1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Great Prices All Around - $10,000 (sioux falls / SE SD)
I'm pretty sure that one sold in Sturgis at auction a month or so ago. I looked at it, but decided I had too many projects. Brought about half of what they are asking if I remember right. Definatly rough, but it could be saved. Rust in the usual places, back door was caulked shut.- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
It was an online auction. A few years ago there was a running 50's Ford COE wrecker at a live auction a few hours north of me, thought about going but decided it would be a waste of time. Later I found out that it sold real cheap (around $2000 or so). I thought about driving down and...- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
Don’t need that to get the juices flowing, been dreaming about one of these for years. I love ugly trucks, last one was a Mercedes Unimog MB4/94. I like the four doors, but that’s beyond my skill set. Thinking of a pickup type bed or wrecker type bed (without the booms).- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
No, not a poker player. I was just in Deadwood today looking at a squarebody bed, but it was too rough for what I want it for. If you win big, I’ll sell it to you and you can haul it home!- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
Well I made it back without any major issues, Damm that beast is heavy! I found a bed for my 80 for sale in Colorado so decided to try to pick it up while in the neighborhood :rolleyes:, priced right and supposed to be rust free. It wasn’t, so I drove a couple hundred extra miles for nothing...- SDJunkMan

Nasty parasitic draw from plow
If it's a Meyers plow, it can also burn out the selonoid if left in the down position (I've mistakenly burned out several over the years). The plow uses power to open the valve and closes it when power is removed. It really sucks to have the selonoid go out in the down position when you are...- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
Thats pretty much what I thought about the one I have. I didn’t plan to make a rod out of the Bus, but a food truck. Figured I would use the Dodge running gear until it crapped out, the upgrade it to a small block Chevy.- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
I bought an old motor home years ago to go under a 39 Ford school bus that I have. The wheelbase is the same as the bus, but unfortunately it is a Dodge running gear. Actually passed up another one last year for free, but it was also a Dodge, would have grabbed it if it was Chevy powered.- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
Well :rolleyes: The Square or the COE? I gave $1034 (including buyers premium) for the COE, the other two brought around $1500-$1600 each. The square I was bidding on brought around $800, I got out about $575. Squares were bringing decent money, a nice C30 dually with a flatbed only brought...- SDJunkMan

What the He!! was I thinking?
Was watching an online auction that had a bunch of square body parts trucks yesterday, hoping to get a decent box for my 80. Always wanted a COE, and there were 3 on this sale, so I was watching them too, just for grins. The first two went for a lot less than I expected so I started bidding on...- SDJunkMan

Got a weird idea for a truck bed
Theres one around here that they did something similar to that to, kind of looks like a 5th wheel RV bed / pickup bed cross. I'll keep an eye out for it and see if I can get a picture. -
Patch panel to “fix” hole in bed from former 5th wheel hitch??
If you can't find a donor, I think LMC sells patch panels. -
What new tools have you got lately?
Have to tear out a bunch of concrete in the future, plus this will be great for hauling firewood. Blazer was working hard pulling it home, but I had the wrong hitch on my Powerstroke and didn’t have time to change it. -

Hood wont open, broken cable??
I've had to do the hood bump on almost everyone of my vehicles, including my Ford. I'll try cleaning it up and lubing it real good.- SDJunkMan

Well, took a break to write this, went back out, and it opened on the first try! Cable isn't broke, not sure what the problem is, think I'll look for a new latch.- SDJunkMan

Hood wont open, broken cable??
Ok, having trouble opening the hood on my CUCV, think the release cable broke. Tried the coat hanger thing, but no luck, not sure if I'm getting the right place or not. Looked at my 78, but the release is totally different from the 84. Wedged the hood open a little but can't see the latch...- SDJunkMan

Frame swap
Pretty sure the frame horns (ends) are different, so you might have to use newer style bumpers, or fab some new bumper mounts. Seems like there may be a minor difference in the cab mount also.- SDJunkMan
