I had to trade that primered FS shortbed for a 99 Blazer with missing parts and a bad trans. Both were pretty worthless imo, but at least I was able to sell the Blazer.
All the money lately has been out of town, like a guy in Miami Fla. is buying
my 79 Blazer, and guy in Austin drove here to get a Volvo turbo coupe, and
my neighbor got pretty good money for a 85 LB Silverado from a guy in Houston.
I like stepsides and shortbeds ok, but it's so much easier to find a nicer unmolested longbed in my area than a short bed, that and I like the look of longbeds better.
I'm pretty tired if repairing prev owner hack jobs at this point, but I would
still rather patch one back together than junk it, and that blue and white one
would be a gonner by now if I had not bought it from the junkyard when I did.
My buddy got this blue Short bed for $1000 but a PO put a hot cam in the stock engine so it doesn't run worth a flip, and it had a few things rigged.
I'm swapping the engine with the blue and white truck right now.
