how about i buy this truck from you (save this truck from you) for what you think is reasonable price, so you can get a nice 2wd.

If you do the body swap, I could really use the front seats out of the donor. Maybe the top and hatch if they are good. Maybe a few other pieces... Hell, it sounds like I should get everything you take off of the donor.

It probably wouldn't be a 'chop', per se, though I have been known to break out the sawzall Still not sure I want to frame swap this one, as it's just so clean. Most people I talk to think it's restored and are shocked when I tell them it's mostly original. You just can't duplicate that; part of the fun is preserving the history. On the other hand, it would also be a really clean 2wd and make people shake their heads. I used to enjoy sitting back and listening to people try to figure out what the deal was with my old yellow blazer--especially with the top off--hacked pickup? converted 4wd? monstrosity? I keep seeing this one in my mind aired-out, tucking 20" TT2s, topless, with the plaid seats catching some rays

Just think, if you had picked up that 2wd in the eighties, it would have probably ended up pro-street, tubbed, monochrome teal, with a pink heartbeat stripe and grey tweed interior!

Oh, I know you wouldn't need to chop anything. Your builds are always done right.
I have no doubt if you do put the body on the 2wd frame it will be super cool.
Looking forward to the build.

Yeah, I lived through the pro street days, tweed, and candy colors. I regret that I never had the foresight to buy that thing from him. At the time, if wasn't a big block, I didn't have any interest. Go figure. THIS is a spitting image, except stock height and more rust.

That Blazer can be bought today... board member mrweld owns it and is open to selling it. (sorry for the highjack)

Make an offer- everything is for sale

That goes for anyone... I wouldn't be asking crazy money for it. I really would just rather have a 2-wheeler...

Thinking of using the seats in my truck, but undecided. Everything else would likely be for sale if I end up using the frame. The top is good, the hatch has one major crack.

Thanks, man. I'm slightly averse to hacking this one up, too. I really like that ochre!

If you put a price on it, be careful, someone will pay it. Happened to me recently!

Haha! I know, right?! Talked with my wife today about what we think it will take to let go of it. I have some PMs to reply to

**Tom Vogel** · 01-01-2014, 11:11 AM

Man O Man... I think I would regret selling if it were mine. BUT... selling to a member is good... I guess ... lol
