Ok guys, let's hear your thoughts please. :baby:

I just talked to this dude and got the lowdown on this 87 Burban:

http://reading.craigslist.org/cto/2134188592.html

-Has a rebuilt posi rear
-Has rear tailgate/no barn doors
-Has "typical" rocker and wheel wheel rust "but not too bad" :suicide:
-Owned it scince 1999, used it as a second vehicle and for dricing in the snow
-Motor has been replaced with a NAPA motor/20,000 mi on motor
-Trans and T-case is good
-Truck has not been inspeceted in 2 to 3 years :jawdrop:
-He is asking for $1800 clams. :think:

Drivetrain wise it'd probably be a step up but rust wise you'd probably be in the exact same boat you're already in. Why has he not inspected it in so long? That'd probably worry me a bit too. What happened with that K5? you said you may look at it this weekend?

But you could get a rust free burban down here for less than $1K and shipped for maybe $800.

I am worried also about that truck sitting so much also, but the new motor is tempting. I still have my eye on the blazer too. I talked to him and he said he put a $400 dolla exhasut on it? Must have duals. And if it doesn't have cats on it, I won't be buying that.

I can't find it in myself to buy a vehicle I can't look at or touch or smell.
