Finally have picts of the junk yard finds. Very solid trucks. Rocker boxes are solid underneath, both just have rusted through rockers but I pried it up to look inside and it's just surface scale inside. Beds are really solid as are window seals. I'm buying the blue one, got him talked down to 800. The green one is missing axles, but he said he had them somewhere. I'm still trying to work out a deal on that one. I think he'd go 500 without axles, and 800 with. He's delivering mine for 50 bucks 150 miles!

The second one is a conversion. What would be better? Completely overhaul the $5500 blue one that's a true 2wd or grab the second converted blazer at $17k that basically just needs paint.

Depends on what you want to do with it. No reason to have a true 2wd if you're going to cut the frame for bags and c-notches. You're probably looking at another $6K - $10 to finish the red one.

Personally, I'd spend the $15K on this one http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/2362599492.html and then drop it down with some new wheels.

That one in Nashville has been off and on for A LONG time. That seems a bit high to me, but I could be wrong.

I like the blue one because you can make it exactly the way you want. I'd get this red one instead of the one in Nashville..http://www.autotraderclassics.com/cl...ationId=104494

I'd like to see that one without all the photoshop work to see what it truly looks like.

Yea, I've never seen that one before. If it's at Goodguys next week I'll get a few shots of it.

I think the column color is correct being the saddle color of the interior (note dashpad and seats).

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 
Thanks!! it is doing just fine....the top has been off for about a month now, and just about got all the interior changed from gray tweed back to factory black....I have an LS1 for it, just trying to gather all the other parts i need to make it all work....the more i look at your truck, I think about painting the lower part white..

Excuse my ignorance. i"m a new guy to the site. Like most of us, I have caviar taste with a burger king budget. I'm looking for a solid project that would need drivetrain and interior, preferrably not a rust bucket.

You might look for a 4wd and convert it to 2wd. Here's an article showing how to convert - http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticl...ion/index.html

Asking and selling prices aren't always the same. I've seen quite a few that stay for sale for a long time.

PHAT TONY 08-11-2011 01:17 PM

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 
It's interesting to see some of the ads that people think increase the market price of these, and trucks as well, reposted months or even over a year later.

5150 08-11-2011 01:27 PM

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 
You're right Bouncy, I just didn't think Craigslist Ads had turned into Pawn Stars, where you ask for the moon and then sell it for $500.

Somebody needs to buy Ron's blazer. Especially, since there is one for sale that not in a state that's touching the Pacific Ocean!!

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 
If anyone is looking for a good deal on a project Blazer. Buy these 4 (yes FOUR). http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=478568 I've looked at them and I can say you could get a great deal on all four. I would say the could all be had for around 3k- 3500

If I had the cash, they would already be mine. In fact, if you aren't in the Charlotte area, maybe we can work out a deal that I will pick them up and store them for you until you can pick them up or get them shipped to you. Haha. Perhaps if ya give me the green one :). Or you buy them, I'll pick em up, store em, ship you what you want and part out and sell the junk on here. I know the parts will pay for the initial investment. So, in the end, you'll basically have your blazer for free
