Had these cell phone pics sent to me and wondering what you guys think the K5 Blazer might be worth. It needs a lot of work for sure.

IF I bought it... the goal would be to build an LS daily driver. Nothing crazy, just dependable and comfortable.

Lot of work yes, but how much rust? Curtis you can get completely rebuilt blazers in the 20k range so if it needs a lot of body panels I would keep looking. If it's clean (other then apart) then anywhere from 5-10k??

I had one years ago, my grandmother bought it new 69, it was the last one the dealer had so she had to take it with the plow!! :confused59: and yes she would plow her drive way with it!! By the time I got ahold of it not much was left.

I want one again real bad as a daily as well, just a stock 6.0 and an auto trans perfect!!

Let me know if you pass on this one?:peepwall:

Sounds like Grandma made good use of the extra options! Smart woman.

You and I have the same idea. Simple and clean build that would be a lot of fun as a driver. I really like my F-150 Platinum, but I'm finding that it just doesn't fit my wants for some reason.

If I do pass, I'll let you know. Maybe I can get some better pictures if you decided you're interested.

E-mail me some pictures/details and let me know what you're wanting for it. Who knows...

We are going to need to move you into a custom with a 10 car garage. :flag2:

Heck I'd be happy with just a bigger garage than I have right now. Hard enough to get two cars in it.

95% of the Vegas track houses have 30x20 3 car garages. (Within 3%) I don't know why they still build houses that won't fit a full size truck. Is beyond me...

It's beyond me to. One would think that at least ONE builder would catch on and build a bigger garage or at least offer it as an option. Probably up their sales.

My idea of a proper garage is it will fit 2 crew cab duallys with doors open and room to walk around them both.
