THIS IS A 1985 CHEVROLET K-BLAZER WITH A 6.2 LITER DIESEL 4WD WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT NEED MUCH MECHANICALLY, THE VEHICLE STARTS, RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BLAZER TO RESTORE THIS VEHICLE NEEDS VERY LITTLE TO BE IN TOP NOTCH SHAPE. THE BODY HAS ALMOST NO DENTS OR DINGS, IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE BESIDES THE SURFACE RUST, THE ONLY PLACE WITH ANY THING OTHER THAN SURFACE RUST IS ABOVE THE PASSENGER A PILLAR, I GOT A QUOTE FROM A LOCAL BODY SHOP $750.00 WOULD COMPLETE ALL RUST REPAIRS AND PRIME THE BODY. THE BACK CHEVROLET CHROME PANEL ON THE TAILGATE HAS A DING THAT A NEW PANEL WILL TAKE CARE OF WITH NO BODY WORK. AS FAR AS THE HISTORY GOES ON PAPER I'M THE 2ND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 1985 AND TRADED IT IN IN 1991 TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO HELD THE VEHICLE AS DEALER INVENTORY UNTIL FEBRUARY 2010 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. DURING THE DEALERS OWNERSHIP THE DEALERSHIP OWNERS SON DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS UP UNTIL ABOUT 6 YRS AGO WHEN THE WATER PUMP STARTED LEAKING AND THE VEHICLE GOT PARKED UNDER A TREE AT THE BACK OF THIER LOT (HENCE THE SURFACE RUST). I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND INSTALLED A WATER PUMP AND NEW BATTERIES THEN CHANGED THE OIL AND STARTED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS A BRAND NEW 6" ROUGH COUNTRY SUSPENSION LIFT INSTALLED WITH NEW SHOCKS AND STEERING LINKAGE (COST $900). THE TIRES ARE OK, THEY ARE COOPER DISCOVERER 35X12.50R15 WITH ABOUT 15% OF THE TREAD LEFT. I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT HOW MUCH ACTUALLY WORKS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WINDOW WORKS FINE UP AND DOWN, THE PASS WINDOW WORKS WITH HELP UP AND DOWN AND THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW WORKS DOWN AND UP (MAY NEED HELP UP BUT NOT EVERY TIME). THE HEATER/HVAC SYSTEM FUNCTIONS BOTH THE BLOWER WORKS AS WELL AS THE HEATER AND MODE (DEFROST/FACE/FLOOR) ALTHOUGH THE AC DOES NOT COOL IT MAY NOT TAKE MUCH MORE THAN A RECHARGE. THE CRUISE DOES NOT WORK. THE WIPERS WORK ON LOW AND HIGH BUT THE DELAY DOES NOT WORK. THE STEERING IS TRUE, ALMOST NO SLACK AND DOES NOT PULL, THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER BUT WOULD PROBABLY STRAIGHTEN OUT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE IS NO WATER LEAKING INTO VEHICLE, IT HAS RAINED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION AND EVERYTHING HAS STAYED DRY. THE FACTORY RADIO WORKS AS WELL AS THE FACTORY ANALOG CLOCK IN THE DASH. THE DASH PAD HAS CRACKS BUT NONE OF THE VINYL COVERS OR DOOR PANELS HAVE MUCH IF ANY AGE DAMAGE AND ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE SEATS NEED TO BE RECOVERED BUT ARE IN OK SHAPE ESPECIALLY THE BACK SEAT. THE SEAT BELTS WORK AS WELL AS THE PASS FRONT SEAT EASY ENTRY. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND HAVE YET TO HAVE A PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE STARTS EVERY TIME AND RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP IS THE FUEL TANK HAS STARTED TO LEAK AND WILL BE REPLACED BY AUCTION END WITH A NEW TANK. THE 4WD IS AUTO LOCKING HUBS AND WORKS. ALSO HAS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHICH ALL WORKS GREAT. I REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT KEEPING THIS ONE FOR MYSELF AND RESTORING THAT IS WHY I PUT THE LIFT ON IT BUT I JUST HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AT THIS TIME. I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BLAZER, IF YOU WANT A GOOD ONE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS IS IT, JUST CHECK MY FEEDBACK. I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW ABOUT THIS TRUCK. FOR SOME REASON AUTO CHECK SHOWS A LEIN ON THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NONE, THE TITLE IS CLEAR AND IN HAND. FORGOT TO MENTION AS FAR AS THE UNDERCARRIAGE GOES THERE IS ALMOST NO RUST / THE FLOOR PANS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND SO ARE ALL THE ROCKER PANELS OTHER THAN A LIGHT COAT OF DIRT THERE ARE NO BIG CLODS OF MUD WHERE THIS TRUCK SPENT A BUNCH OF TIME OFF ROAD, IT WAS MAINLY USED TO HAUL JET SKIS AROUND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP OWNERS SON. ALSO THE HAZY LOOK ON THE PAINT IS JUST DIRT, I HAVEN'T WASHED THE TRUCK, I WILL TRY TO WASH IT SO YOU CAN SEE HOW GOOD THE PAINT LOOKS UNDER THE DIRT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES FROM INSIDE THE BACK WINDOW YOU CAN SEE THE SAME HAZE ON THE SIDE WINDOWS. IN A FEW PLACES I WIPED IT OFF AND YOU CAN SEE THEM IN THE PICTURES THE PAINT IS ACTUALLY IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THE TRUCK IS JUST DIRTY FROM SITTING UNDER THE TREE FOR SO MANY YEARS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK, I WILL TRY TO RESPOND WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO, I CHECK MY EMAIL PRETTY OFTEN SO I SHOULD GET BACK TO YOU RIGHT AWAY. THANKS FOR LOOKINGOn Apr-24-10 at 08:11:46 PDT, seller added the following information: Thought I would let everyone know that I discovered a spot of rust I did not notice earlier. There is a spot on the driver floor pan right against the front outside corner, it is about 1.5" wide and about 3" long. It was blending in with the dirt and I did not see it before. The pass front floor pan has no rust, but because I missed that I decided to perform a little more thorough check on the undercarraige and really didn't find anything else worth mentioning. There are two to three very small spots of surface rust on the underside, which I think you would find far more of on most 25 year old trucks. All in all the undercarriage is in much better shape than you would find most of these trucks in. On Apr-24-10 at 14:34:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Just wanted to assure everyone the rust on the body is nothing more than surface rust, all should be able to sanded down with ease. The only spot of rust through the body is clearly in the picture of the a pillar above the pass door. The rust is mainly on the hood, there are some small places on the rest of the truck, most can be seen in the pictures, but all of it is surface rust only. It is all due to sitting under a tree for so many years.
