Blazer's 99 1 Ton (for sale )

Looks like I may be clipping the frame. Just not sure how far back I want to do it.

All the suspension looks good and in the right place sway bar also. Steering rack seems to be in the right spot too.

Passenger side frame rail looks rolled on the end. And the radiator mounts are bent, but that's not biggy.

Got a new shifter linkage for it looks like I may have to drop the column in order to get to it and its bolts. I can shift it by moving the lever for now, so got it started and drove it to the back yard. Took the center out of the radiator so that I could keep the trans cooler and oil cooler hooked up. Even have a good chunk of clean Aluminum now for the scrap yard.
 
Did some work on the 93 amazing how they are pretty much the same front end. Even the radiator is the same size, going from a diesel to a gas. May not use the diesel one but it is the same size. It is lacking a oil cooler in the radiator. Not that the BB needs two of them I just don't really want to mess with changing the lines and stuff like that.
 
So haven't been doing any work on this at all , its to cold out side and I have a garage with a Nova in it getting the work. However I did just order a radiator for it.
 
So after looking at the frame and looking some more at the frame. It is for sure bent and it is bent pretty good.

So not going to be as easy as I thought or had at least hoped.

Due to my work time constraints as in, I am working 60 plus hours a week not really sure that I want to tackle it. But with the cost of buying something else not sure I really have another choice.

Call a body shop. My buddy rebuilt a few wrecks and he took a couple to get straitened on their fancy frame machines. It was only a couple hundred bucks each time.
 
His were 90% whole cars. They set it up, braced a few places and pulled a few others around and were done.
He said it went super quick. It'd be worth a few phone calls at least.
 
yeah took a trip today and got some quotes one is coming to look at it this weekend, both are a month out which is ok.
 
So truck went to body shop. Frame is too bent to fix.

Truck went to backyard to be parked to decide what to do with it.
Plan is to buy my brother's 07 Dodge and use it as a tow vehicle.
So basically I have 2 parts trucks. 1 ton Chevy trucks one with a bent frame 1 with a straight frame 1 with a straight frame. One's a 4 door long it's a 4 door long bed 1 is a extended cab long bed.

Anybody want to start a project.
Give you a really screaming deal on both of them.
