I just found a 93 blazer on craigslist for $1000 obo with 300k miles. according to the ad it has very little rust which is unheard of in NE and it just passed inspection in november. It comes with 2 sets of rims with tires. Unfortunately it will need gas lines. Would you buy and drive something with 300k? it's a 350 not a diesel.

If its mechanically sound and has a solid body I'd have no problem driving a 300k mile blazer. I'd definitely give it a good look over!

This is what I thought initially but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't being overconfident in a truck this old. thanks

To be honest at 300k miles it probably had a lot of things already replaced to get to that kind of miles I.E trans , Alt, water pump ect…. If it checks out SCOOP IT UP

I was suppose to go look at that one. The only thing that drew me away was the 93 interior that I hate.

Hate that nasty red interior. And the blue also. I would look at it. 1,000$ is cheap if its a solid frame. Scoop it up! You can always put some money into the motor and trans if its bad. I wouldnt get something that isnt running or the transmission is already dead in it.

I will definitely check out the frame if I go to look at it as I have a 1'' x 12'' hole in each of the frame rails on my 97 tahoe.

I'm right on the mansfield/norton line, and because of that, my street never gets plowed.
I might have to take up your offer on that patch if I don't end up getting this truck. thanks
