Interior looks a little home made for the price.

Re: Check it out - what do you think?

Does the pictures show two different engines or am I seeing things? Seat covers look like a sheet was sewed to cover them. I would really think very hard about buying this. But again that is just me.

Re: Check it out - what do you think?

ya the extra engine pic through me off too... the seat covers are to protect what's under from the looky-lous.... I think the price is steep for the market also...

Re: Check it out - what do you think?

It's not a bad looking blazer. But the price is too steep. Some of the details(seat, outer/lower chrome, and engine bay) looks unfinished.

Looks like a nice truck. Not sure what the market is up there, so I can't comment on the price. Let us know what you end up doing. It look like it would be a fun truck to own.

Re: Check it out - what do you think?

It is nice but a little high. It's about a 8-9 truck not 13.

Here is one that is about the same price but nicer.

Agreed, and there have been several 2wd Blazers recently in the Portland area going for less.. I would keep looking or go and talk them down, way down...

Best of Luck..

Here is one, whether or not is in the same catagory, you can decide, but the price seems more in line.

Hey there is a 82 2wd here in Phoenix for a lot less but it does need the work and seems to have the tbi system already.

You could build one for a lil less than that and have it your way.

Holy 90's Batman!! Nice though, and that price seems more realistic.
