I'd take that dated picture back there and talk to the husband....

Just go there to talk about it first, build a relationship with the guy and i bet you can get it someday. Ive bought stuff that " wasnt for sale."

**Matt's k5** · 02-25-2015, 08:20 PM

Well these people will shoot first and talk later, the real Mc,coy's

unfortunately mine has been sitting for far too long due to title issues i didnt want to sink anymore parts or money into it until i got the title hammered out. But finally think i have the title lined out and i can go back to work on it

I first saw my blazer when I was 7 and fell in love with it, I'm 19 now. I was told it had been sitting there for about 25 years. It took me 12 years but I finally got it. Keep trying!!!!

Keep at it

I got my SWB from a guy I know from high school. It took twenty years to acquire it and it was no longer in very good shape. But it is now and was worth the wait.
I wrecked my Blazer in 2007 and it is just now almost drivable.

Dale99 · 03-01-2015, 11:59 AM

It took me about a month and 4 different offers before I got mine. That is from someone I knew fairly well.

I got asked many times "what are you going to do with it?". Fix it and drive it. When they finally agreed, one stipulation was to see it moving again. Eff that, I took him for a ride in it.

There is your answer. Let it be.

I've been slowly working on it over 15 years now. Was my daily driver for 6 years. Then the pa salt started eating it from the inside out so I made it a summer truck and then it sat for 5 years now. I'm finally getting back into a house with a garage again so I will be making it drivable and restoring it more again. The biggest problem is that since I lost my garage my blazer had became my garage since I've had nowhere else to put that stuff.

Both of mine!

Ha! Rg

I've got the opposite problem. I can't convince myself to take it off the road long enough to fix the cosmetic stuff. It REALLY needs rockers... It just keeps on going and is a lot of fun to drive, so I just do weekend upgrades.
