No I just pulled my usual and stuck my foot in my mouth. After looking at all the pictures, I now realize my mistake.

With so many scammers out there it's easy to resist the idea one of these truck can be worth and sell for that kind of money. There are definetly some nice Blazers and C10s out there, this being one of them. Adam and Rich have both done a great job on this Blazer.

58K is cheap compared to what you'd pay buy the EXACT same type of resto mod of a 69 Camaro, or 70 Chevelle or any mid 60's Vette, or Challenger or 'cuda or Mustang or pick any popular muscle CAR. And this Blazer is much more UNIQUE with all the same technology, quality and awesomeness of any of them. And yet many still think that quality, professional resto modded C-10s and Blazers should be maxed out at 20K........maybe give it another few years and our trucks and Blazers will see the respect they deserve. And before I jump off my soapbox, our Blazers are much more rare in production numbers and numbers of survivors than most of the models listed above!

Now if only I could find a nice one in my price range.

At least you are in the south and should have a little better luck finding one. I'm stuck up here in Maine where there is hardly a first gen blazer to be found, let alone a 2wd. Even if I could find one up here, it's more than likely to be a pile of rust.

Hey buck, I purchased a squarebody from your neck of t he woods. Pictures looked real good. When it arrived here I thought I would replace the interior from a rusty Michigan blazer I have. I got a good surprise after I removed the carpet. The complete floor had large rust holes. Removed the entire floor and replaced it with a pickup floor. I had to cut the floor in half from front to back to make it work. The roof even had rust holes. I have been working on it all winter. I have over 100 pictures of the work done the frame had large rust scabs on it. I bought some white vinegar and lemon juice at the dollar store and kept spraying it down and that stuff really does eat up the rust. I was shocked. Cut the roof off thru the cowl and behind the doors and did the same on my Michigan blazer. Got everything welded now and it looks pretty good but still needs work.
Don't worry about your cab corners Scratch your fanny a few times and it will all come together. No More Florida vehicles for me they are all yours my friend.

I called about that one. It isn't a true 2wd it is a converted 2wd.

$8500. It has spent the last 20 years in Missouri. Older restoration, with a real ugly front flame job on it. I think it was overpriced by $2000 but that may just be me. I think it had a vortec 305 in it but not sure.

I called and asked what the first two letter of the vin was, he replied with CK.

If you want a 2wd Blazer to drive and have fun with, who cares if it HAD a front driveshaft. I went crazy a couple years back and put mine for sale; didn't get a single bite at 20g's! I've got that in receipts....never mind a factory canadian 2wd Blazer to start with. I'd convert one in a heartbeat!

[dialric]

Lol, I just sold one of my trucks. Once my new company lets me know a move date, we'll be making a slight detour and if you still have it then I'll be driving away with it. Missed my chance when it was in Diego, I don't think I'll be passing it up again.
