Just got around to posting my "new" 1009. Picked it up in May this year at Lakehurst, put a windshield in it. (I cracked it) Sorry it's tinted, same price so why not!! Put new exhaust last week, thanks Mike!! Runs good!!

Looks good, interesting never seen the star on the door like yours.

My bro in law says the star means it was used for a high ranking officer's transport.

Alfa had a black star on the tailgate of my M1008 and it confused him. I told him it was likely bogus and he agreed as he said he had seen them on the Blazers but never on the pickups. I painted over mine.

thanks for the info. I wish I knew how many miles it really had on it. It showed 02500.2 when I picked it up. I know that can't be true.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Well...probably means 102,500...unless the interior was pristine where 2500 might be possible. It's rare with the Blazers but the pickups are fairly commonly seen with LOW miles.

Having seen it in person, I will say its probably 102,500. It looks nice, but not 2,500 miles nice!!

funny, there is room for that first "1" but they are all zero's. maybe the speedo was changed at some point??????

 

[AJMBLAZER]

should be a 5 digit odo in this era truck. Probably means at some point the gauge cluster got damaged or broke and they replaced it with a later commercial truck cluster. It fits in it's place but came with a 6 digit odo.

 

[mangus580]

Not even so much the whole cluster, but the replacement speedo's after a certain point were 6 digit.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

That's because after 88 or so the main use for them was in the larger commercial trucks and the 88-91 K5's, Suburbans, and the few one tons all went to an electronic speedo signal for 90-91.
