Teeitup needs that to match his truck! Sharpie

CrewCab59 · 12-22-2010, 10:43 PM

I talked to the seller and at some point the blazer hit a cow and the front sheet metal was replaced and couldn't find the decals so they had a GM body shop paint the front end to match the rest.

Just a little funny heads up.

YBNORML · 12-23-2010, 01:34 AM

Looks like a nice truck. Did anyone else notice that the vin starts with a C, I thought all 4x4's started with a K. Please correct me if I am wrong.

In '72, GM added an extra digit to the vin's. Chevy got a 'C' (CKE, CCE) and GMC got a 'T' (TKE, TCE) at the beginning of the serial number. The second digit then represents 2 or 4 wheel drive... in this case it is a K and is correct for the year and driveline.

Thanks, I guess you learn something new everyday.

Nice! And it will be saved! 21 bids so far!

71swb4x4 · 12-23-2010, 01:15 PM

I swear that exact Blazer lived in my town for the last two years. I could be wrong, but one almost exactly like that was in craigslist about two hours from here two years ago and was bought locally. The kid put black wheels on it just like those. It lived two blocks from me, I will have to drive by and see if it's still there. It had very similar rust issues too.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-23-2010, 01:19 PM

Looks like a pretty clean example too..

1949gmc · 12-23-2010, 01:25 PM

AND it's got the radio speaker hanging under the dash. Wonder if it has the speaker holes in the top of the dash...

teeitup · 12-23-2010, 05:29 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Got me thinking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crewcab59, Thanks for the heads up on the paint. Where is it located? Thanks Randy

ls1nova71 · 12-23-2010, 08:30 PM

About 1 hour south ,SE of columbus,OH

Looked at my notes and he also talked about the rust into the rear floor/ tub section and the drivers and pass, Pinion seals leaking / had to fill up and strated to drip after drive. It was parked for about 10 years .

This info was from the seller info as we talked on the phone.

teeitup · 12-23-2010, 09:31 PM

man if I hadn't just bought my eagle truck I'd think alot more about it

CrewCab59 · 12-23-2010, 09:48 PM

I was 100% ready to buy but I couldn't get over the decal/paint on's.

teeitup · 12-23-2010, 10:29 PM

that bothers me too

Randy if you want to buy it i will pick it up and hold it for you until you can come get it. I am only about an hour and a half from there.

More than happy to help out.

teeitup · 12-25-2010, 10:31 AM

THANKS Mike, I'm still up in the air on it, the painted on stripes are bothering me some. Would you be interested in meeting me with it in St Louis if I bought it? Thanks for your offer to pick it up and store it and Have a Merry Christmas and Safe and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

1956cameo · 12-25-2010, 02:12 PM

I am almost 100% positive that the blazer in the ebay ad sold on Craigslist right before Christmas last year. I remember because I was looking for a blazer at the time. The ad had it for $3,500. I saw the ad the day after it was posted. Told the guy I would buy it, but it was already sold. I can't remember where it was from exactly but it was somewhere in the western midwest. Good luck on getting it Teeitup; just don't part it if you do!

teeitup · 12-26-2010, 12:15 PM

I decided to pass on it, If it would of had original stripes on it I might of bid. $5000 for it isn't bad in my opinion.

treveiger · 12-26-2010, 03:54 PM

5000 ant bad for a blazer.

**special-K** · 12-26-2010, 05:37 PM

I don't think it's worth it."Only rust is below trim"

The floor,rockers,torque boxes,lower quarters,door bottoms,tailgate bottom,body mounts,sills,kick panels,bottom of core support are all below that line. That's what rusts out. I guess he's saying the windshield frame and cowl are good,which are often rusted.
