This is a long story, need opinions.

Ok, here's the deal. I have been on this board for over a year and a half now and are faced with a huge dilemma. Several months ago I sold my 84 SWB for good money and decided to start a 2wd blazer project, mid 80's style. I bought an 88 model 4wd k5 for $2500 and began the transformation. That project ran out of gas when I found a 96 2 door 2 wheel drive tahoe. I have always wanted a 2dohoe and this one was pretty clean. It needed a new interior, but that was cool because I can do that kind of stuff. Anyway, I managed to part out the K5 and make my money back. So the hoe project began and I finished it in about 2 months. Complete new interior and new 4/6 drop with 20" centerline archer wheels. As a frequent visitor to this board i always kepth the itch to have another square body, 67-72 or 73-87 works for me, it doesnt really matter. I decided to put the tahoe up for sale and have had some decent offers. (10-12.5k) I was asking 14k. I was seriously considering the 12.5k offer when a gentlemen approached me about trading a 67 chevy truck and 72 2wd converted blazer (the blazers have always gave me wood. I know TMI) and a whole pile of parts. The guy said he has all of these new parts for projects that he wanted to start but quite frankly didnt have the time. He has a beautiful nine month old daughter and he wants to spend time with her and the family. I can sympathize as I have a little girl myself. He said he wanted a 2wdhoe and he would trade me all of this stuff for mine. This all sounds crazy and he knows what he has and he knows he is taking a substantial loss money wise. He is not an idiot by any means. He said he wants a good clean custom driver he can get in and go. My dilemma is should i trade and start a new project? I know the answer really depends on me and the amount of time and money i can dedicate to a project. This will probably be a 1-2 year build and pretty sure I can pull it off. I guess what I am really asking is do you think the value is there for all of the parts listed below. I am certain the answer is yes, but would like to hear some input from you guys.

BTW. I have met him and went to his house and saw a bunch of this stuff in person and he is one hell of a nice guy.

Here is a partial parts list and pics of the vehicles involved. He has a lot of stuff not mentioned. Heck, we exchanged a bunch of emails and every other one he was adding stuff. I am going to have to print it out and reconcile the list just so when/if we do the deal i can get everything.
