Looks like I'm going to have to put off ordering tires for the Blazer until April

. It needs a motor/tranny, has a small rust spot on pass rocker, and front fenders but I have plenty of those laying around my buddies farm. I figure if I should be able to get my $$ back scrapping the huge rear bumper ha ha.

I'ts going to have to wait until mid summer before doing anything with it but I think it will get a set of bags, and a re-paint the stock colors and it'll be done. The interior is all there just a little dirty and faded the seats are actually in decent shape under the seat covers too. I'm pretty pumped about this one!!

SBTork · 03-08-2010, 01:56 PM

that's a smoking deal, good score!

68Timber · 03-08-2010, 01:58 PM

That was a steal - nice score.

Driveway Dreams · 03-08-2010, 02:24 PM

Shhh, don't Adam, he may have just bought my next truck.

Can't wait to see it man. Good find again.

Pyrotechnic · 03-08-2010, 02:30 PM

Cool find! Looks like the previous owner bought it for the big block and transmission, seems to be the fate of a lot of these crew cab duallies so I guess you rescued this one.

scotto0609 · 03-08-2010, 02:32 PM

I'm jealous. Nice find!

**old Rusty C10** · 03-08-2010, 02:41 PM

i like that!! good luck!

Rollinsqrbdy · 03-08-2010, 03:24 PM

Very nice bud. So whats the plans? huh, huh, huh,

bigarmzz · 03-08-2010, 03:57 PM

nice buy man!

that really is about the biggest rear bumper i've EVER seen

JohnC · 03-08-2010, 04:09 PM

I agree man nice buy, and you are right on that bumper. That may pay for the truck right there.

Looking forward to the progress on this one.

GMC Guy · 03-08-2010, 05:43 PM

i say shortbed conversion

i love the look of those...

*Stitch* · 03-08-2010, 10:03 PM

I say let me come get it...

*BGRAFX* · 03-08-2010, 10:09 PM

Congrats Adam!

Damon23 · 03-08-2010, 10:27 PM

So many possibilites there.

ElGracho · 03-08-2010, 10:40 PM

That bumper looks like something that a guy would put on after ruining a dually fender one too many times...

Big Port Jimmy 6 · 03-08-2010, 10:41 PM

I vote keep the bumper. Scare all the Hondas in town Jay

joe231 · 03-08-2010, 11:12 PM

Very cool!
Excellent score!!

gchemist · 03-09-2010, 01:08 AM

The fenders alone are worth that much!

D-Day · 03-09-2010, 07:00 AM

Damn good find. I'm always happy to see another old crew cab rescued. Good luck with it!

Not surprising at all, they have been well protected. Between the rear bumper and those HUGE west coast mirrors, I don't think he could get it close enough to anything to hit the fenders....

Actually, I'll guess that it once had a big slide in camper on it, thus the need for the mirrors.

You are correct, it was used to haul a camper for a while.

Look what I accidently found at a buy here pay here dealership in town. 88 fuel injected 454, th400, 100% rust free as clean as it looks in the pictures. The interior is pretty clean but the drivers bucket does have some tears, it's even got a carfax report saying 104k miles. Price is almost too good to pass up I'm going to take a night to think about it.

xs-style · 03-12-2010, 03:14 PM

dang good score. I wish I could find just the crewcab cab for that much lol

streetstar · 03-12-2010, 09:31 PM

Is that 'burb a 4wd ?

Driveway Dreams · 03-12-2010, 11:31 PM

And...I still say get the other one.

But maybe someone on here would take the tan one.

Oh guys, check out what happened to Adam's Blazer today. Speaking of his Blazer budget.
(It's not so shiny now.)
