1969 Blazer
I have come to a point I believe I need to sell this Blazer. Here are a few pictures and I'm curious what I could get out of it. I have had it a little over 17 years and have never had it off the road. Probably no more than 50 miles on it since stroking to 383 10 years ago. I do not claim to be a mechanic but I have enjoyed the work (not ride).
Removed body and cleaned it up, painted it, replaced body mounts. Installed 6'' lift springs in front, 4'' in rear plus shackle flip. Installed 700R4 and NP208 transfer case. Because of the TC I felt I needed more room to clear so added a 3'' body lift (ugly). From there bought 36'' tires to fill wheel wells keeping me from removing the body lift as there would be no clearance. New exhaust with flowmasters installed before body lift and tires so pipes need to be raised in rear. Part of floor pans and kick plates replaced, inner and outer rockers also. Bottom of both "rock boxes" have holes cut in them from previous owner and I never got around to replacing them. I sanded the whole thing down to metal, primed and painted, clear coated before I read up on it on this site so it is not the best. The worst is the nose on the hood that came repaired and I thought would be OK but is not, and I filled in the hole from an extra fuel tank filler which also is not the best. 14 bolt FF in rear, 10 bolt in front. Disc-Disc with e-brake not yet connected in rear. Double wall top in average condition.

Re: 1969 Blazer
Hard to judge on just a few pictures, ballpark figure that would get my interest is somewhere around $7k. But that highly depends on the quality of the repairs that we're done... for me If the patches we're done with lap welds and lots of Bondo I'd have to redo it so id expect a drop to around $5k. Someone willing to get Run it as-is may be willing to pay a little more. Seems that there are a lot more of these available out west, in my area you don't see many come up for sale so that may give it a little higher premium.

Re: 1969 Blazer
Thank you stangtjk. Mostly butt welds that I recall with minimal bondo. Just to help smooth it out, which I will say could have been done better. I could provide more pictures if you wanted to spend the time. If not, thanks for the input. I do appreciate it. I was stationed at Langley back in 1975.

Re: 1969 Blazer
One of the difficulties in selling a lifted vehicle out of state is that it is not going to fit in most shipper's enclosed single or two car trailers (or maybe even a 7 car trailer unless on the top back) due to height and you would have to have some narrower wheels and tires to load on a conventional open trailer. You have put some money and work in it over the years. It looks like a solid truck. I've seen absolute rot boxes sell for 5K needing everything. If I were you, I'd hope to get close to $8000. A new owner could always take it back to stock. GLWTS.
