7.1 miles from the house and has been sitting in the same spot for 30 years apparently. Drove by it 100's of times and never saw it. It is in unfavorable condition but still has loads of usable parts on it. It was a pain in the rear loading since there were no rears, lol. Had to make 2 trips. 1st trip I brought the bobcat to get it out in a better position for loading. 2nd trip backed up and tilted the deck to drive up under as far as possible. Put metal U channel runners under the front spring shackles so they would not dig into the wood deck, doubled up the winch line and still ran out of battery before getting it all the way on. I am going to have to run a charging wire to the truck so that does not happen again. Glad I had my battery booster pack or I would have had to unhook from the trailer to go home and get it. Came off easy. Hooked it to a tree and drove away

. Took the bobcat and set it up on saw horses so I can see what is good underneath if anything. When it was originally set where it was, it was on cinder blocks & 4x4s to keep it off the ground. The years have not been too kind and the 4x4's rotted enough it dropped it to the ground. Two large tree limbs fell across the top at some point but luckily only broke a small pc off the driver drip rail. Hatch is probably repairable If I can get the drivers side to unlatch without tearing it up further.

Looks like you will get a few parts from it. Its amazing sometimes how many miles i can drive only to find something close to home...

"Running when parked"

I'd fix it too! Just need something to put under it. How is the SPID?

Sadly the glove box door was missing. I do have enough stuff here on hand to probably put it back together after the new tub showed up

Are you parting it out? That roll bar would be nice in my 72 Blazer since I do not have one.

I have not had time to do anything with it as of yet. I will probably be keeping the rollbar for my other Blazer though.
