Heck, I haven’t even had a chance to give it a good look over yet as I just got it Sunday afternoon, parked the trailer and had to get things ready for Sunday Family dinner then left town Monday morning on business.

Check out the CL add before he takes it down. I am surprised it is still up. Its got a pretty good dent in the LH quarter panel but still worth $400

Man,you really beat him down. Maybe he wants to sell it again to get his other $200 . I would not have been able to resist that one. Buy now and figure it out later is my motto. So,where's the fuel injection,laying in the back? Just the transmission & transfer case combo is worth more than $400. If you want a sticker or two for a tool box,or whatever,I'll send it/them. These diesels may not be the king of the hiway,but it's still pretty neat to have such a thing. Especially now that they're older and you only ever saw but so many...ever. It's a classic big tire 4wd that is right for today's needs. My buddy first made me stickers that are about 18" tall! I could do the huge rear window graphic thing with them...not my style. I'm thinking to get some steel,put a bend on one edge,powdercoat it black,put sticker on,and clear it under for a cool wall mounted sign for the shop.
Those tops really make the truck. I had the red '90 Blazer (350/4spd) that I planned to use the axles,springs,and tires on. I ordered a black STC soft top for it as my first step. They went under with my money. I git disgusted and ended up selling that one. But,I didn't stay away from K/5s for long! They are still really growing on me. I'd like to buy a few up for the future. They're like land...don't make anymore.
