For the most part it is original. We are only replacing what needs to be replaced. It is can be repaired or rebuilt we are doing that.

Sey,

The Blazer blower motor is one of those upgrades that only a true scrambler expert would ever notice (most of whom are on here and would likely agree it's a good improvement). These will never, ever be concourse vehicles. You'll find that because they are truly orphan vehicles (AMC is really gone, not just part of Stalantis), you'll have to replace some parts with nearly- stock replacements.

Your best bet is to look for replacements which improve original performance.

True enough. I use mine to defog my instrument gages with the humidity down here a lot, especially coming out of a dryer garage area.

Are you looking for the blower motor or the squirrel cage?
What is the reason for replacement?

RockAuto has blower MOTOR replacements (no wheel).
I may have my original blower MOTOR that I removed when I did the upgrade, but I reused the squirrel cage.
I could dig through my things if that is what you need/want.
