No motor, no trans 1/2T

Has motor, has trans and now, effectively, a one ton.

hotrod farm truck · 01-31-2011, 02:22 AM

I found mine with a 455 buick engine in it.

Critter · 01-31-2011, 02:48 AM

Here's my Blazer as I found it in 2006. The back end could just barely be seen from the highway. It was sitting behind a small mechanics shop in a neighboring town for about 10 years when I got it. I had been driving by it since I was a teenager, it took me a decade to stop by and ask if it was for sale.

The second pic is a few days later after we negotiated a price and was able to get it loaded on the trailer.

This is how I found my 69: Stripped, with the inline 6 and 4 speed:

Now its completely restored!

**chewychevy67** · 02-01-2011, 10:42 AM

my short box when i brought it home in 2008.

**special-K** · 02-01-2011, 11:00 AM

My '72 K2500 on it's way home from Modesto,California in 2001:

ChevyLvr4Life · 02-10-2011, 04:58 PM

Here's mine. Bought it off ebay back in Aug 08. Had to drive almost 4hrs one way just to pick it up and trailer it back. Had been sitting 2+ years under some trees before I bought it. It was nasty, took me a while just to clean it up. Here's some before and after pics...

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-10-2011, 05:58 PM

Here is my 72 when I brought it home. It had been sitting since 1993 on a farm in Minnesota. The kid I purchased it from robbed the 402 out of it and put it on ebay.

Here it is this fall. Still a work in progress.

JasonBird · 02-10-2011, 08:37 PM

i found mine on Craigslist about two hours from where I live. Traded some stuff for it and drove it home...this is the craigslist picture that i saw first. it doesn't look alot different, but it's getting there. i have had it only a month or three...

ChevLoRay · 02-10-2011, 09:26 PM

Here's what mine looked like when I bought it (10-31-99), but this was taken (10-09-01) after it was lowered in September, 2001.

The lower pic is how it looks, now. This is a bass-ackward progression, but part of the restoration process via a bad decision on who to do the work.

todd99 · 02-10-2011, 09:28 PM

It was worse before the first picture and it is nicer now than the last picture. 1971 C20 Longhorn Custom Camper, craigslist special for $2000.
