Believe it or not, this was standing on end in about 2" of mud leaning up against a tree. Pretty sure it is a new take-off. Good thing i saved it. Just thought i would share. Enjoy...

dan42 · 10-21-2009, 12:38 AM

Richard8971 · 10-21-2009, 12:38 AM

All it takes is alot of time and alot of miles and you have to stumble onto parts sooner or later...
Funny thing is there was a blazer front clip lying there next to it and he wouldn't sell me the emblems off it.
