Your Opinions - 2wd Blazer Conversion

I was looking at a driver truck near me today and figured I would check with you guys to see your thoughts on this conversion...

Original 4x4 - now a 5 lug 2wd conversion

SBC 350
TH350
Front xmember is from a 78 truck
Rear axle from a 78 truck as well
New Exhaust 3" all the way - glass packs - too loud for me though

Said that he cut down the 4x4 mounts and changed the leaf springs - instead of just moving the axle on top of them. Also cut an inch out of the front springs.

Bad
Gas tank is a VW tank - so 8-10 gals - and gauge is backwards (Empty = Full)
HEI wired in wrong - so he can't shut it off with the key - (I tried to tell him how to wire it correctly and he didn't want to listen - OK buddy)
Both Doors stick - so there must be some sag
Hatch Hinges broken
Interior is very rough - home carpet throughout
Put Undercoating down on Bed and Floors under carpet - looks like roofing tar to me though

I did take it for a test drive and it did run and stop OK.

Comes with an excellent BesTop with all the hardware - no rips, tears or damaged windows...

I would like to hear your opinions by the pix only...and tell me what you think this thing is worth. There will be a few sets...
