My Jeep YJ was cross pollinated with a 1977 half-ton long box. I will agree, the parts are tough and dependable!!

I still miss my 71 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4...pop the hood and there you found...a motor and a radiator and a battery...life was so simple...I did have to roll the windows up and down, that was tuff..
Had over 250 K on the thing but I woulda drove it to the ends of the earth...
I don't miss the ex wife who walked off with it tho...never could find what she did with it..
Maybe I need to get away from the diesel idea and back to gassers... so much more to chose from..

I am keeping my eyes open for a 1971 Blazer that is reasonably priced and in decent shape. Some I find in the papers for $12,000 and very pretty, others for $5,000 and looking like they should be in the scrap-yard ....
My yard is pretty full right now (5 Jeeps, 1 GMC, 1 Yamaha + two trailers) ... so I will have to wait a bit ..

Mine was a 1974. That 360 is a great engine!
7 years after I bought it, I ended up selling it for $900; the same price I paid for it. The guy that bought it came from 85 miles away. He took it about a mile down the road, turned around, and came back and handed me $900.
I wonder if it's still on the road?

Great trucks.  Other than a few 'yota 4x4s, all my trucks have been PWs (my current truck is an '06 2500 4x4 w/ a Cummins). The first one was a '74 PW I bought new after I graduated HS.  I'd love to find another old Dodge for a DD.
