Blazer Beater

[bronc'nBK]

my friend has an 80something blazer, he says it has a 2.8 V6, 4 spd, 2wd. he said he will sell it to me for $100. now, should i buy it, stick on the 235/75 MT's that we have layin around, weld the rear, sawzall, then wheel it til it dies, or pass up the offer?

It's 2DW and not much there to resale uless the body and all is in good condition. But if you have the place, I suppose you could have $100 worth of fun out of it. Junk Yard will pay $50 for it once it's trashed

 

[pacodiablo]

Even with the 2.8, if it runs and drives I'd take it. If it has some decent parts to sell after you kill it, that is even better.

if i were to part it out, it would have a 10 bolt rear, correct? and the kid says it has a reman 2.8 with like 40K miles. worth anything? my family has a cabin up in surry county, so im sure i could wheel it like piss up there if i didnt.

It'd probably be the most fun you could have (legally) for a hunder bucks. Heck yea, man go for it! It's great having a truck you don't have to worry about beating up.

 

[rockcity]

but you only have 2WD...

am I missing something?

Do it is real fun!!!

Your talking about a 2.8 backup and get a running start. That thing is weaker than p%ss. I'm not sure you will make it very far and if you do leave it were it dies.

Just beat it to the ground! It's a running truck for a hundred bucks. Just get it and have some fun.

scrap is going for $5.00 a hundred here. S10 Blazer = approx. 3200lbs.
32x5 = $160. Shouldn't have to think too hard about that one.

That's awesome!

So you get to wheel the piss out of it, and when it breaks down, make money off it. Can't get much better than that.

See high how high you can jump it...and get it on video.

 

[bronc'nBK]

planned on doin that general
haha

would it be better to scrap it or part it out when im done trashin it?

 

[bronc'nBK]

well i made a trade. traded my non-running 4 wheeler for the blazer. we are plannin on takin off all the panels basically, today i ripped the bumper and grill off, plan on choppin the doors and removing the back glass. i think i screwed up the starter, but ill worry about that later. ill get pics up tomorrow hopefully.

 

[bronc'nBK]
