MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 12:31 AM

he is a helluva nice guy,, he told me he would like to see me own it because the majority of the people emailing him are asking if it has ever seen mud,, he lives in the hamptons of new york,, ha h aha,, i dont think he ever took it muddin,, needs a little minor work but who cares

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 12:34 AM

pardon my last comment,, they are asking him if it will eat much mud,,, mostly kids askin about it

**68 Stepside** · 07-20-2003, 12:36 AM

Check out precious auto cargo. They're the cheapest I'd seen so far, and I've heard good things about them. Nice K5 btw!!

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 12:39 AM

hey thanks 68 step,, youre help is greatly appreciated.. i have wanted one of these trucks for a while and at the price i got it for i would be a fool to walk away ,, he said the tires are new and the truck was done from the ground up 10 years ago and hardly ever drivin ,, i could take or leave the 68 vette molded in fender flares but they are kinda growin on me ha ha ha

Steven Sellers · 07-20-2003, 10:17 AM

I used precious auto cargo from SC up here to NC/VA and they did good by me. It was a little odd to see them come down the road with a dually pulling a three or four car hauler, I figured it would be a 18 wheeler.
They were by far the cheapest although they dont communicate via email very well everything is exactly as they said it would be.

Nice blazer I hope you enjoy it

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 10:51 AM

i turned in a quote lastnight i am hoping to here back from them on monday if i dont i am going to call them

*dtlilly* · 07-20-2003, 11:43 AM

Nice Blazer Mac! I happen to like the custom fender extentions.

cdowns · 07-20-2003, 12:01 PM

yeah on long island you dont have to worry too much about mud damage it is after all an island surrounded by SALT water and they are very heavy into salting the roads !!! but there aint much mud

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 12:02 PM

well thanks dtlilly,, he is out of town today but he told me when i talked to him on his cell phone he is going to end the auction when he gets back,, a couple things i will be needing is a pass seat and maybe some air parts,, yeah he told me those flares were off of a 68 corvette ,, they cut the fenders and molded them to the k5,, they are growin on me,,ha ha ha

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 12:06 PM

he ydowns ,, someone gave me that warning earlier to,, i asked him about rust and he said the floors ,rockers, and cab mounts are all 100% rust free,, he told me the only rust starting on it is the paint is a little bubbled at the bottom of the driver door skin and there is a little right behind the pass door,, but i can handle it,,ha ha ha,,thanks for the waning tho

mac

Steven Sellers · 07-20-2003, 12:21 PM

Yea with precious aut they do respond very well when you ask for a quote and when you actually order. They then contract it out to licensed couriers who then set up the pick up and delivery.

I hope you didnt take it wrong its just when I emailed them and asked them if it was still on schedule they didnt email back for about three days and then they told me when it was getting picked up and the courier called me and set up a delivery date.

cdowns · 07-20-2003, 01:01 PM

well i hope he's truthfull i'd just be leary of a longisland rustfree vehicle after living there for 52years.
i used this company to trand a car from texas to florida 7days from the time i called to delivery www.aa-auto.com or 1-800-466-6935 A-A AUTO TRANSTORT

MAC67 · 07-20-2003, 03:17 PM

i am hoping he is truthfull,, the truck is actually located in the hamptons and he told me it was done from the ground up 10 years ago and he mainly showed the truck then he sad it might have gotten drove once every 3 months,, i to hope he is truthfull ,, but at the price i paid it will gimmie my money back anytime i need it

tyger25 · 07-22-2003, 11:50 PM

TTT....get a quote yet?

MAC67 · 07-22-2003, 11:57 PM

yeah ,, that precious cargo auto wont touch it because #1 it is a lifted truck and #2 it is in long island,, i found a company in pa. that will do it for 750.00 so i gave them the job,,they are gonna pick it up the 10th of august,, the name of the company is aries auto transport,, good bunch of people,, and theyre desk help is gooooooooodddddd lookin,, lol

tyger25 · 07-22-2003, 11:58 PM

Cool...good luck!

1969 GMC · 07-23-2003, 12:30 AM

I hope you are happy with that Blazer, I know its hard to buy a vehicle sight unseen on eBay. I was lucky with my GMC, but I wanted to be a little cheaper (read: college student, lol) and more adventuresome, so my dad and I rode Greyhound to Minnesota and drove it home. Still no major problems after almost 3k miles. Those flares are a little funky, but they'll help keep the goo off the paint

. Still not sure about the tube grille tho. Good luck, looks like a steal with those tires and everything!

1971 Cheyenne · 07-23-2003, 01:30 AM

Thats a nice truck!

We've had good experiences buying auto's sight unseen so GOOD LUCK!!

Personally, the bumpers and the flares arn't my style, but do as you please. Ain't that whats great about owning your own truck?

BLAZIN'72 · 07-23-2003, 02:09 PM

I ran into the same prob having my 70' shipped from colorado to cali. Most shippers won't touch a lifted truck. I ended up using d.a.s. (dependable auto shippers) dasautoshippers.com, they are e-bay's recommended auto shippers. There was a $100 extra charge because my truck wasn't running when they picked it up. They weren't the cheapest $875 but after waiting for weeks for other transports (only to tell me it wouldn't fit on thier truck, and they kept my $150 deposit) d.a.s. came through.
