a small window of opportunity - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

the_goat · 09-14-2007, 09:57 PM

I sold my Tahoe and my wife gave me the ok to get a blazer. I don't know how long this will last so please keep an eye out for a 1st gens and let me know. I can only spend around 4000 and it needs to be a solid driver. I know this is pretty cheap but I also know they are out there. I can travel if needed.
Thanks

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-14-2007, 10:07 PM

Well not sure if anyone has one on here in that range, but they might,
& Evil Bay, Craigslist, Classic Auto Trader, get busy and it will show up.

the_goat · 09-14-2007, 10:17 PM

There was one on collectorcartrader.com for 3500 with 3/4 ton axles, rebuilt 350 and rebuilt th350, 4 inch lift and tires. All of this is perfect although it did have one problem, it was sold.

the_goat · 09-15-2007, 12:46 PM

Found another one but the entire floor had spray in bedliner and I could see rust all along the edges. It makes me wonder what is growing under the bedliner just waiting to show it's ugly face.

bouncytruck · 09-15-2007, 03:46 PM

board member 2wdblazer is selling his down in FL. I think he is asking $6000. It is a nice looking yellow rig with 38" tires. Ya might send him a PM. He doesn't come to this board much anymore, but he is on CK5.com all the time.

the_goat · 09-15-2007, 06:06 PM

Thanks, I'll check it out.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-15-2007, 08:55 PM

There are also a couple first gen's i the Ck5 classified section currently.

the_goat · 09-15-2007, 09:50 PM

I'm not a member anymore since I sold my blazer but I will check it out. I found one in Colorado Springs that is perfect for me but it's 23 hours away.

Jtrux · 09-16-2007, 01:40 AM

I thought there was a really nice half cab being sold by a ck5 member recently. I can't remember the price though.

the_goat · 09-18-2007, 07:18 PM

Anyone else seen a 1st Gen around their area or on craigslist/any other ad? I've called all of them on collectorcartrader.com and and have ebay covered. Iam actually the highest bidder on a truck on ebay right now that belongs to a member on here but I am sure that I will be out bid.
Thanks

bouncytruck · 09-19-2007, 01:15 AM

Try using crazedlist.org. You can search multiple craigslist sites at once.

CJ5 Convert · 09-19-2007, 02:23 AM

That's Awesome good luck.

A nice one just sold over on CK5 for 6K and it was in Florida too.

Good luck, keep up the search.

bouncytruck · 09-19-2007, 10:52 AM

Up your limit slightly (ok, more than triple it) and buy VT's or LUV's.

ABLAZN · 09-19-2007, 01:04 PM

Does that budget include transporting your Blazer/Jimmy home? Finding one in that price range will be a little work, but add another $700-$1500 to have it transported depending on where you get it from. Even flying somewhere and driving it back will set you back a small fortune with todays gas prices.

Thanks for the props Bouncer, I have been pushing Kurt's to a few on here,
however I am not pushing mine anymore. I do appreciate it, just not trying
to sell her anymore. (Yes she's still 4 sale, I'm just tired of useless pushing)

the_goat · 09-19-2007, 07:09 PM

Those trucks are very, very nice, much nicer than I need or can afford. Maybe in a few years, right now I'm just a poor 2nd Lt with a mortgage, a wife and a week old son.

NTR72GMC · 09-19-2007, 07:32 PM

Are You Only Looking For A 4wd?

the_goat · 09-19-2007, 07:53 PM

No, either a 4wd or a 2wd but for the money I figured that I would get laughed off of the forum if I put that I wanted a 2wd for 4500. a 2wd would be great. I already have some parts for it.

bouncytruck · 09-20-2007, 01:26 AM

NTR72GMC, are you holding out on us? Ya got a line on a nice 2wd for $4,500?

There are usually some decent Blazers for sale in the Seattle area. I think there are two or three on seattle.craigslist.org right now. Shipping would probably eat $1,000 of your budget though.

bouncytruck · 09-20-2007, 10:57 AM

NTR72GMC · 09-20-2007, 11:54 AM

THERE WAS ONE A 2WD ON HERE FOR $4000 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT SOLDhttp://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...ct=1799&cat=12
