Thanks guys.
I don't know if I ever told this story...and if my stories get monotonous just say.
My parents help me purchase my first car 1968 all original mustang. Factory A/C...the works...but being 16, no money to fix it up like a kid wants, I put a for sale sign on it. Back home "McHenry" is the cruise strip...where "American Graffiti was based and the idea came from for the movie. Anyhow there was this Chevy Shop that sold parts and everything for '67-72 pickups and blazers and suburbans. Later I used that place a lot for my three pickups that I have had those years, but that is another story. Anywho, one day, before I knew anything about these year pickups or anything, I drove past and there was this yellow "Blazer" sitting out front for sale. He wants 5k. It was a 2wd 400 small block with a 400TH in it. I could not sell my Mustang fast enough. I went in, talked to the guy a few times, asked if he wanted to trade...blah, blah...I eventually sold the mustang for twice what we payed for it, and the blazer was gone. I would have had enough to buy it, and some money left over...So, I bought my first pickup....71 Short fleet, for 3500....and it was nice...no air, or any options, but that was my favorite pickup out of all three.
So, hear I am...almost 24...and still looking for a blazer....<sigh>
Funny how alomst 8 years later, I still want one...and I would have had one...
oh well...I know I'll get one...but I sure hate the "patience is a virtue" guy...
Anywho...thanks again for the words of encouragement....
I will keep my head up, and not look so hard
regards
