Some good find there Gary, not sure if any are worth a roadtrip but if they were local definitely worth a look. The big block short bed could be a lot of fun even though not really what i had in mind.

So it seems like i timed the market very poorly. Im not having any luck at all finding one of these now that gas is cheap. Lots of underwhelming trucks and/or junk creeping into the 6k range now, which last year would have easily bought a pretty nice truck. ive yet to even look at anything in person since i started my search in january. There was a clean K20 for $5800 in ohio i was hoping to buy this weekend but there were about 6 other people interested so it already sold. Thinking about picking up a beater cherokee for the season since those are cheap and much easier to come by and i can always dump it if i find a truck.

Damn,

I was looking forward to this thread. I am in the same market looking for something to have fun on the weekends with. I haven't had much luck finding anything worth it though just like you Joel.

Im not giving up by any means but im not motivated to spend more to get less... Just going to have to be patient i guess.

Justin youre looking for the same thing as me?

[TSTONE]

If you're thinking about alternatives did you see this one?

Looks pretty clean - detroit craigslist search 1990 suburban


1990 Chevrolet Suburban - $3000 (Holland MI)

Behold! The Suburbanator!

Drove past a '77ish K5 Blazer that was for sale today. Slightly lifted (maybe 4"), bigger wheels/tires, yellow and white, white topper, for $7500 on the windshield. Looked pretty clean going past at 45 mph.

But seriously, Joel, I think you can find what you want for the price you want, but it just won't be in Michigan...

Pretty much Joel. I am in the same boat though as I don't think I'm in it for the current market prices.

Pretty sure I saw that one listed on craigslist actually and the interior was really trashed.

And i agree about going out of state but i have no experience with that and i dont like the thought of buying a 30 year old truck sight unseen or loading up a truck and trailer to turn around and come back home. Ive got a buddy in kansas city thats been looking for me out there but hasnt been much better than here.
