I don't think I did too bad for buying a '87 Silverado K5 Blazer for $800,...with the tranny shot,..I replaced it with another 700r4 for $450,..

My old man bought a '75 K5,for $600, back when...
Had all kinds of cool crap, that the seller just wasn't aware of.
Good deal, dude!

Martin, you party.
Drove it down to Lincoln. I'm heading home with it now. Goes down the road nice. Would be better with the TH700R4, but then I wouldn't own it.

I could have gone through Aurora and turned North onto 14 had I known.

Was it used in a heist, Martin? Do I see Bullet holes in it? Good lord !! HAHA!
Yeah, it's riddled with bullet holes.

I blew up the factory ten bolt rear, so I took the one out of the $450 diesel Suburban and swapped it in here last fall. Maybe summer? I don't really remember.
Fast forward to last Saturday night, and when I got to town, it was smoking from the right rear, real bad. Wheel seal went out and took the bearing with it. Drove it back home that night. Wasn't sure if it would make it, but it did. Then this morning I dug an axle shaft and a backing plate out of my iron pile, and drove it to Lindsay. Put two new axle bearings and deals in it, along with new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits. I honestly felt a little guilty sinking money into half ton axles.....

Sometimes it's just the easiest move to make.
