[motornut]

Picked this up today

[motornut]

keepin it stock ,just clean it up

[motornut]

it has an electric and reg fuel pump.....weird but helps starting lol
but thats gotta go copper fuel line...got a few things to poke at

[motornut]

warming up out there now,this thing runs great
according to the DOT papers
I'm third owner....at 82,837 kms or 51,472.53 miles
no dash lights worked last night
there is a inside /outside working thermometer middle of the dash "pulsar" woooo,
it lights up lol may be tied to the cluster issues....
takin that out, maybe later, i'm pullin the dash(keep it for the 78 truck)
roof is falling down, thats after dash
near as i can tell the carpet,seats all need cleaning
let me know what you think/see
it's clean under it i'll get shots later

I seen this thing advertised, looks solid

[motornut]

yup sure is
the used package gave me name to look up,411 in Napanee
called him ,his wife answered
the first owner is now 81
spoke to him
he bought a Colorado in 2006 and wasn't drving it much
put the pump in cause it took a long time to start after sitting
put it up for sale,a guy that stopped and wanted a 4X4 came back and bought it
i guess drove it around a year,
then tried to sell it where i saw it,
but drove to Carlton Place and bought a 4X4
used it as a trade in
got the cluster washed and it in the dryer

[mooseknuckles]

nice blazer man..

[motornut]

thanks moose
i got some un corkin to do lol

[motornut]

got the cluster out it was quite dirty
i think cleaned up makes all the difference
so i'm kinda still wondering it may have been rolled mileage wise ,going by the pedal wear,seems not bad
does seem never smoked in ,ashtray or lighter never used

[motornut]

cleaned up and painted

[motornut]

can't remember it the 78 burb had this crossmember
hope my duals will work
cause i need exhaust

[motornut]

For a 79 Canadian born and raised it sure is clean inside you can somebody sure cared
good boot mats,sure helped

[motornut]

Doug the PO said the mounts were done
looks good to me,solid
some floor patches
the hump seems higher then i thought it would be
but bolt in is great

[Telecasterjoey]

Was that the one advertised on kijiji? I saw one like it on kijiji in ottawa and was gonna show it to you! weird.

[Telecasterjoey]

Ps I think those jimmy seats would look better in my truck and my stock bench would look better in the jimmy

Yup it's the same one, guy who bought it a year ago,lives in Kingston listed it for sale there, he was asking 5000.then told me he sold it.
last Thursday it came up listed in Carlton place turns out the guy drove to Carlton place and traded it in,he said guys that looked at it wanted a 4x4

Lol but then my seats won't match
Surprised how good a shape they are in, but need to be cleaned badly
