Highlights:

Rare Factory Cheyenne / CST Blazer

AC Truck

Rare Color Combination (Dark Olive Green / Green w/ Black Top)

Original Interior w/ Sport Bucket Seats

Single Wall Top

Exterior:

The truck is in very good overall condition. The rare Single Wall top is in excellent shape. The rear hatch and hinges are also in great shape. There are a couple of rust areas that need to be addressed, but they are all cosmetic, easy to repair areas.

Interior:

The interior is in very good condition. The rear seat looks like it was never sat in and the rare front Sport buckets are in decent shape, too. The doors and door panels are also in very good condition. The CST/Cheyenne trim with the wood panels looks so cool and they cleaned up nice. The dash and gauges look great and everything works as it should. The factory radio was "upgraded" to a cassette deck at some point, but the dash was not cut. The Single Wall top is in excellent condition. There is no sag and the factory interior light and plug look like new. There is a rare set of leveling mats in the rear that are in good shape. Someone had installed some indoor carpet that we removed, with the exception of the rear side panels.

Mechanical:

The engine was rebuilt prior to the truck being put in storage. There were roughly 10,000 miles on the truck since the rebuild, but the actual mileage is unknown. The previous owner stated the engine was bored and an RV cam was installed to give it a little more power. However, he did not recall how much it was bored or all of the rebuild specs, as it has been many years since the work was completed. The truck was parked after the rear end had locked up. The owner pulled the diff cover to inspect it and found the ring gear had broken a couple of teeth. Although an easy fix, he never got around to having it repaired. We have not tried to move it due to the rear end, but we put a can of fresh gas to the fuel pump and hooked a battery to it and it fired right up and ran strong.The motor runs great and sounds very healthy. A quick service and I feel it is good to go. The transmission is making some noise and although the fluid level looks fine, it might need serviced after sitting so long.
