Jim (Makovai) & I went and looked at this rig today. I came VERY close to buying it - then realized my current rig is in numerous pieces - and how could I justify another Blazer with the lack of time I have right now?
Jim is still on the fence about getting it.
69 Blazer
Two double wall tops (neither in great condition)
one back hatch
two hoods for a '69 (one with a baseball sized dent in the front face)
two sets of front fenders (a pair of which are okay)
good tailgate
no windshield
bondo-city around windshield frame
the door gap on the driver door starts at the bottom of the vent window around 3/8" and goes flush at the top of the door & windshield top post
3/4 ton running gear with 4.10s (Dana 44 & 14 bolt)
4" lift front
6" blocks rear
greasable ORD bolts in all leaf spring mounts
71K mile 350 that supposedly runs good
new Edelbrock carb
new Heddman headers - but no other exhaust (other than headers)
T350 tranny
203 transfer case that doesn't quite fit with 77 pickup transfer case crossmember
34x9.50x16.5 swampers on white steelies
home-made roll bar
no front seats at all
back seat from 73+ rig
no other interior to speak of
no exhaust
no title
$600
Good deal or not? I wanted it for a beater wheeler rig. Jim wants it to part it out. What would you do?
Oh - here are some pics...
The guy basically transplanted a 77 3/4 ton into the Blazer - you can see the sway bar not attached from the 77 truck in this pic.
You can almost see the rot in the windshield frame here - at top right of window frame - that is total bondo
