I picked it up for $800.00 its got 241,xxx on the body nd 100,xxx on the motor and trans. I need to replace the front seal in the transfer case an theres a little rust.... the front fenders where completely black i tried matching the silver as best i could an i have to get the darker silver for the top of the fenders and my custom cowl hood interior is impeccable except for the head liner is sagging im putting a flow master exhaust on it this weekend and ordering a 6in suspension kit for it in 2 weeks then a 3 inch body.....but anyways on to the pictures...

my personal advice is if you want a lift kit only do a 3'' body lift, you talking a 9'' overall that would throw the center of gravity way off. just my 2 cents.

the idea being to set it up to flex in that situation, you'll find that the guys that are realllllll serious into the climbin and what not are jacked way up there

You should be fine as long as your not doing any real off camber hills or straight up climbs. Those s-10 blazers when lifted don't sit real high anyways

Nice price for what you got. If I were you before going nuts with all that lift I'd put my money into the bodywork first. Remember old man winter is coming real soon, and you living in Pa. I think you get good winters so think about bodywork first before the road salt and all that nasty stuff gets into the hole in your 1/4's. Good Luck!

nice truck, more than a "little bit of rust" i think, but still a good buy. they make good 4x4's. i dont see a need for body lift, those motors cant handle turning real big tires anyhow. just leave it alone. jmo
