Here ya go!





Its an 87. Brown with tan interior. It has been sitting quite a while and does not run. PO thought the engine was seized. I put a good battery in it yesterday and it dosent even attempt to turn over, no starter click or anything. My money is on a wiring issue, its TBI and I can hear the pump running so I'm thinking its a fuse or wiring at the starter has been damaged by rodents. I spent two hours wasing it yesterday, it was really nasty and covered in mold I guess. After I get it running I'll have to look at the tailgate, one side wont unlatch and the window is not attached to the regulator. It also needs a turn signal switch. I turned on the lights and only one headlight comes on, no park or brake lights either.

But it has a solid body and with the 82 2wd frame I have after I get it going I plan on converting it over to 2wd and maybe making part of my money back from the 4wd stuff.

I'll be putting up a build thread soon, I havent had much time to look it over yet.

Not too bad looking, wonder what it looks like underneath?

[menace121978]

i was wondering that too... btw doesnt look near as sweet as yours!!

[jdurant]

yellow(primer?) + ugly wheels + ???interior + $9500=



Couldn't resist.

I'm in favor of an early squarebody blazer, but get this one out of your head.
For $9500 you could do alot better than a straight bodied, static dropped, sbc, with ugly 22"s.

[menace121978]

the look on that dogs face is probably the same look you had after you clicked on it! i could just picture it

i just liked the full convert top... and i could easily pic it looking like your 82 or trav's blaze.

[jdurant]

I hope you don't picture it all smashed up like mine. That's the look I had on my face when I walked around to the front of mine after that hyundai got done with it.

[menace121978]

no buddy not smashed if it makes you feel any better i was actually talking about the other one... maybe '81??

Ken's old one...

Dennis, I can sell you mine for alot less even after you swap it to a 2wd, if thats what your looking for. I love my blazer. Plenty of room. About the only thing I would change is to later seats. I have to sell mine but I`ll get another soon.

Yeah step side was sold about a month ago or so. I`m selling the blazer cuz we have to move andI should be able to cover rent for a bit till I finish school to get my class A license. I start thursday and finish in 7 weeks.

Yeah I`m going to have haz mat, tanker and doubles. My buddy might be able to get me on with his company but most likley I`ll be doing OTL for 6months to a year before I can get something local. Not sure where we are moving to yet but staying in the area. We were taking care of my wifes grandmother but she passed in march and the house just sold so it`s time to move on.

[menace121978]

sorry about the family. things happen for a reason man. you still got my # if you need anything?

glad your staying local because once you start driving and making all that dough i wanna be able to check out the new ride/project!

good luck on the school and an immediate job placement from your friend!
