What do you guys think???

[Bishops Trucks]

How's it run? Body looks to be solid. Needs a good cleaning but it looks like a good deal.

[slug]

looks like you scored.

[BowTieOgre]

Looks like a great deal to me...but im not sure if the person in the first pic with the folded arms is too thrilled.

hahaha.

Nice find, what are your plans for it?

[1974k5blazer]

well thats my aunt she is never thrilled! i want to rip off that hideous grille guard, and put some original rally's on it, tbi 350 and 700r4 with a 241 t case, basicly i want a new drive train in a full vert body! everything else goes back to stock, except for a 10 inch lift and 37's, it does not run right now, someone pulled the pass side head off for some reason, i was told they just started to part the thing out, but i have a spare 350 thats going into it, while i rebuilt and turn the original motor into a tbi motor. I ran the number on the block and its the original motor! and the odo says 50k and supposly it was on ranch its whole life, so im thinking its possible that it really only has 50k on it, but i guess there is no way to tell for sure!

[mattcarlson]

for full size i would really recomend a np205 or a np208 factory t-case over the 241. they are much stronger and have beter ratios for playing (hahaha) and you know you will be...

Nice find!!!! Is that the one that has been on craigslist?

[1974k5blazer]

Yes sir in queen creek, the guy started out asking 1200 for it, which i would of paid happily, i forgot abbout it, then sold my 74, then found this one right after that. The next day my dad was on his way with a flatbed to pick it up. I will begin working on it april 1st when i return home....stand by for more pics!

[1976K5CHALET]

Hard to see...but is that a hickey sidewinder winch hiding in the frame rails?

DW

[1974k5blazer]

I dont know if its a sidewinder yet, but yes it is a hickey, and it also has hickey hubs too! cant wait to get home monday and go through it more, not bad for 650 bucks huh!
