Whayda think? This isn't really the usual "is it or isn't it" thread, I suppose it would be easy enough to have the guy e-mail pics of the RPOs. Basically i'm feeling out the price, see what you guys think.

A little steep for the mileage, even assuming it's a real deal b4u, and the paint is as good as the pics imply, huh?

3500 is prolly about the highest I would go on it, i like it except for the bench seat and the 94 steering wheel...at least its a true ss, dont find those too often on ebay!lol

97_S-10SS · 03-20-2008, 04:35 PM

The bench seat wouldn't be an issue, I'd just swap in my Camaro seats, but I see where you're going. I'm looking for a '94 or '95 dime since recent changes in IL emissions laws don't require testing for '95 and earlier non-OBD II vehicles, and an SS would be nice since then I don't have to mess with removing any chrome. Then I can throw in whatever small block, carb or efi,that suits my whims at the time.

60/40 split...but yeah, buckets would be nice.

SSfan48 · 03-23-2008, 12:13 AM

I hate the 60/40 split..it's the devil!lol..mine is getting buckets in soon..and your looking for a 94 or 95, the good thing about them is they have the big gas tanks so you can go longer on a full tank, i dont know when they stopped putting those in but my i know my dads 98 has the small tank and he gets about a week or so out of a full tank in his, maybe a little more and i can get 2-3 weeks out of a full tank and i drive it evryday

Define big and little tank...

SSfan48 · 03-23-2008, 01:20 PM

well my dads has a 14 gallon i think it is and mine holds 20

ssz28man · 03-23-2008, 07:23 PM

I thought all the 2nd gen trucks had a 15gal tank. Could be wrong, but all the one's I've done fuel pumps in had the same tank

Mine is 19...per the ownera manual.

ssz28man · 03-23-2008, 08:47 PM

hmm ok, like i said, i could be wrong. guess that explains why it seemed like some of the tanks hang a little lower past the frame and are a little closer to the drive shaft. I just thought i was remembering wrong truck to truck

they must've started putting the smaller ones in the 98 and up, my moms '02 blazer has the smaller one too, i dont know exactly what they hold im not around either one right now but im guessing its 14 or 15, my friend has a 96 blazer and his is 19 so it must be like 94-97 for the 19 gal or something like that

bonz · 06-23-2008, 05:10 PM

my 97 has the smaller tank - non SS truck

I guess I missed this reply...the wifes '02 ZR2 Blazer has a 19 gallon tank.

nimrod8560 · 07-20-2008, 11:46 AM

My 2000 4.3L has a 15 gal tank. I know this because I put in 14.5 gal of gas in last week.

97S10SS · 07-26-2008, 12:55 AM

Mine definelty has the smaller tank, didn't know it came with a bigger size. I don't like to let the needle get down too low. I think the most I've ever put in it was 12.8 gallons and that was too much in the red for my taste lol.

97_S-10SS · 07-26-2008, 09:58 AM

Right, but the needle is never an indicator of a completely empty tank. When I fill up when the needle hits empty, it usually takes around the 15 gallons. Sometimes 14.5. Sometimes a little over 16. But having had to replace fuel pumps on an "empty" tank, I can assure you there's more there than what the needle is saying.

01cherryreds10 · 07-26-2008, 11:51 AM

I think there's something like 3 gallons of gas left when the needle buries to E. I've heard the low fuel light will flash when your about to run out of gas, that may be just a myth.
