Blazer People....

[jwhitfield]

Lately the wife and I have been intertaining the idea of getting a 72 Blazer 4x. We currently have a 72 4x lwb truck. I'd like your ideas on the general worth of an apparently clean machine. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics, but thought if I gave a decent description, someone might be able to give a dollar value. Yesterday I stopped and looked a 72 that was sitting in my area with a for sale sign. The body and interior looked to be in very good condition. While talking with the owner I was given a lot of info about the vehicle, he was very forth coming in the things he didn't like about the truck. Seems he hasn't owned it very long, but purchased it from a long time friend. The engine is a relatively new rebuild and ran great although he though the warrenty was possibly expired. It drove good and 4x seemed to work with no problems, 350/350 factory air (a big plus in so. cal.). Wiring seemed ok without having climbed underneath and looking. The things the owner didn't like were: The top leaked along the top of the windshield, he friend rolled the vehicle on its side and replaced the sheet metal with aftermarked pieces, so the lines and gaps didn't fit quite well. He purchase the vehical for 8500.00 and is advertising for 8000.00 obo. Sorry for the length of thread, but if any one has any input, I'd appreciate it.....Thx JDW
