Im new to the forums and have just purchased my first Blazer this past week.
The Blazer has been in an accident and it has pushed the pass side wheel back 2 1/2 inches just behind the lower A frame assembly mount . Pulling it on a frame machine seems like it will be a straightforward job. You can barely tell that the frame is bent. The A frame and wheel make it seem worse than it is.
It is a 1996 LS that has 121,000 miles on it and looks like it is in very good shape except for this.
I have a friend that will pull it for $300 and after buying parts to repair the damage I am looking to invest a total of about $1600 which includes my purchase price. Does this sound like it would be worth it?

1996 LS 4x4 4.3 A/C power everything deep tint

If it sounds doable I will put a 98-up front clip on it.

 

IMO, walk away! It might sound like you are getting a good deal but you never know. It may never be correct, drive safe and it may go threw front end parts very fast. Not worth it IMO

 

im with you on that, $1600 will buy a lot of blazer/jimmy in very good condition with-out the headache of the frame, i say pass, unless you decide to use it as a parts truck

 

Indeed Ill pass on it too

 

theres really no such thing as a simple "pulling the frame"....im sorry man im goina have to side with the crowd on this one.

if the frame is bent your risking bushings, cv joints, tires.....its just not a good situation to jump into my friend i dont wanna be that dark cloud but it can be a huge job even for a very exprinced body man to straiten a full framed car out ..

 

Pass!

 

Dont do it man! Just walk away, Far Far away!

 

Run like the wind!

I say part it out and sell the motor/tranny for 600,then random stuff later. you might get 750 for it all,then take the 300 u have to add to it...now,go spend a tad bit more money with that (that you would spent every 3 months replacing front end parts) and buy something reliable.
