They can't all be gems! (70 3/4 ton)
This one popped up on craigslist fairly local to me. (about 45 mins) Was also listed on the craigslist finds thread. Quite cheap, but I know why. There really isn't much to save. I have known of the truck for 20+ years, and it hasn't moved since 87. Yes there is a hole though the tailgate where the stove pipe was run through to blow sawdust from the shop into the bed of the truck. If I didn't have the car trailer with me I may have left it there.
Check out the inner hood structure... Enjoy

Not much for options. The rocker panels looked rust free......

Yes, definitely rust-free rocker panels.
That is because there are NO rocker panels to be rusted! Yikes! What parts on it are still good? BTW this might go well in my "Saved from the Scrap Yard" thread.

Fix that with about 5 cans of Great Stuff Multipurpose Foam Sealant, put an engine in it and drive. It will be impressive. Then you can start a "Shouldn't have been saved from the Scrap Yard but did anyway" thread.

Nope, patina is wanted by some people... I think I may save the topper.

Hood looks good— a guy recently did a post regarding buying a repop hood.

Is the box floor any good? You could make a pretty nice trailer out of it.....

It is wrinkled on both sides, but could be used again.
HMMM.... Quote:
Funny thing, I opened the hood and it was still latched shut! Box sides are weak and the box is full of wood chips so I don't know the floor condition. However, YOU could make a trailer out of it. Make you a good deal...

Re: They can't all be gems! (70 3/4 ton)
One of my old Blazers sat up at the family's mountain top farm for years and got right rotty in that mist. I had the engine/trans/t-case/hump out and poison ivy grew up into it like a greenhouse. Through the windows all you saw was a poison ivy terrarium. I had N.O.S. parts in there I couldn't get to. In the winter the snow was always too deep to drag it out. So it sat and sat. Little by little I'd get brave, suit up in coveralls, gloves, and hooded sweatshirt to recover my parts (4wd tie rod, rear Blazer drums, RH sport mirror, Blazer tank, and some other things). One time I went up there and soon as I pulled in it was "Who the heck opened my hood and left it up!??!". Upon further inspection I realized the skin had rusted all the way around the bottom and the springs raised it up leaving the inner parts down and latched. I had to laugh! That one I did get what little was good and scrapped it. The main poison ivy vine was a big fuzzy 3" serpent that was latched into the seat piping up along the back. I have pictures somewhere

Tim, I think I remember you posting a pic of that blazer on a thread awhile back. I will haul home almost anything, but not sure about that old blazer you had. (if its the one I'm thinking of)

Yikes! Too bad it sat for so long, probably wasn't half that bad when it was parked!
