Good Evening ladies and fellas,

Its been a turbulent 6 months since I sold my 87 C10 long bed and I've decided i am now back in the market for another truck.

I currently drive and own a NA Miata in DT Chicago and while I love how small and nimble it is, i don't feel its the best DD i've owned due to lack of space (its really small).

My NA Miata is a 1993, long nose crank, has a hardtop with no leaks (2k ish value), has brand new MeisterR sportive coils (UK company), has an aftermarket ECU similar to Megasquirt, has 143k miles, new rattle can paint, new tires/plugs/wires/rad/valve cover gasket/LEDs all around/ NB nardi wheel/ new recharged R134a/ killmatted and all fluids changed out recently.

So I am looking to trade for a K5 blazer. I am looking for a manual truck. Nothing automatic.

Ideally an LS swap with no rust (yes I can add cash). I don't want a massive 454 w gas prices, and I'd prefer something that has EFI (never owned a carb and hopefully never will). I see my Miata valued around 5-7k and ideally would like a similarly priced K5.

I could also be persuaded to trade my E30 (in MD at the rents place), but I'd value that around 15-20k and would need a really clean looking K5 to trade.

If you've read this far, meet the criteria and are interested lets chat!

I was thinking the same thing! How many would trade their square for a crappy Miata? Anyone?
lol same. I saw the hood looking like a 4 year old installed it in the first picture and kept reading hoping to find the punch line.

Yea, also stated he would trade for one with an LS swap, HAHAHAHAHA!. I'm almost done with my LS swap and have been offered 15K, but the guy was very drunk! Anyway, wouldn't even consider trading it for a crappy Miata.
