Camino LS6

I think I've already said all I have to say on this.

You have got to be kidding!

Wow! You are so close that I'll give it to you. The wheels themselves are from a later year. As for the rest, this is a very cheap find - so consider that when you see my description of the truck. :AH-HA_wink:

Nope, they were an option.

Good eye on the mirrors, the one on the pass. side is wrong entirely. On the driver's side, I'm not certain as this is the first year of this bodystyle (the later years defintely had black plastic mirrors). There is another detail that is wrong for the year which no one has mentioned yet.

Winner! Should be chrome on this one - the black grille only came with the "sport" option. In this case, the chrome was shot, so the current owner painted it. I'm also wondering if the two-tone is original to this truck.

The Silverado has it, and I've grown to like it.

Anyone notice an odd detail about how the Blazer looks? Let's see how sharp you all are.

I'm sure it can be removed, beyond that I don't have any help to offer.

Could be. Still makes me think WTF?

Don't know, it looks like a standard TBI 350 to me. I'll get the details later if I do pick it up.

Amen to that! All three of my '77s are just as solid, including the parts car which is otherwise a total rust bucket. WTH is wrong with Toyota? They should have had no trouble doing the same, I don't get it - it makes no sense.

OK, I got no such vibe from it in person fortunately. You'll be getting plenty of pics if I decide to bring her home. :AH-HA_wink: Underneath it looks very good, the floorboards are perfect, not too grimy. only minor surface rust on the frame and none on the sheetmetal. Interior is in very good shape as is the dash. You'll have to take my word on that for now.

I love stuff like this.

No, it is one single panel with two rectangular holes where the hinges were welded on. It rotted from the backsideout to the hinge and just pulled free. I think it was bare metal after welding that did it, but I'll have to take it apart to find out.

No, it is only in a 2"x3" rectangle where the hinges mounted - everything else back there is fine. Maybe a quickie repair at some point without the benefit of paint after welding? It's a puzzle.

What gives you the bad vibe? That's it for pics for now - I was in a bit of a hurry.

Yeah, I'm going to price out some worst case scenarios first. The localized rust thing is so strange - haven't figured that out at all.

Fortunately ,no. But the rear roof-mount speaker grilles are AWOL.

Oh yeah, the inspection is current.

Pretty filthy under there, that's all.

That doesn't worry me, it looks like he just didn't finish the job. But. Something in the driveline is quite broken - I'm thinking output shaft in the transfer case. And It has the most bizzare rust problem - the tailgate hinges are completely rusted off of the sheetmetal they were welded to. Or rather the sheetmetal at the welds just rusted away. It has NO other body rust anywhere, including the rest of that panel - very odd. Otherwise its seems to be in great shape. 186K miles but the engine is newer. The guy says it is from a '97. Runs pretty good, and still moves. But I'd have to trailer it home as the driveline clank is ominous.

Yeah, amateur aftermarket stereo install included. There are two more lying in the back.

That fact keeps coming up...

That's the configuration all right, and this truck must have been a factory order as it has some strange option combinations. And no Satty, I don't think it is haunted.
