Nice ablazn!!!!!!

Big J · 03-28-2007, 11:24 PM

Sweet ride.... I'd ditch those steps. Probably helpful in gettin' in but they just don't look right for some reason...

But if you like'em, gitrdone.....

I actually paid less then what the guy was asking for it. I ended up getting it for $4000

I took the pictures right after getting it home, but my wifes first response was "are you going to keep those ugly steps."

I will end up getting rid of them as soon as I can afford something different.

bouncytruck · 03-29-2007, 12:34 AM

Looks great! Nice wheels & tires. You scored if you paid less than $4,000.

Chevyman63 · 03-29-2007, 05:50 AM

Congrats! Nice truck!
I think the price was right.

vtblazer · 03-29-2007, 07:32 AM

Glad to hear you picked it up, good decision IMO.

No worries on the steps,
they'll be gone after the first wheeling adventure.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-29-2007, 11:07 AM

That is one nice K5 - a bargain for sure!!!!

**lks dcvn** · 03-29-2007, 01:31 PM

Nice Truck - none in that condition (or that price) in this area - at least not that I have found in my searching. I will keep at it though.

Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks everyone !!!! I really wish to thank all those who answered on the first tread for the advice, it gave me some ammo when I went to go make the final deal. I have two friends who want to buy the 454 out of it already, I am starting to get the parts together to put in my Vortec motor in with a carb . I really like the newer factory rally wheels myself, but the wife wants some with some with more bling to them. That does not bother me though, I like the fact that she likes this Blazer and supports having it. I will have to make it a little more family friendly by dropping it down on to 33's and taking some of the lift out, but not a problem since the plan is to use it as a summer time road warrior at car shows and cruise ins.

**1971K54X4** · 03-31-2007, 10:32 PM

Great buy!

Green Monster · 04-01-2007, 07:00 AM

Great addition to our growing collection at the forum. Beautiful rig.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-03-2007, 07:29 PM

Big Block · 04-04-2007, 04:09 PM

You got a great deal.
