We have a business opportunity coming up in June that we really want to take advantage of and we need the cash from this truck to seal the deal! I've lowered my asking price to $10K, if you have thought about making me any kind of offer please so, we are considering all offers!
Here is my (titled as a) 1996 s10 blazer. Its been a awesome truck, taken my family places people said it wouldn't go and has never let me down with any major breakage. We wheel as a family almost all of the time, it's very comfortable for 2 adults, 2 kids and our dog. The heater works very well, with a shutoff valve in the heater core line for "AC" in the summer. This truck has taken us to Moab and BFE 5 different times, South Dakota 3 different times, SMORR down in Missouri, I can't even count how many weekend trips in Wy and MT and numerous trips in the snow. With the 241/205 doubler and 5.38's it can crawl as good as any rig out there. I've been told more than once that the auto tranny is set up perfect. Only to show them a Nv4500 (5 speed) sitting in it. I still drive 55-65 on the highway when needed to, as in heading back from bfe or Pritchett in Moab. I've done all the work myself with help from friends along the way, it has never been in someone else's shop though. It's sad to see it go, but I just can't keep it and build a buggy. So it must be sold to a new home that can keep running the crap out of it. I'm asking $13,999 for it. Reduced to $10,000! I live just outside of Denver and can help with transport for the right deal.

. Did i catch that you are going to build a buggy though? Are you dead set on selling as a whole right now, or are you going to part out at some point?
