Well, the time has come to put my Blazer on the market. I have been working on this thing since spring in my very limited spare time and I am finally done. Or atleast I am done working on it. I am ready to focus on one of my other projects.
I wanted to check here first and make sure my idea of value isn't off. I know I can be proud of my stuff sometimes. And honestly, I wanted to make sure everybody knows it's available.
Mods, I think I am allowed to do this here, but please remove if I have broken any rules.
It's a very stock, clean, 82 Silverado 2wd 305/700r4 with 127,000 original miles. I think it is a great original color combo. That's Light Bronze Metallic on white, with tan (saddle?) interior. A/C, Tilt, Cruise, Electric windows and doorlocks, everything works as it should (except the clock only works sometimes, and the voltage meter reads low--Oh, and the heater, now). The paint seemed fairly new when I bought it 1 1/2 years ago. For some reason they did not repaint the bottom white section??. It's got a few flaws and scratches here and there, but overall it looks very nice and shiney. It runs and drives great, nice and tight. Oh, it's a little loud for my taste, it has a flowmaster and is dumped before the axle. Good tires with staggered 8" and 10" rally wheels. A JVC cd player with new Boston Accustic 6x9s. It is certainly not perfect, but a darn good driver. It was my daily driver since I bought it, until...
I blew a head gasket months ago. So, went through everything north of there. It's got brand new: head gaskets, manifold gaskets, timing set and gasket, valve seals, plugs, intake gasket, thermostat, waterpump, valve cover gaskets, rebuilt quadrajet, lots of new vaccum lines and hoses. I tried to clean everything up and painted a few things while I was there. Along with fairly new: alternator, battery, cap, rotor, wires, blower motor, brake pads, shoes, and master cylinder and booster. Shortly after I bought it, chasing a water-in-floorboard problem, I went through the a/c box, cleaned everything out, resealed everything, replaced heater core while I was there. Pulled the carpet and seats, cleaned everything, and put dynomat in the front half of the cab. Oh, the transmission was supposedly rebuilt six months before I purchased it. I have been driving it the last few weeks and have put about 1000 miles on it, since I put it back together. It is running better than ever now, and should for a long time.
Issues:
It has a sagging headliner
On about my third drive after getting it all back together, the one year old heater core gave out. I just bypassed it for the time being. I was hoping I would be able to sell it without messing with it.
It also has a very minor oil leak. It leaves about a 1.5" drop overnight--it could be oil pan, or rear main seal. It doesn't show on the dipstick yet.
And, the driver's side front tire is showing extra wear toward the inside, so it could use an alignment, was planning on doing that after I dropped it.
And finally, refering back to the water in floorboard problem, there is a small hole in the passenger side rocker. It is not active, the problem has been stopped, treated and coated(See last pic). There was no damage to the floorboard.
Oh and that is a dash cap/cover not the original pad.
I took all these pics today. Ignore the rallies in the back. And I do have the spare and bracket and stuff, along with original 82 grill, push guards, and chrome window vents.
I think that is everything. What do you think it is worth?
