I am posting this for Beck.
Finished in 4/2002, this turnkey buggy is a 1981 K5 Blazer frame with 2”x .120” tubing bolted on top. Some is HREW and some is DOM. Most of it has been dented, but without material failure.
The engine is a regularly maintained GM 350 that had 30,000 miles (in the K5) when it became a buggy in 2002. Trailered since then, it’s seen less than 1000 offroad miles. It is injected with a Howell throttle body kit, which includes a service manual. Performance upgrades include an Edlebrock Performer intake, RV camshaft, Hedman headers, and a Flowmaster muffler.
The transmission is a TH350 that was professionally rebuilt about 400 miles ago(5/04). It has a low-stall converter, a shift kit, and a Cavalier shifter.
The transfer case is an ORD Doubler with ORD-built(3/03) cases (a GM NP203 and rotated GM NP205). The 205 is modified for front-only ability (twinsticked) and the 203 has its own shifter. They are mounted with a custom high-clearance crossmember and protected with a chro-moly skidplate.
The front axle is an ORD-built(3/03) Dana 60 out of a Dodge. It has 4.10 gears, a Locrite, and 35 spline shafts throughout. Custom 35 spline drive flanges bolt on in place of locking hubs. The stub shafts and u-joints haven’t broken, but are worn out.
The steering is full-hydraulic with a single-ended ram mounted from the axletube to the 1.5”x.375” tierod. It uses a Grant removable steering wheel, a WMS orbital valve, an AGR Superpump, and has a large custom reservoir and filter system. This setup has proved trouble-free in any situation.
The rear axle is a GM 14-bolt, rebuilt(5/04) with new 4.10 gears and Detroit locker. It has ORD disc brakes, a shaved bottom, and ¼”-plated diff-cover.
The wheels are 16.5x9.75 with custom steel 21-hole ¼” beadlock rings, and the rubber is 42” Swamper TSL with about 50-75% tread left. The inner lugs have all been cut into smaller triangles for performance.
The suspension is all leaf-sprung. The fronts are a custom thick pack around a 3” lift, while the rear has an ORD shackle-flip with stock leaves. The rear is controlled with traction bars at each framerail. The shocks are Tuff Country’s.
Extra stuff includes a Magnum 9000lb winch, ¼”-wall 1350 driveshafts front and rear, dash-switched electric fans on a rear-mounted radiator, a 15 gallon Toyota fuel tank, and an ammo-can center console.
Asking $10,000
