Hi everyone! I'm a noob to this forum. I am considering a 77 Blazer K10 with a blown transmission. I can pick it up for about $250; the engine runs awesome and the body and inside are in good shape. It will still drive but reverse doesn't work. So I guess my question is should I get it and replace the tranny? And if yes then how much will a good tranny cost? Thanks for the help[sm=icon_blah.gif]

 

Welcome to the forum.
If you like it, get it. Prices of parts vary from area to area and country to country so I don't like to quote prices.
Check with auto wreckers for used trannys or rebuild shops for prices.
I love my old full size blazers.

I agree with chevy lover, you can't beat that price!! Plus transmissions for them are cheap anywhere you go!!! Dang chevy lover that blazer is so nice im jealous!!!

 

If your sure everything else but the tranny is good then I say buy it. A tranny rebuild shouldn't be that costly.

Thanks guys for your replies. I'm pretty sure that I will end up getting it...I mean what's there to loose? I found a tranny off of car-part.com for only $200 so I will probably just get it or else see what it costs for a rebuild. It is painted camo right now... I will post pics as soon as I pick it up[sm=smiley20.gif].

 

If your buying a used tranny, best to have it gone thru. For $200, that's a core price. IMO, buy a remanufactured trans. It will cost less in the long run.

Hey, welcome

 

Well guys, I just made the deal. I will be picking it up tomorow. There is a local tranny shop that most guys around here use; I will probably just have them rebuild it for me. Oh, and I don't think I ever told you it is a automatic transmission.

 

Congrats on buying a nice rig, look forward to some pics of it!!

 

Well, here are your pics: Enjoy
