Sell The Blazer and C10
buy a nice Crew Cab or Suburban for the money might even be lucky to find a SWB as you said for wheeling find it with a diesel 6.2L might not be the most powerfull engine but it gets the job done with great mileage

Well the guy came and we agreed on 5500, he is gonna pick it up on friday cause on the testdrive the passenger wheel bearing failed! Im gonna do a few things to it so he wont have to once he gets it. I feel pretty good about it all, now Im just gonna start skimming over the ccsb threads a little closer for when everythings settled down some.

youre too nice i sell stuff as is where is although if you coulda got more for it if you fixed the wheel bearing that is a no brainer

should have kept the Blazer 1. It's a 4X4 and they can pretty much go anywhere and you never know when you may need that. 2. When kids come into the picture I have a 2 & 4 year old with two car seats in the back and it works out very well I have even taken them out wheeling before. 3. when you think about it a lowered 2wd regular cab pickup is pointless. just my two cents.

I have been looking on craigslist to kindof get an idea on k5 prices, and I think I got above average price for mine with the rust it has and stuff it needs to be a reliable, safe, and good looking truck. I know what you mean slacker about the 4wd being handy, thats why we will still have the silver one until we sell it too (only to buy a newer 06-09 crew cab z71). But with the black blazer having lockers in the front and rear you really couldn't use the 4wd in anything except slick mud.

I couldn't believe that the bearing went bad during the test drive though.. I have driven this thing alot over the last couple months and it hadn't missed a beat til now. Now I just have to figure out how to get it all apart.

As for the 87, I just couldn't let it go. I looked for 9 months to find a black low mile original truck with all factory options and no rust. so I gotta keep it since I have it how I want it now. (plus we were both born in 87!!) Its great for roadtrips and running around for a change from the 06.

my Grandpa has always told the buyers of his used cars, "if that car breaks in half, and you're out of my driveway, YOU own both halves"
