meet olive
My "new" 1971 swb. Thank you whoever posted her for sale on here thru craigslist several months back. Got the owner down to a very reasonable price. Basically been in a garage since 1974 (purchased from nephew of deceased original owner). Has 46,000 original miles and almost no rust. She led a rough life at the start, several scratches on the paint and I removed atleast 10 pounds of Arkansas dirt from the frame. Now has HEI, brake master cylinder, and a new edlebrock carb. Runs like new now!
I have a stage 1 porterbuilt front from a previous project to install. Fixing to purchase a stage II rear setup and run schrader valves for now. In the process of ordering a new fuel cell for the rear and a hidden receiver hitch. I want to install a set of 20 inch rims, can't decide on ttII or intro vintage. |

Re: meet olive
Sweet find! Starting with a very nice truck, you'll be able to really enjoy it! Can I ask what happened with your Blazer. I have been keeping tabs on it in the for sale section hoping I could poop the $$ to buy it, I'd love to have a blazer but it was cheaper to buy and build a truck. (Well, until the build got out of hand!
 ) Anyway, congrats on the new ride!
