Hello all, it's been awhile since I have frequented the CUCV forum, but I hope you will follow along as I bring back a blazer that was destined for China (scrap).. Here is the story-
If you months ago a member of the local MVPA group mentioned in passing that he had a CUCV in his field that he wanted to sell.. He had bought it to fix but never did, it didn't have a starter, the tires wouldn't hold air and the dash was disassembled.. Also there was "some" rust in the floors..
We settled on a price ($800) and I brought it home.. I got 2 new batteries, and a starter, and glow plugs, spent about 2 hours putting it all in, hit the key and all the dash lit up and the plugs kicked on.. I pulled the wire off the fuel shut off, and made sure there was fuel to the filter, put the wire back on and it FIRED UP!!! It sat there and ran like brand new truck.. The engine sounds better then any 6.2/6.5 I've been around.. That was back in June..
