Check out this build, big boxes in front of the wheel wells post #4-photo #3 are most important, these hold the door gaps also.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=631802 |
Thanks for the info, I'm familiar with trucks, not the blazer so this helps. I noticed that in front of the rear wheels (inside the wheelwell) it had those new pieces shown in the pic linked to, I did not notice if the whole "box" was replaced though since I did not know to look for that. I noticed it had new rear leafs, new body mount bushings, stuff like that. Doors had proper gap, and like I said, floors and rockers appeared to be professionally installed most likely. Nothing scary like the stuff I usually look at (you have no idea, or maybe you do) I am going to guess they replaced those boxes as well but it is an hour away to go check. Is that a deal breaker if they have been replaced, or something that would drastically lower the price?
I just like this blazer, no interest in a suburban, nothing personal. And to re-emphasize, it's not a requirement that it tow heavy loads. Just a fun daily driver would be fine, but being able to get it on the highway would eventually be needed.
