This is a VERY clean and well cared-for Blazer. Original Southern California truck has been here for all but two years (was in Texas 7/07 - 6/09) Purchased from original owner in 1990 with low miles in 100% original condition. All modifications made in last 20 years were with the intention of keeping this truck forever.. meaning only top-quality parts. However, I’m moving overseas soon and need to sell!
OVER $20,000 invested (including $6K in recent paint). Have ALL records and receipts since 1990. Never abused.
First $7,500 takes truck and ALL related parts/accessories. Runs fantastic, a real head-turner.
Take the hardtop off and enjoy the summer air!

Nice clean Blazer. But I have to say that you must be the ultimate K5 lurker. Member since 2001 and 14 posts...

Thanks for the compliment.... Yes, I have utilized the CK5 website forever! It's been a fantastic source of info (as well as Offroad Design for parts).

Do you have picture of the inside and the engine?

Nice truck.

 

[88jimmy4x4]

send it back to Texas and I'll buy it for asking price

I would buy this K5 in a red hot second if I had the cash. Very nice truck.

Why? WHY? Why do you have to post this beautiful rig that makes me rack my brain on how can come up with money to buy such a beautiful thing. I can go get a loan ..... I can't, I WON'T DAMNIT! My woman would be PISSED ......that never stopped me before Reasoning.....I COULD get a loan and buy it and sell my truck, would work out the same as just paying on my truck, thats a PERFECT reason to buy it, it seems right? I own more on my truck then it's worth though.....DAMNIT!!

Do you see the stress you have caused! Man I would love that thing.

 

[88jimmy4x4]

I have the money, but Im 1500 miles away...damnit

A sad day............

My long-time dependable truck is now gone.... sold for full asking price (I'm sure I could have got more if I had the time/inclination to wait). The inside was just as clean as the out.... all three stock cloth Sivlerado seats un-ripped and un-stained.... all panels original and clean as well.

Oh well.... counting this Blazer and the '74 I owned for several years... I've been a Blazer owner for about 1/4 century!

Now I need to go thru a whole new learning curve with a 3/4 ton Dodge Ram Quad Cab Cummins!

Thanks for the compliments and looking at my old Blazer

 

[rdn2blazer]

Ahh, well good for you for getting asking price. Guess it keeps me out of debt and having to get a loan for it. Did it go to a CK5er?? Hope so.

Actually sold it to first response via a Cragslist ad. Longtime Chevy addict.... so it's at a good home.
