Should I trade? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

justpball · 12-23-2009, 04:22 PM

I have been offered a trade I dont think i can turn down... I have this suburban that I have less then 2500.00 in and some one is offering me a nice dually and a full convertible K5 for, I think i am going to have to trade... here are the pics.

texasfunk · 12-23-2009, 04:29 PM

oh wow. if it were me id maybe go with it, depending on what oyour suburban is worth to you, and i love the way your burb looks, if you do, trade your bumbers wheels, headlight buckets and grille em out with the blazer!

justpball · 12-23-2009, 04:32 PM

LOL i dont think he will let me trade the parts out...LOL

lol, too bad, id tell him the wheels were borrowed

but otherwise its a very interesting trade, itd get me thinking hard....

justpball · 12-23-2009, 04:48 PM

i like the 22 rockstars so that would not bother me....

68Timber · 12-23-2009, 04:49 PM

They look good in the pictures, what's the catch? Rust or non-running or... ? As much as I like your truck I'd do the trade if those two are as solid as they look.

justpball · 12-23-2009, 04:53 PM

the dually has 51000 original miles and the k5 he said the motor is new, and said there is no rust in either one... they are from north texas...

*BGRAFX* · 12-23-2009, 04:53 PM

Man that's a tough one. Such a kick ass Suburban. but hard to pass up 2 for the price of 1 deal. You could sell one and keep one or keep both and customize one and DD the other. If it were me I couldn't trade for the blazer because of my kids. but I'm looking for a crewcab.

In that case I'd trade. I like Suburbans and Blazers and crewcabs and have had a few of each. A two-for-one deal sounds sweet.

I am biased, I'd really like a 73-87 3/4 ton 4x4 crew cab.

str8axle55 · 12-23-2009, 08:03 PM

Looks like a deal to me. You could make your money back plus if you sell either one.

bigblazerboy · 12-23-2009, 08:03 PM

sounds like a good deal to me. burb is real nice though but i do love blazers more than a burb. dually looks pretty sweet with the flames also. up to you though

cochino12 · 12-23-2009, 09:00 PM

Your burb is just plain awesome!! that being said if it were me I would be saying good bye burb and hello to a couple of new trucks. I assume since you did the body & paint on the burb and you can do it again to something else, do and dont look back. Burbs are VERY easy to find and nice crew cabs and especially full top blazers are not easy to come by. Good luck with it, when do you need to decide?

justpball · 12-23-2009, 09:53 PM

i think you are right, nice crews and nice 2wd full converts are much harder to come by...i need to decide by Friday.

**texassquarebodies** · 12-23-2009, 10:57 PM

Jump on that. You can always get another burb. Two for one. You could sell one fix the other one up. Hell, I would keep both. Im a dually guy though. What model is the dually?

OARNGESI · 12-24-2009, 02:16 AM

Its hard to believe you only got 2500 in that burb you must be a crazy bargain shopper thats a really hard trade a full convt 2wd blazer is cool too good luck with either path you take

**lolife99** · 12-24-2009, 02:50 AM

Trade and work your magic on these two!

justpball · 12-24-2009, 11:00 AM

its a 87 so it is FI 454, only bad is it is 4sd...

I bought the burb for 500.00 and did trade out for almost all the parts and for my buddy to spray it. So i got time in it but I dont count that because I love doing it...LOL

72BlckButy · 12-24-2009, 04:10 PM

Trade it and don't look back...

Keep us posted on your decision.

tvblazer78 · 12-26-2009, 08:11 PM

I like your burb a lot, but you have to trade for that. They both look cool, but you could make them look a lot cool and by looking at the burb you will.

68Timber · 12-26-2009, 08:23 PM

You're interested in the trade but you haven't mentioned which one you really want or if it's the combination of the two that appeals to you. Which is it?

thump16 · 12-26-2009, 08:42 PM

DO it!!!!1

Your burb is bad AZZ but blazer and a dually for what you got in the burb is a steal. Good luck with the trade and post pics.

Conundrum · 12-26-2009, 10:23 PM

I may be mistaken, but it looks like both the Blazer and the dually have kmc rockstar wheels on them.

Your burb does looks sweet, but if it were me it would have been very hard for me to say OK as soon as the other guy offered the trade.

menace121978 · 12-27-2009, 08:16 AM

well??

your burb is the baddest on here! with that said, i'd have traded on the spot. the full convert blaze looks to be worth twice as much as you have into the burb.
