Looks like I'm going to have to put off ordering tires for the Blazer until April :lol: . It needs a motor/tranny, has a small rust spot on pass rocker, and front fenders but I have plenty of those laying around my buddies farm. I figure if I should be able to get my $$ back scrapping the huge rear bumper ha ha.

I'ts going to have to wait until mid summer before doing anything with it but I think it will get a set of bags, and a re-paint the stock colors and it'll be done. The interior is all there just a little dirty and faded the seats are actually in decent shape under the seat covers too. I'm pretty pumped about this one!!

Cool find! Looks like the previous owner bought it for the big block and transmission, seems to be the fate of a lot of these crew cab duallies so I guess you rescued this one.

That bumper looks like something that a guy would put on after ruining a dually fender one too many times...

The fenders alone are worth that much!

Not surprising at all, they have been well protected. Between the rear bumper and those HUGE west coast mirrors, I don't think he could get it close enough to anything to hit the fenders....;)

Actually, I'll guess that it once had a big slide in camper on it, thus the need for the mirrors.
