I would say $50 per fender, 100 for a hood, $70 for radiator, unkn rad supports are the best prices (craigslist) i have seen. i would go for it. from a salvage yard that is still a good price. hell thats almost everything you need. truck and all new parts for $550 AND you will pay off your LOAN?!? I hate you

enjoy it though

Insurance goes of NADA values, not market prices. If they did market prices, they could never give you an accurate premium as prices would constantly be changing...not just dropping over time with depreciation tables.. Its too bad though...all we'd have to do is buddy up with a dealership, list a blazer at $15k, and all wreck our trucks

i agree wlorton.

when i bought my 'Burb in '07, the appraiser was all gaa-gaa over how clean it was. said he was really impressed with how there wasn't a speck of rust anywhere. so what does he value it @? $7K, taxes in. he said "the market in Sounthern Ontario sustained his value, and there was none that was even close to the condition of mine.". the truck only had 130,148 miles on it, was from Arkansas, and had every available option on it, everything in Ontario (@ that time) wasn't even in the same leauge, and was going for $4-$6K in "decent" condition.
my point is, the local market is gonna screw you if your ride is miles above the rest.

X2 ABN31B. as long as the rad is clean inside & out, i'd go for it. hell, even if the rad is kinda crusty (and part of the "package" deal) it'd be worth it for the rest of the parts.

Its 65 per fender...
75 for a hood
50 for rad
50 for rad support
something like 30 for lights (idk if its per light... probably)

But this pull and save received most of the clunkers from the Peoria Area.... and From the road... there are quite a few 4 door bravadas, jimmys, and blazers...

Sounds like a nice deal to me. Same color by chance?

I have a pair of stock turn signals if you can't get them thrown in the deal pm me.

A two door would be sweet. I love mine. That is a nice price on it too.

that's quite the change from the 4 doors you know. getting in & out of the back seat wasn't fun (not for my size of frame anyways).

2dr FTW!
...if you don't carry more then one passenger that often it's definitely worth it. The 2dr's look way better IMO.
