Looks like I'm going to have to put off ordering tires for the Blazer until April

. It needs a motor/tranny, has a small rust spot on pass rocker, and front fenders but I have plenty of those laying around my buddies farm. I figure if I should be able to get my $$ back scrapping the huge rear bumper ha ha.

I'ts going to have to wait until mid summer before doing anything with it but I think it will get a set of bags, and a re-paint the stock colors and it'll be done. The interior is all there just a little dirty and faded the seats are actually in decent shape under the seat covers too. I'm pretty pumped about this one!!

SBTork · 03-08-2010, 01:56 PM

that's a smoking deal, good score!

68Timber · 03-08-2010, 01:58 PM

That was a steal - nice score.

Driveway Dreams · 03-08-2010, 02:24 PM

Shhh, don't Adam, he may have just bought my next truck.

Can't wait to see it man. Good find again.

Pyrotechnic · 03-08-2010, 02:30 PM

Cool find! Looks like the previous owner bought it for the big block and transmission, seems to be the fate of a lot of these crew cab duallies so I guess you rescued this one.

scotto0609 · 03-08-2010, 02:32 PM

I'm jealous. Nice find!

**old Rusty C10** · 03-08-2010, 02:41 PM

Rollinsqrbdy · 03-08-2010, 03:24 PM

Very nice bud. So whats the plans? huh, huh, huh,

bigarmzz · 03-08-2010, 03:57 PM

nice buy man!

that really is about the biggest rear bumper i've EVER seen

JohnC · 03-08-2010, 04:09 PM

I agree man nice buy, and you are right on that bumper. That may pay for the truck right there.

Looking forward to the progress on this one.

GMC Guy · 03-08-2010, 05:43 PM

ElGracho · 03-08-2010, 10:40 PM

That bumper looks like something that a guy would put on after ruining a dually fender one too many times...

Big Port Jimmy 6 · 03-08-2010, 10:41 PM

I vote keep the bumper. Scare all the Hondas in town Jay

joe231 · 03-08-2010, 11:12 PM

You are gonna put a 6.0 in it and give it to me? You are awesome!!!

gchemist · 03-09-2010, 01:08 AM

The fenders alone are worth that much!

D-Day · 03-09-2010, 07:00 AM

Damn good find. I'm always happy to see another old crew cab rescued. Good luck with it!

Not surprising at all, they have been well protected. Between the rear bumper and those HUGE west coast mirrors, I don't think he could get it close enough to anything to hit the fenders....

Actually, I'll guess that it once had a big slide in camper on it, thus the need for the mirrors.
