I'd say haggle him down a little. It is a good deal, but not a Krebs deal by far. As for the paint I'd say you're correct, we've owned a few obs cheby's and all of them had the paint peel at one point or another.

For that vintage (around 91) I know for a fact that chevy had major issues with making white paint stick. My burban's roof was entirely bare metal when I got it and a 91 C/K series parts truck is white and has paint flaking off in a few places.
yea, my 90 had some paint starting to flake off too
i had to put a new paint job on my 91 burban... plus the two-tone on it was ugly anyways... i painted the thing purple
I guess I missed another memo....why do you want this thing for a dd? :confused2 I thought you were wanting another complete blazer because you wanted to swap your drivetrain into it since your current blazer frame is trashed? What's wrong with the F150 for a dd, and why would a blazer be better? I don't think it'll get much better gas mileage, it can't have much more of a towing capacity...
blazer mor fun than f150
Cost about $1500 probably to make that blazer daily drivable including purchase cost and fuel to pick up. f150 worth about $4500. Hide $3000 surplus from wife and spend on corn.
Blazer = $1000ish investmentQuote:

Therefore the truck has little utility and this blazer would accomplish the task of what I need for just fine. I'm just trying to take the utilitarian approach to this situation. I can do a line drawing analysis if needed.
now if someone would bite at my trailer wanted ad I'd be set!
So you're going to get a different dd...sell the ford...then build something else with the price difference...
I guess it makes some sense, by selling the ford (something you don't want) you would be able to buy/build two vehicles that you do want. Insurance is probably cheaper on the blazer, but are you going to lose in fuel mileage?
I tried this idea a couple years ago, so I can't say you're totally crazy. I wanted to get a little S-10 or Ranger or some little pickup that got better gas mileage than my ford, sell the ford, then put the money toward the FJ. But after I figured in buying the pickup, fixing problems that i didn't know about when I bought it, hassleing with getting the money I wanted for the ford, paying taxes, etc., i just figured this kind of switcheroo wasn't worth it.
This truck is pretty darn cheap, you've already got an engine/trans combo you know will work, plus other spare parts you can rob from your current blazer, so maybe it'll work for you. :)
Are you still looking for a 69-72 blazer?
yesQuote:

Same. Although my TA is cool so its not horrible.
My TA is horrible. He exagerates varying the pitch of his voice which is very hard to describe. He takes 10 minutes explaining something that could be explained in 10 seconds. I can't even explain it. I feel rage against this person, and if you know me well, that is quite an accomplishment.Quote:
