Long list but your thoughts would be appreciated
I am looking for your vast knowledge and experience in selling a K5 Blazer
I am considering selling my Blazer when I return from IRAQ what should I be looking at asking for it....
OLD PICTURES before all the new stuff was installed are in my gallery.
1973 Chevy Blazer
NO SMOG
I bought this truck last year from the owner of the company that makes custom mufflers (Coffin Mufflers). He originally bought it for his son.
He lifted the Blazer and put the NEW 44” boggers on it, rebuilt the transmission and transfer case. He sold it to me because his son kept getting in trouble with it.
I bought it and in the next 6 months built it up to what you have listed below, everything listed below except for the engine is NEW with less than 200 miles on it unless otherwise noted.
I finished installing the axles and everything else on it 2 weeks before shipping out to Iraq for the second time.

This is not a show truck this truck was made to play.

Also, the axle shafts are not in it at the moment, the axle tubes and backs of the spindles are capped to keep dirt out.
I was planning to install the axle and drive it to a shop to have the front gears done, but after I installed it I was sent to Iraq and haven’t gotten new gears and locker put in it yet. All it needs is gears, locker and then the axles put back in.
I am sure I am missing some things but that is the meat and patatoes of the Blazer.

I wish I could help with price, maybe 8-10K to the right buyer? I also wish it was in my driveway next to mine that needs most of the mods you have already done. Why are you selling it? Anyways, ttt
who said anything about regrets
SEMPER FI!
