New Arizona Member - Just picked up my first Blazer
Just picked up my first S-10 Blazer. 1999 ZR2.
I've found this forum extremely helpful, so far found all the answers to my questions except for where to get some interior parts I would like to replace, but I'm assuming most of those will end up being from bone yards and ebay. I have the tan interior in mine with cloth seats. Mostly looking for replacement speaker grills, rear interior panels and stuff.
Looks like she's going to need quite a bit of over due attention, and I'm not sure if I overpaid at $2900 or not, but I love it!

So a friend at work today told me that a friend of his just got a '99 ZR2 with 74,000 miles/120,000km! It's been sitting for a few years (obviously) & it has a few front end issues, ball joints, maybe pitman &/or idler, alignment etc. The parking brake is seized & minor surface spots of rust on the rockers near the fenders & quarters etc. It's completely stock as well. He got this gem for 
$9000 Canadian!
Right now, today that's $9,040.68 USD.

Lol thanks pettyfog & as for the OP (original post) Welcome & for stock parts not many are better than www.rockauto.com. JC Penny is another that's really fair & has lots of parts.

Hi Arizona, I got a nice 5 day taste of your state a few years ago, from Pheonix to Sedona.. Beautiful!!
And since i am a full-size Blazer nut, would love to tour the boneyards to find all those rust-free shells and parts.
cheers, Jim

Thanks guys, I don't feel so bad about the price now. It has 150k on the clock, the engine bay looks perfectly clean. I'll take some pictures of it this weekend and post em for everyone to peek at. It has zero rust and even the tranny and transfer case are perfectly clean. Definitely needs some new tires, alignment and possibly bushing. I'll try tires and alignment first, I know it's off. Its' all over the road. highway at about 75 is when it's the worst, it just wanders back and forth like a drunk went for a spin.
