What do you guys think?
Well i have wanted a blazer/jimmy since i was 14. And was actively looking for an acceptable 67-72 of any kind from when i was 16 to just after i turned 18, when i found my truck for a good deal. When i was looking i came across a very very rough jimmy...... no engine/tranny had rust through the rocker boxes and rockers and such. No interior, cut dash double wall top. I looked on the glove box door sitting in it (not sure if it was original but it may be because the truck had a clutch peddle and was the proper ocher color) and it was originally Ochre, 4spd, 350 and am radio. it also said cheyenne on it(mabey it's really a chevy?). Any way back to the point, when i first saw it the guy wanted way way too much money for it($2500). I saw it about 4 months ago in a different location, perhaps a dirrent owner seeing as he has quite a few chevy trucks sitting around there it was for $1500, and was alot more interested in the rust free 72' burb next to it. Both left my mind quickly when I realized i had no more money for another project. Today i had to pass the place where it's sitting again, and it's still there stopped to look, and can't seem to get it out of my head it's like it wants to come home with me. How hard is it to bring a fairly rust tub back to life? I'm thinking i should suck it up bring it home, throw the tub in my garage take the rest to the cabin and make it a rust free tub over winter, the worry about drivetrain next summer.
I forgot to mention its sitting on 3/4 ton axles that i couldn't identify. Pictures possibly to come if i decided to make the 20 min drive with a camera.
