How cool is this? Spent its life in the fire department garage and was evidently used for brush fire duty.

Looks like a scale model engine in the engine compartment!

Cool rig and originality, needs dash pad also Bill W. style Restification.
I checked Sped for Spotlights or other factory prep but appears all added equipment.
VIN CKY183F119125

Bid to $35,600.

Relisted with a $49,500 BIN.

The guy needs to pull the fire crap off of it and make it appear a stock Blazer, IMO.

If you look at the Google album, it's got a half top (weird--I never saw that before), but the bottom side is not inspiring or indicative of 22K miles and indoor storage. Fenders are rusted through at the bottom. I can't fathom $49K for this!

That booster tank probably leaked for decades.
