Matt, any around KC ? my buddy does not care if it runs or not. No rust buckets. I have seen two of them close to me, but they are rotted out.

It is going to be next to impossible to find a 35 year old blazer that is not rusted out. Especially a military one. Any that are still in good condition are going to be bringing top dollar, as in twice what they cost when new!

Like Rick said, rust was built into the M1009 CUCV Blazers. You can hear them rusting as you walk up to one. They do get awesome fuel mileage.

Thats a tall order. These guys are gonna want to see pics of magnets on body panels, chief. In this case, I doubt they will approve the use of super glue.

If you bought a diesel Blazer from So-Cal then it was not cheap, or even close. Even if it is rusty it would not be cheap because the off roaders would have snatched it right up. Yup, I want to see pictures and especially since you threw that little snark in our faces. We still remember YOUR last purchase!

When you go to register it, be ready to explain the J(?) in the VIN. I had to do that here and the lady was happy to finish up the title. Also if it has the original floor mats, I recommend pulling them out. That's what my motor Sgt did. Soldiers would wash the interior and soak the mats and then rust. When I pulled mine out I was lucky and just a few rust holes.

Sold the truck and have a few spares I can part with.

Yes there are and I plan to find out why. When I answer a post I am reading the original so I seriously doubt I would have made that comment about So-Cal if it was not mentioned.

Yes Sir, those floor matt's hold water. We will rip those off first thing. Again, this is not my M-1009.
Rick, I thought those posts by me, Hambone and 1 other must have been hacked by the Russians lol.

Salt6, I really know what you mean "When you go to register it, be ready to explain the J(?) in the VIN. I had to do that here and the lady was happy to finish up the title"
