this is true... and it is nice looking i haven't gone up to Raleigh to physically check it out though, but the guy said he's pretty flexable on the price :pimp:
im dropping hints to the ball n chain but.. :dunno: im probably going this weekend with cash while she's at work:whistle: on the way home pick up roses
that should win her over (hopefully)
 
Well you've come to the wrong site if you want people to talk you OUT of buying a one-owner K5 with mint body.

Super clean one owner K5, New gm 350/sm465 captain chair... Think that's beyond begging for forgiveness. I think you're authorized slamming your foot down and saying 'man has spoken' on that rig :haha:

Yes sir like I said never know what's gonna be out there. This might be a good time to lose some points with the wife
 
Well, she said i could get the blazer!! so do i get the $4300 (offer less) that's already a manual and make a trip to get it. or buy something more local that's automatic cause nothing around here is a manual.. but its cheaper.. not as clean looking...:dunno:
 
I'm really, really liking the silver 85, High optioned, no rust, and a Manual!? That thing has me biting my fist. My only complaints are, And they're nit-picky, is that it doesn't have It's fender emblems or a hood ornament.

I love mine, but damn does Custom Deluxe get boring.


Like I said, I'd be on that thing like stink on sh1t.
 
well i texted and emailed him and no response!!
(granted it is thanksgiving) but if i was selling something i would be checking my phone/email.
i going to offer him $3500 (my budget is 4k) and there is somethings no matter what vehicle i get i want to change (i.e.) HD engine cross member HD shackles... (roughly 259) in total
 
Keep in mind that the 86 and earlier blazers had TONS of vacuum hoses and the first blazer i looked at was an 85 and I immediately backed away and started looking for 87 and later (almost no vacuum hoses) and TBI.

Yeah, I know I had a 79 Jimmy (my icon or whatever its called)
Vac isn't really all that hard just hoses going from whatever point a to whatever point b just finding the points may be difficult but not to bad.

True, but it also creates alot of clutter under the hood and lends itself to many chances/points of vacuum leaks. To each his own, if you don't mind the clutter and don't mind finding/repairing vacuum leaks then by all means go for it.
 
plus TBI is way over my head, never bothered learning about it (granted I could learn easily) but I already know carbs, also I cannot find anything that's worth trying to get that's newer there all beat to crap and or really far away

well while im waiting on a reply from the other guy, I have been looking around and well I found another manual but however it was converted... :frown1:
sketches me out a bit cause he still has an automatic column in it.

but he's asking 3k for it. it is lifted way too much and ill get smaller lift for it and smaller tires. but I could sell all that right?
