I'm having a really hard time finding a 6.2 truck anywhere within 300 miles of San Diego. Where the heck are these things located?

Where,when and how much did you pay for your 6.2?

I remember 10 years ago when I was in highschool and couldnt afford my own set of wheels they had auctions for military 6.2 blazers and pick ups all the time. I always wanted one but now they seem to just not be around anymore.

govliquidation.com

Six years ago I got one for free. Did some wiring on it and ran it as a daily driver until the first of 08. Bigger family so I got a 6.5. Sold it for $500 bucks. See them all the time for cheap around here. Alot of parts too.

I paid $1500 for mine in '03 from my brother-in-law... Had some of the original dealer paperwork in the glove box *bonus*.

Granted the production figures tell a story of "rare when new" for '88 and up 6.2's, but the flip side is that a lot of government agencies (CalTrans, school districts, etc.) bought diesel trucks and short buses. Keep your eye on the auctions.

paid $1300 in gardnerville NV about a month ago. Old Cal-trans truck but in mint condish!

I found a brand new snap-on spot welder in a dumpster and traded it for my basket case truck without a motor,then found a motor for 100 bux with 50k miles on it and got the rest of the parts for free at a friends scrap yard.

Really depends on where you are, some farming areas have tons of 6.2s/6.5s, other areas, not so much in other areas.

As for me, after about 4 months of searching, I found mine about 2 hours from me.

got mine about 2 months ago after my other truck got stolen, picked up this one for 500$ and just slapped all new rear brakes, and master on it today for another 500

89 chev 3500 6.2 dually with a 9 ft curtis, 2500 bucks, 339000 km's

i got mine for 900 bucks in february from a 18 yearold guy needed a clutch and 3 u joints now it runs like a champ it was a 4X4 its got minor rust too so i had to get it

a year or two ago, 1000 dollars and she was mine...poured my heart, soul and bank account into her...but now she's gotta go :(

I was looking for a cheap diesel 7 years ago, a buddy at a non chev dealership called me up and said, guess what just got traded in. $1000 later and a Sub 4x4 with 400,000 on it but mechanically sound she was mine. She's now at 700,000 and running strong.

I got mine 7/5/06. I see about one a month on craigslist here.
...there around, Keep lookin'

My 6.2 i got from a junk yard...yea someone actually thought it was the end of the line for it! it was an old county truck. it needed two batterys so i took some of my dads old big rig batterys on a cold day in january not thinking it would start but as soon as the glow plugs shut off it started like itd had beeen running all night even though the guy said it hadnt been running for over a year. I paid 2500 for mine and knock on wood havent had any major problems with it in 3 months only had 92000 on it when i got it

2k for a 85 3/4 4x4 133k miles, canopy, new tires and brakes, mint interior 4 speed. february. all over up here in WA.

Got mine over 2 years ago and paid a grand for it. Ive been very happy with what its been able to do. Better towing and fuel economy than my Blazer.

burb#1 got it for $400-$500 years ago at a dealer he sold it for $1500 the guy came the next day to pick it up it started was running died never to start again after 3 months on his lot he put make offer on it .. drug her home put a IP pump on ran for 2 months till the rods came out...


Burb #2 traded a POS jeep cherokee for it ($400) is what the jeep was worth
fixed the hard start and no 4wd problem ...

$800 for the '93 (old state truck @ auction), $800 for the '92 parts truck (overpaid), only $200 for my rusty departed '85 Sub (the batteries from it were worth more than that)

... 2001 GSA sealed bid auction,... from BATF my '85 M1009 CUCV for $888, and if I'd known what I was getting (listed as '85 chevy blazer) I'd have bought all three for $1200ea. It had 54k miles and needed batts and tires and lube to all points.... still running great at 94k miles and it doesn't matter what else I have ('99 GMC burb 6.5td) I'll keep it... Oh yea, I have about $700 in it counting tires, batts and paint....

I paid $3000 for my old 6.2, but it was an 1984 with under 100k miles. It has been driven on over (7)1000 mile trips and used as a daily driver. All I have replaced was the starter and oil changes. I sold it to a girl I know and she drives it hard and it still purrs. ONE OF THE FEW BULLITPROOF 6.2's.

i got mine a week ago today for $1500 frome a guy in the offroad club im in.

Paid $6000 for mine last year. Flew to Las Vegas on allegiant air for $29 and drove the truck bad to South Dakota

Truck looked like this when i bought it.

New gm goodwrench 6.5 with 15k miles on it.

Sold off all the stereo, tool boxes, tvs, dvd player, playstation, pickup bed crane, roof rack, and now have about $3000 invested after selling that stuff.

I still have 4 brand new 39x18 baja belted that came with the truck as well as the used ones on it. I should be able to get $1000 for those and im keeping the brand new 12,000lb winch that also came with the truck....also keeping the 105g tank in the bed and the tool box that fits over it.

No rust, panels straight, a few dings.

If i did sell the rest of the stuff id only have about $1000 in it.

I inherited my '84 Suburban 6.2 but had to replace the injector pump, glow plugs and a few other odds and ends.

the best deal i got was $600 for an '82 blazer. it needed a new starter, and bats, but ran fine after that. sold it for $2500.

I just got my '89 Suburban on Saturday (23 May 09) paid $750 for it.

There's pics in my Garage

$2200 shipped to MI from NJ 2 years ago. First thing I ever bought off eflay.
