Found a blazer
 

Had somebody tell me about a jimmy for sale
info was....."she's sellin a blue Jimmy 4X4 like yours" and a number...
called left message,with email to send pics
now the info is
1981 Blazer Silverado K-5 Series. 305ci. V8, 2 bbl
Solid frame,body. Not a rust bucket. Engine & transmission are in a good state

ok so it is a rust bucket (by Cali standards lol,not Canadian)
and i don't remember seeing the K's with no hubs
but i'm thinkin just run it for the winter to save the jimmy
maybe swap the 79 4X4 frame etc over
from what i've read of other swaps the hump is a problem
oh and the starter dosn't work?

worth a look anyway for 500.

This... and I don't think those wheelcovers fit over the hubs with that cap that made the front axle permanently locked in.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they made 1/2 ton trucks/Burbs/Blazers with those chrome caps tat keep the axle locked in at all times.

Re: Found a blazer
 

you mean these i have on my 79 with the 203 fulltime tcase

Re: Found a blazer
 

My front caps are cut out for the lock outs

Pretty easy to tell. If it doesn't have one of these (the one on the right) on the tranny hump, it isn't 4-wheel drive.

I don't see any front hubs, but I will admit to needing glasses. How does the interior look?

Re: Found a blazer
 

yup that on the floor is the dead give away,only got the three pics
havn't seen "in" it yet, left another message trying to see it...30 min south from the house
wondering is the back tailgate even on it?, kinds looks like plastic covering
and "not a rust bucket" is a quote lol must be horse dodo on there then.....and gauze?

Re: Found a blazer
 

i wondered if the lockouts could be covered but no
and these don't come threw like yours
but i did crop the ones sent
and i got a email back ......not a 4X4 ....will call me later

Re: Found a blazer
 

A 2wd Blazer has to be a rare site in Canada. I`ve only seen a couple around here over the yrs. Got to be worth $500, if it isn`t a total rotbox.

Re: Found a blazer
 

don't think i have actually seen one
all I've seen are 4X4
and no call yet

Re: Found a blazer

said bought as a project from an older gent, 1st owner
when bought, lines were rusting out ,
older guy had thrown some fiberglass on a couple of spots
with gas lines gone,he put a skidoo tank under the hood to move it around
guy says runs good,but starter dosn't move??

Re: Found a blazer

Re: Found a blazer
 

Cool, look foreward to pics.

Re: Found a blazer
 

Don't look have bad from here. Hope it works out for ya and it turns out to be as good as they claim it is.

Re: Found a blazer
 

didn't get out there
had to pull my 89 burb out of the field,strip and scrap
buried to the axle
had four flats that held air when filled tho
left a message i'll go out tuesday

Re: Found a blazer
 

If anything buy it for the factory 2wd frame even if the body is junk....

Re: Found a blazer
 

went today
not for me it's body is done,frame isn't much better but the insides are nice,
just blue,i hate blue

Re: Found a blazer
 

the guy was very nice

Re: Found a blazer
 

couldn't get a click wiz or wir out of it but the blower and radio worked

Re: Found a blazer
 

it's too far gone for me

Re: Found a blazer
 

but if somebody wants this stuff it looks worth it for insides
gee didn't grab pics of fenders but needs inners and outers

Re: Found a blazer
 

WOW! that rust is awful, the a-arm is just gone....

Re: Found a blazer
 

to even consider replacing those A's,just to tow it
there were other spots as bad on the "solid" frame
hasn't seen the road since 04,with the starter seized....lol runs great
and it still had white chunks of salt/calcium you can see here and there
tried sitting in it and everywhere was crunchy
he had started to glass mat the floor from the bottom up?
to avoid removing the carpet? ...
doors,fenders,all rough glassed over rust
oh and it's $800.
then 100 to tow it
