I hate to do this but I got other stuff that is kinda more important right now. This is one of the most rust free blazers I've ever seen other than CA and AZ stuff. There is pretty much no rust. I can get pics of any little spots I can find. Check out my thread for all the details on mods. 1983 K5 6.2L diesel non-turbo, 700R4 trans, NP208 tcase, 8 lug ten bolt front, 14 BFF rear, 4:10 gears, 5" lift 64" tuff country rear springs with 6" ORD HD shackles and grease able bushings, 4" lift Pro Comp front springs with ORD HD shackles and grease able bushings, 315/75R16 BFG mud terrains that are like ten years old but still have great tread, 16"x7" steel wheels, full size Goodyear mtr spare. The fenders have been trimmed slightly. 6" I-beam steel bumpers. Exhaust is a few years old. Dual 12" glass packs into single exit tail pipe. There are holes in the rear floor/wheel tubs where the shocks come up through that need to be boxed in with sheet metal and it has 12" travel rear shocks with no bumpstops installed yet but I have a set of poly ones. ORD stainless steel brake hoses and rear disc brakes with a P30 master cylinder and manual proportioning valve for the rear circuit. There are some 1.5" flat blocks currently in the rear but I have some additional zero rate blocks and pins I was going to add and some tapered 1.5" blocks to swap in. I also have some axle relocation plates for the front to push the axle forward. I previously had different front springs that had it pushed forward and the driveshaft was lengthened and now with it in the stock location the driveshaft is too long so it either needs shortened or the axle pushed forward. It needs glow plugs as I have been plugging it in or using a little ether to get it to fire in the cold. The power steering all needs to be replaced. The pump leaks and the gear leaks and the hoses are all original. The engine is all stock other than a slight bump in the fuel screw and the egr has been deleted and air cleaner lid studs lengthened to flip the lid. It has dual Group 31 900 CCA batteries. It has had the front console removed and a jump seat out of a 2000 Chevy truck installed so it seats six. I should still have the console in my storage. The rear seat needs a seat cover. I just have a towel on it cuz the fabric has deteriorated from the sun. The pic below was before I had a slight mishap with a cow that damaged the left front headlights and the fender and door slightly. It will probably need a grille and headlight trim and stuff. I'm not real sure on what it's worth so I'm just gonna say $4,500. Message me on here or feel free to text or call me at 435-241-0294 Luke. It is located in Cleveland, UT which is in eastern Utah. https://ck5.com/forums/threads/83-k...ton-axles-rear-discs-boring-but-works.324516/ There are more pics in my thread or I can get some more/current ones in the next few days. The odometer says something like 68,000 some odd miles and I believe that to be actual miles. It came from CA originally and was an old grandpas vehicle and when he died his grandson got it and parked it for at least 5 years from like 2002-2007 then I got it and took it apart and it sat mostly from 2007-2016 before I got it drive able again. The calipers, rotors, pads, seals, bearings, races and all that on each wheel end was replaced during that time as well as the drag link and it has the longer dually studs to accommodate thicker aluminum wheels. I think I have put roughly 5,000 or so miles on it since 2016. Thanks
