Spend a little more and go out west u will be way farther ahead

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

Sorry to hear !
The problem with these trucks is that even if you go out west you're not guaranteed a rust free truck.
Sounds like the same scenario I went through when buying my Blazer. It was a 7hr round trip also, and when I got there the truck had a lot more rust than the owner said. I looked it over real good and told him I wasn't interested. A week went by and decided to offer him a much lower amount than what he was asking, because I wanted one of these and there was no second choice for me especially given the fact that I'm in Canada. I definitely have no regrets now for buying it.
Things will work out and you'll get one soon enough.

sounds good, im looking. Thanks

I bought what I was told was a clean one based on photos but without ever seeing it. The PO told me it needed rockers..... I was ok with rockers . I told him I just wanted a clean tub for an ls swap. So I got the truck and it didn't have a clean panel on it. Both bed sides, rocker boxes, floor in 5 spots, doors, tailgate , core support.
So now the trucks been at a body shop for 6 months, I don't even want to see the bill but it will be cool when I get it back.

Glad i made the trip to see this.
This truck was held together by the top. Needed a comp. tub, and windshield frame. And front fenders. I would have bought a frame and drive line..

Truckman5000 did u see that the blue k5 is back in craigslist Boston not sure what going on just thought I would give u a heads up I know how frustrating it is trying to find a nice K5 it was there this morning for 5k 1/10/16

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

While I agree to a point on the yellow, if you could get the black one around 10k. Considerably less work for yourself, has a 502, f.i, 8 lug axles. Those are all big ticket items. Fix the paint, get it running and you have a nice truck you can enjoy. Not a truck you need to strip and replace the floors

Unless you want a original truck when it's done?

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

shoot me a pm, I saw these on craigslist as well. I am thinking about selling mine and we might be able to work out a deal.

I am in Moyock, NC, just south of Hampton Roads

Here's one out west here in Oakland, California. Original Owner. CST with Factory AC.

If the body is solid, I'd snag myself if I had 8K laying around.

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

Now that's more reasonable compared to that other junk lol

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

Seems awfully cheep. Possible scam?

Re: Looking for a blazer opinions needed plz
 

You know it's a shame that these trucks have to rust, but it's really a shame that people are not honest when selling them. A guy that allows you to make a 7 hour drive to look at a truck he's lied to you about, deserves to drive a toyota for the rest of his life. Well truckman5000, it stinks you're having a hard time finding what you're looking for, but hang in there, you'll find one. But get ready to travel. I live in north texas and found my Jimmy in Albuquerque New Mexico. After only looking at pictures of it and talking to the owner, I bought a one way plane ticket and flew 650 miles out there....and then got to drive my GMC Jimmy 10 hours to get home. A friggin' BLAST! First time I stopped for gas, a guy offered to buy it from me. Just remember you're looking at the BEST trucks on the planet, so take your time and have fun with it. And also, don't pay stupid money. There are still good trucks out there at fair prices.

Again thanks to everyone for all the great help on here.
