That thing doesnt look that bad. If you got it you would have a chance to bond with it while you did all the sheet metal replacement. Its deffinately a Krebs price too.
I know it is spring break, but please limit your crack intake to a puff or two a day.Quote:

On the way there I took a street I had never taken, and saw a bunch of older trucks and thought, this is where I'm going to find one, a place like this.
So went to the recycler traded in my cans and saw that sweet ranger and on the way home I took different back streets because of inspirational old truck sitings on the way there. Low and behold I see a ****box in the back of a field at an autobody place. Stop in and talk to the owner, says he's going to keep it and restore it someday. I was dissapointed until I saw it. That thing had rust I'd never seen rust on a vehicle.
Oh well the owner of the shop was cool.
The point of this story is the 4 door ranger was cool.
has anyone seen the thing sitting over by the bait shop on HW 21? I just caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye a week ago, but it looks like some kinda really hacked up mini truck with about 2 foot of lift
I saw a 6 door version of those bigass Internaional truck that Union Pacific uses. I dont know what its purpose was but they were replacing the tracks behind my shop while I was home and the truck looked neat.

It's a start...

edit: nevermind, i searched and didnt look at the date
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457317 its a 77 and im not sure where its at is this what you want?
looks like its in cali
It's a 77 and if I'm correct I think those are some of the ugliest K5's.
I'm looking for a 69-72.
aight ill keep my eye out
76-86 are the less desireable blazers. The 69-72 are the first gen body style, which is what Doug is looking for. 73-75 were the newew boxy body style but still had the fully removable top. In 76 they switched to the half removable top. In 87 the came out with fuel injection so the 76-86 ones dont really have anything special about them.
Yeah, those mid to late 70's ones have a funky looking front end, but I do like them for the full removable top. If I was going to build a blazer and couldn't find a first generation, I would take one of those late 70's ones and replace the front clip with the front clip from a 91 burb or blazer. Full removable top and a little less ugly
seems like everone these days that has that style truck converts to the newer front. I kinda like the early front(with billet insert) with the full length hood.Quote:

The odd part was he felt the same way, and was in the process of finding a newer front end when he gave the truck to his dad and bought a superduty.Quote:

ahh jimmy two times :flipoff2:
I can honestly say I've only seen a few chevy's from those years that I've liked. One was the one cajun built, another is that orange and white one that won TTC a few years ago, and a heavily abused red one on 38s that you used to see in pics from the hammers in california

"Late 70's" blazers did not have full removable tops. See my post above. The 70's grill is my second favorite, after the 89-91 of course, they look more "truckish" than the 81-88. The 81-88 grills are straight up ugly (thats why pigpen doesnt have one :flipoff2: ).Quote:

I'm in the process, already sent an email...
Too justify this to myself it's got to cost around a $1000 total. This includes a freon charge, gas to get there and back, and any other little things that it might take.
It does look like I could spend a weekend getting it running, and then another weekend getting the AC, etc... going and have a decent daily driver.
I wouldn't mess with the axles, just leave it like it is and drive it.
