Out here we had plenty of blazers before cfc, but those were mostly the results of wrecks and accidents, not handouts.

at the harry's you pull it in hazelton there was a bunch of those. I actually got my rear glass from a 2001 cash for clunkers jimmy. It was sad because it probably had really nice leather the paint job was flawless untill the junker guys had their way with it. I don't understand why they made the dealerships ruin the engines

Is that the U pull it Hazelton PA.? If so, that place was cheap! Had to get a Jeep transfer case there for a friend once. First trail of the morning at Paragon and he cracks the transfer case on a monster rock.

there are hardly any junkyard 4x4 s-series with any desirable parts in nebraska, especially the zr2 or xtreme.

most of them are high mileage, or a run of the mill standard blazer, nothing special. all open axle 3.42 gears, saggy suspension.
every now and then a vigilant parts hunter such as myself will find something worth taking parts off of.

I would like to find a dark blue Diamond edition jimmy with a salvage title that i could put a Vortec 350 in with a 6 inch lift & 33's on. that would be sooo badass.

Any one wanna look out for me for 98+ charcoal leather door panels for a 4-door. Not a lot of Blazers and or pick-pulls around here. I want them but I dont wanna pay $100 a panel and a crazy shipping charge.

Here there was a pull and save that had been overloaded with the vehicles. They had to fill the lot next to them, and from the road you could see 10+ blazers, some of them with amazing paint jobs... also the first place I saw the running boards. What makes me angry is that sure, they are killing these engines and what not, but if EVERYONE doesnt participate, then all of us driving our blazers... are just burning the same fuel.. lol...

Do you guys know if there are places that will part with the whole vehicles? I think that buying a shell or two would be helpful in the long run....
