Keep the Blazer or......? (long - warning)

[herb101]

Crossroads time on the old project pile....

I need to clear out the used car lot that my house has become and I'm getting stuck on the choice between the 71 K5 and the 51 Willys Wagon. I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions that may help swing my vote.

As a little background, and to give you some idea of where I'm coming from and left with regarding vehicle purposes, the project pile stacks like so:

1) 1971 K5 Blazer, 35's & 6" lift, 350/350/205, D44/12 bolt w/ 3.73s
2) 1951 Willys Wagon, 33's and some lift, 283/SM420/D18+Warn OD, D44 w/ARB's front & rear w/ 5.38s
3) 1987 Jeep Wrangler, 35's on SOA + 1" body, AMC401/T5/NP231, D30/D35 w/3.55s
4) 1975 Jeep CJ5, 33's 2" lift + 3" body, 4.2l/T18/D20, D44 front and rear w/4.27s
5) 1973 Scout II, 30's at stock height, 345/727/D20, D44 front and rear (not sure of ratios)
6) 2003 Jeep Wrangler - stock 4.0L/auto (wife's driver)
7) 1997 Ford F150 2WD, 33's on 3" lift, 4.6L/auto (son's driver)
8) 1947 Chevy C3100 5 window shortbed (don't ask about drivetrain...)
9) 1966 Ford Mustang coupe, 250 inline 6 with 4 speed
10) 1990 Ford Mustang LX convertible 5.0/auto (my daily driver)
11) 2002 Ford Lightning SVT 5.4 supercharged (long term project-drag truck)

Most of these can be seen at my photobucket account at http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f388/herb101/, if the picture affect the decision.

Simple and short list of 'givens' - the Lightning, Fox Mustang, 03 Jeep and 5-window are keepers. The Scout is going, as is the CJ5, the 97 F150 and the 66 coupe. The 401 is going separate and the 87 Wrangler is getting a 4.0L inline six with factory MPI fuel injection for my son.


I want to keep both the K5 and the Willys, but I really can't - in fact, I should sell them both. They both will require about the same amount of body, paint and interior work to get them to 'final' condition. I have a full TPI set-up that will work with either and I have a 700R that is slated for the Blazer.

Anyway, maybe a poll is the easiest way to help me decide - vote & tell my why, if you would.

Thanks for your time and thoughts,
Herb
