Zr2 rear axle swap with heavy duty springs
Very nice trailblazer interior
Comes with everything to swap to nv3500 manual transmission
Optima red top
rear mount tire carrier
performance rear brakes
and plenty of other parts

Opinions appreciated

 

Sounds like a mechanic special, honestly. The ingredients are there for a solid ride but it sounds like the engine and trans gotta be replaced or rebuilt and that is going to easily cost more than the actual worth of the truck. I mean, it runs so there's that.

If you part it out, I'd be interested particularly in the rear tire carrier and the tailgate glass hinges and door panels.

 

Thats kinda what i was thinking, still a daily driver but a sketchy one. I already have the Trans but motor at least needs a top end rebuild. I would finish it but it just seems to break more every time i touch it. Will let u know if i part it out

 

Let me know. I can probably pick up those items from Orlando next week since I'm moving if you do.
