Re: Boy oh boy, temptation... 2wd Blazer in my neck of woods

You guys sure don't make it easy to say no... Great arguments. Talk about devil's advocate.

The Burb fills all of my 4x, hauling and offroading needs. I have really made that thing exactly what I wanted it to be.

I really like 69-72 K5s. A lot. I don't need another 4x4 and I know the 2wd's are getting more and more rare. I actually wouldn't mind something with 1/2 as much drivetrain actually. This would be a fun fair weather once a week and Sunday driver. I see those street 2wd 69-72s with some nice rims and the top off and it actually makes me salivate. I am doing it right now!

I am going to think about it overnight, and if it feels right I will go ahead and pull the trigger tomorrow; the guy commutes from Idaho and leaves on Thursdays, so I would try and at least get a deposit in his pocket tomorrow before he leaves. This was unplanned and I wasn't exactly in the market yet.

If I had to sum it up, it's definitely the right truck, but probably not the right time... So the question remains whether the time issue is something I want to force...
