Heck you outta see my 87, clear is peeling all over the place and it has a crack in the dash.
I've replaced the door panels then I smoothed and painted them so they look good. The front seats were worn out but those got tossed in the shed for cavy seats.
I owned a ford once when I was 12. Paid $400 for it, drove it about a week, traded it for a 77 GMC with a mean 400 SB in it. First 3 lessons in trucks were I don't like fords, built 400s like to overheat, and a teenager has no business in a truck with a 400+ HP engine and posi rearend.

Wow! That's a very clean and STRAIGHT truck, especially for being an '83. Hey 700 bucks! you can't go wrong. I've never driven a Blazer with the smaller 2.8L V-6. What's the power like? Gas milage?

It lacks power in the stock set up but mine was highly modded. The 3.4 in it now even more so. With a 3 inch BL and 31s I still got around 18-20 MPG depending on how I kept my foot out of it. Can't tell ya what the 3.4 gets yet as I'm still tinkering with it and might even SAS it now.

well, see, that's the problem. Dodge makes the trucks, not Chrysler (you weren't comparing the mini vans to the Ford p/u's were you?)
