Hey everyone. It saddens me greatly to write this post. I need to get back to school and get a real job, a career. I\'m tired of working my ass off for the bottom of the barrel. Because my credit sucks and I don\'t have money to throw around besides, I am very seriously thinking about selling the truck and parts which I\'ve put aside every little penny I could spare to save for so I can pay for school. Anyways, I really don\'t wanna see this thing go, it is my baby, and I\'ve put alot of thought and hard work into it. But I wanted to give all you guys a heads up that I might be selling it. I would prefer to get rid of it all in one shot, it would make a nice project for somebody to finish.....alot of the work is done, I have almost all the parts to finish the job (mostly just missing misc brackets and things like that). However, for the right price, I would be willing to sell individual parts. Anyways, Here is a list of what all I have. It is an 89 S15 Jimmy w/ 4x4, and came equipped witha 4.3 TBI and a 700R4 Automatic. As far as what is done to the truck, the engine and tranny were removed, so was pretty much everything on the front end. I didn\'t want it to be an automatic, so I ripped out all the automatic components (all the linkages, the steering column, ect..) and installed a clutch pedal. I removed the gas tank to replace some of the lines. I also removed all of the steering components to clean up, sand down, and paint. Thats all the work I can think that I have done to the truck itself. As far as parts, There are probably too many to list, but I\'ll list the major ones.

-The Engine....its a 350 4 bolt main from a chevy fullsize truck. I had it professionally rebuilt, bored .030 over, scat crank, KB Hyperutectic pistons, Pro topline vortec heads, Comp cam for computer controlled vehicles (don\'t have the cam # on me right now, I\'m at work) A GM Performance Parts Intake for using TBI and EGR with Vortec heads. I also have a TBI unit bored out to 50mm and the intake was bored out to match that.

-Transmission, its a NV3500 from a 91 Chevy S10 with 4x4....I was able to verify that it does work and it has around 50K on it

-Edelbrock IAS Shocks, all 4

-High flow Fuel Pump for the bigger TBI unit

-Hedman Headers for the S10 conversion w/ 4x4

-All the mounts for 4x4 and the 4x4 oil pan (which are already installed on the engine of course)

-A Radiator support from a 92 Blazer (so you can use the brand new one piece grille I have to go with it)

-A brand new corvette radiator

-Flex-a-Lite reverse roation flex fan

-Posi from a 94 Camaro (you will need a ring gear spacer to make it work with the 3.42 gears I have in the truck)



Thats all the major stuff (I THINK) but there are a bunch more odds and ends for sure that aren\'t worth mentioning

Like I said, I DON\'T KNOW FOR SURE IF I\'M SELLING OR NOT YET! But I wanted to let you guys know, see if anybody out there would be interrested and what kind of offers I would get. If anybody IS seriously interrested,or if you have any other questions, send me a PM or email me at ne0logic@yahoo.com. Thanks guys.

I\'ll try to get some pix this weekend, If I do end up selling and parting out, I\'d be willing to take the headers off, but I\'d like to leave the intake on to keep the rest of the motor complete. The tires are bald, that was one of the things I was planning on buying, the wheels are the standard Mag wheel from that time period and are in pretty good shape.

I must assume it the same blazer listed in your pics???

It appers the body is decent? I may be interested in the body. Is all the ac compents still avalible/with the truck?

The body on mine has seen better days even after being repaired and repainted a few times!

Not interested in te extra pieces like rad, shocks engine....etc. Just body - rolling on frame would make it easier to move though.

Space.

Yup, same one as in the pics. It is still in pretty decent shape except the panels underneath the doors (both sides) are a little bit rotted out. But aside from that, its in pretty good shape. The Frame also is in good shape except for the passenger side front bumper bracket is a little mishapen (drove into the back of an F150 a while back before I took it off the road) I beat it back to the point where the bumper will sit the way it\'s supposed to, level and straight. Was planning on just ordering a new one from LMC Truck but never got around to it.
