Look at picture #3. You can see where the axles went. They are under the chevy blazer he took those axles from. "For fuel economy" my ass. He bought that M35 for the axles, and is now selling it mutilated carcass. I just wonder what he screwed up to fit those axles under there.
that is what I was going to say

I think a dually wheeled Edsel dump truck would be more appealing.

Any bets on whether the tires are "Z rated Run Flats?"

The Volkswagen commercial from early last year would come in handy here. The one where the German scientist drops something like a '57 International Harverster combine on it and turns it into a decorative art coffee table for the introverts at the local Starbucks.

Yeah, it's sick...sad and homicidal. However, for $100.00, I’d take it if I was on the left coast. For parts if nothing else. Don’t think I’d drive it around, though…to embarrassing. I like the stares I currently draw, not sure I could handle the roll on the floor laughing or the retching…

Yanno, the shame of the whole thing is, that he is lying about why the axles were swapped. Honestly... had he just said "Hey, I have this deuce for sale, but I wanted the axles... so I put these on it to keep it rolling...."

he wouldnt be catching this crap :)

The axles are a little light but if I calculated it right 3.08 gears, 30" tires, and an .85 overdrive gets you 88 mph at 2600 rpm. Not my cup of tea but thought provoking none the less.

If you replaced the whole drive train with a big block, aluminum case trans, aluminum case Tcase, loose the inter axle, use 1 ton axles, and bob it to an 8' bed I bet the empty weight could get down to 8500 lbs. Don't ask me what you'd do with it though!!!!!

No kidding Mikey. I would like to see him drive it around some. That old 10-bolt might make it out of the lot and then grenade at the next stop sign. I blew one all to crap with 33" tires, a tired 6.2L, and the weight of a CUCV. With 3.73 gears in the 10-bolts that multifuel would be loping along at 65mph. I'd hate to make a panic stop with those dinky drums and discs. Holy shat!!

YUCK!!! Sure makes the "Malibu Deuce" look good, eh?

FWIW, I'm not too far from the seller, so if there are any serious buyers here, I can take a look for you... :lol:

It looks to me like the Rockwells are not actually installed in that Blazer, just sitting behind it... This truck could still be put back together.
