Blazer for N2TRUX,... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 09-21-2008, 09:17 PM

Ken,... I saw this one. Thought is would look good parked next to the '77. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rare-...QQcmdZViewItem

Low84 · 09-21-2008, 09:20 PM

Very nice blazer!

**N2TRUX** · 09-21-2008, 09:55 PM

Thanks! Go ahead and dangle a carrot in fron of the donkey.

Actually he has ran that several times. His asking price is getting closer to what the market will net. I would love to own it at a decent price.

Then all I would need is a SWB Crewcab to tow them with...

87Lowrider · 09-21-2008, 10:03 PM

I thought lolife99 was offering to buy that for you Ken.

abebummy26 · 09-21-2008, 11:07 PM

Looks to me like it was put together from a bunch of different trucks/ blazers.

f.monroe · 09-21-2008, 11:38 PM

I have noticed it on ebay several times also . I like the truck . I like a cowl hood on a Blazer or a Crewcab . Not so much on reg cabs but the hood flows well with the long roof . It looks like it would be a fun truck to own . It does look like it would go well with Kens Cheyenne . I wonder what Kens Blazer is going to look like after the 73/74 front end conversion ?

I am guessing the RARE part is that the VIN states it to be a GMC Jimmy with a 350 not a Chevy Blazer with a 454 in it.

It is listed a a Chevy, but is a GMC badged as a Chevy
Listed as a Blazer but it is a Jimmy badged as a Blazer.
Listed as 454 powered, but BBC's weren't availible on Blazer/Jimmys,
Listed with a new 700R4, but they were never offered on any 2WD Blazers- I am nitpicking here..

And all this came from the factory...
Not to mention the 87-91 seats and console.... I digress...

Don't get me wrong, It IS a nice truck I have seen it too, but he should be listing more of this info in the ad.

abebummy26 · 09-22-2008, 05:38 PM

Non 77 trim as well

**Captkaos** · 09-22-2008, 05:40 PM

He got the year right as a 1978, so it has the correct trim...

abebummy26 · 09-22-2008, 06:22 PM

oops doh!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 09-22-2008, 07:44 PM

Wow nice looking Blazer I was wondering why he did n't post more info in his add as well? I would n't mind owning it at all.

**N2TRUX** · 09-22-2008, 09:52 PM

The auction was closed so it looks like he got a buyer.

72BlckButy · 09-23-2008, 08:20 AM

That's a great looking Blazer.

Looking at the ad, it doesn't really look like it is supposed to be a restoration. There is a lot of things on that one I would do if I was to build (uh, finish) another Blazer. On my 77, I had a cowl hood, later model seats, 700R4 (out of an 82 2wd Blazer), and a roof clip from a 73 Blazer. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

**Captkaos** · 09-23-2008, 10:56 AM

This is what is misleading in my opinion:
"This Blazer is Extremely Rare and Very Hard to Find in this shape with these factory options"

A) it isn't a Chevy Blazer it is a GMC Jimmy
b) no K5 was ever offered with a BBC from the factory.

So the factory motor is long gone along with the factory GMC emblems and grill and tailgate script.

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice Jimmy, and I have one in my garage that I have a 89 interior that is going in it. It also has a TPI conversion and soon to have a remote turbo installed. I think the guy is just confused on what he has and is basing it on what he was told and what he sees...

i e-mailed him, still got it and taking offers over 13k

PickWick · 09-29-2008, 11:36 AM
