Free front end

[tobiahr]

Just the sheet metal, not the suspension. I just swapped the hood, fenders, radiator support, ect from my 81 K5 Blazer and will give the old one to anyone who will pick it up. It includes the bumper with turn signals in it and rubber bumper strip and all grill pieces. It will be missing some if not all the headlight hardware and the horns. I will help load but will not box or ship. All the sheet metal is still bolted together with the exception of the hood. PM with any questions.

Also willing to give 2 sets of highback seats from a K5 one from 76 one from 79 (minor differences in drivers side bolt pattern) and 1 Blue stock center console to who ever picks them up.

I will be posting this on the pickup board later this week if there are no takers.

edit: It is rust free. I just swapped for a newer style.

[N2TRUX]

What year is the console. If it's an early style with cup holders I am interested.

[Twisted78SS]

it looks just like the one in my 75 Blazer, but that doesn't mean much as it has a few non year specific goodies in it..

[tobiahr]

I think it actually came from a 83 sub but I can't be positive as the sub was custom when I bought it.
Its listed here http://austin.craigslist.org/pts/858956817.html
It has cupholders that are removable.

The seats are here http://austin.craigslist.org/pts/858966473.html

[N2TRUX]

Thanks, but I already have that one. It's the later version.

[tobiahr]

could i get a mod to move this to the 1973 - 1987 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Message Board or should i repost?

[jdurant]

By the way, Thanks. You sure are giving away alot of good stuff, that would easily sale in the for sale section. I guess I'll leave it to somebody that needs it. But thanks for makin' this place a little cooler to hang out.

[tobiahr]

well so far you an N2TRUX are the only nibbles. No PM's, nothin...seriously if anyone wants any of this come get it while gas is less than $2.30 a gallon. I posted it here for free because I've gotten enough good advice from this board to save me more than the cost of this stuff in mechanics bills. Just trying to return something to the board.

So would you be willing to ship the front fenders if the receiver would pay for it?

[ca180]

Wish I were closer. I need some straight fenders

Currently the entire front end is still assembled (not on the vehicle) with the exception of the hood. If I cannot find anyone that wants it as a unit I may consider parting it out. I didn't want to ship because at the current time I have no way to pack these items and the prices I got from shipping companies where almost as much as the new or good salvage parts cost locally.

I would like the seats and console. How soon do you need them picked up?

All of this is currently stored in my garage so as soon as possible. I can't do any more on my projects until its ALL gone. This is a deal I agreed to with my better half. I would prefer not to hold something longer than a week after a request, meaning if someone else asks for it and can get it Nov 1 and you cant get here till Nov 8 I'll give it to Nov 1 guy.

I'm trying to be fair about this so if that seems unreasonable someone please call me out on it.

[454HO]

You are being more than fair. I appreciate what you are going through. I was trying to get rid of a complete 305 engine a few weeks ago, and it was like people wanted me to pay them to come get it.

The reason I asked is I can't make the drive to Austin this weekend, I already have other plans. But if you would be willing to hold it until next weekend, then I could come pick it up. If someone else can pick them up sooner, then by all means let them have it.

454HO now has dibs on the seats and console

Thanks Tobiah. Got the pics, and I definately want both seats and console. Will work out arrangements via email next week.

If anyone in the Houston area is interested in the front clip, and would like to come with me next weekend to pick it up, just give me a shout.

[tobiahr]

Last call on this sheet metal. Going to the junkyard for scrap weekend of Nov. 15th. I don't have the supplies to box or ship any of this stuff. If someone wants it shipped and can get a courier or another board member to come and get it thats fine with me.

[454HO]

Tobiah,

I left at 9:00 this morning. Got almost to Brenham and broke down. Waited almost 2 hours for AAA flat bed to show up and haul me back home. Guess I shouldn't have tried to drive the truck... it's never been more than 20 miles from home since I did the engine swap until today.

If you can hold this stuff another week, I will try again next weekend.

[tobiahr]

That sux. I'll hold it till next weekend for you. Hope you get back on the road soon either way.

An update to the original description. There are 2 original grills available and actually extra headlight hardware. I also have a complete 81 front end wiring harness with looms.
