It wasn't needed but I brought it home anyways
I recently picked up this 71, very clean for around here had a camper in it for most it's life. Has typical rocker holes and a dent in front fender, but has the nicest tailgate I've ever seen. I did a little trading for it so it wouldn't be cut up and put on a Dodge chassis. Truck has 42k miles.

Re: It wasn't needed but I brought it home anyways
Looks like a good score. Not many left like that one around here.

Re: It wasn't needed but I brought it home anyways
Gotta love how many guys buy the clean ones to hack up beyond ever being put back, while the guys interested in owning a nice, relatively stock one have to scrounge among trucks that are near part-out condition. Nice score.

I caught a lot of flack when I bought my 72' 2wd Blazer, mostly from the stock guys. They were choked that I would modify such a nice truck and that if it was theirs they wouldn't do that. Funny thing is that the one who complained the most actually and first dibs, and wouldn't pay what the P.O. wanted. I did. He still whines every time I see him at a cruise night.

Re: It wasn't needed but I brought it home anyways
It needed saving, it needed love, and it needed a home!
It was most definitely "needed"!!
