I guess it isn't that rare for minnesota. This is pretty well stripped and rusted. Sure would have been nice in its day. Anyhow, here are some pics for your viewing pleasure. Not the rustiest i have ever seen, but getting up there. You south and west guys have it made...

And yes that is a fair amount of snow on the ground in the last pic.

Atleast there is a little left to add the patch to

Originally a pretty sweet blazer. Looks like the stuff we get up here in Canada.

mbgmike · 04-05-2011, 06:12 PM

Actually it looks like the ones you used to see around here. We are close to the Gulf and you can drive on the beaches. The salt air killed most

not good! how did he keep the empty beer cans from falling out?

**yote1234** · 04-05-2011, 06:22 PM

**pryorstemmed** · 04-05-2011, 06:32 PM

YG8 was the highlander option

The tilt was gone when i bought it, along with the buckets and console. I bought it as it sits. Not even sure if it runs, but the engine looks pretty fresh. Oil is perfectly clean and new exhaust that doesn't have mufflers yet.

chevytruckluver, not sure what i am doing with it yet. Just bought it for the running gear basically. I think the posi is still in it!

stsalvage · 04-05-2011, 08:11 PM

that's why they say if you ever look for a nice truck find a 3/4 ton A lot of people battle over this one back in the day.Did the 1/2 ton or did the 3/4 ton get used more.Well now days the only ones you can find in hafe way shape and form is the 3/4 tons and 1 tons

bosco200 · 04-05-2011, 08:52 PM

She might be rusty but shes still pretty in my eyes.

Hubscrub · 04-05-2011, 08:59 PM

If it were mine, I would duct tape a piece of cardboard over the hole and throw some new red carpet over it. You'd never know the difference. Plus, the empty beer cans wouldn't fall out.

feller · 04-06-2011, 04:21 PM

even better cut the beer cans flat then duct tape them in place the added tinsile strength and resistance to water would ensure more years of not worring about the empty beercans falling out.
