On my way to look at another truck I don't need.

[LTZ C20]

Picked up the M1009 today.
I found paperwork in the glovebox for the GM delayed warranty program (hopefully you can read it in the picture).  My guess is that its for fleet vehicles that are not put  into immediate use.
Well, I got the blank form.
 My plan is to ship the Blazer & paperwork to the Chevy dealer that LTZ C20 works at.  Sounds like a fool proof plan.

Wait wait what?? What's going on? What's this GM delayed warranty thing you speak of? I've never heard of it.

So your on board? Great, I think it will work  (ha, ha)
I don't know if you could read the writing in my  picture (cell phone camera).
There was paperwork in the glove box to start a delayed warranty.
I'm guessing its for fleet sales (or maybe just the Military).  I'm thinking its so they can take delivery of a bunch of vehicles at once, then start the warrant for each vehicle as they go into service.
I've got the blank, undated form (I'll try to get better pics of it).
Will GM believe that the Blazer got rusty and has missing parts from shipping?
I can't even type this with a straight face, but its worth a shot.

[LTZ C20]

Haha oh boy I can only imagine where this is gonna go.... when we get new cars we have to report transportation damaged to the transport company so they can get it fixed. I don't think missing parts and rust qualify as "transportation damage" lol. I can't keep a straight face thinking that you think this might actually work!

Oh boy this is going to be better than home movies. I am getting the popcorn and watching how this thread turns out. Oh yeah..

  LTZ C20, I think your right on this one.  As Timthescarrd pointed out, imagine the  reaction I would get if i walked into GM dealer and showed them the paperwork.  It makes me laugh just thinking about it.  I'm sure most of the dealership employees have never seen this paperwork before.
  1967KaiserM715, as far as the auctions go, Iron planet is a good place to start, as is the GSA website.  For the local police & fire department auctions, you have to keep checking the local papers.

This is the oil sample valve that I mentioned earlier.

[LTZ C20]

Yea I just don't see it working. Interesting looking valve.

i would try it just to get a reaction out of them then pitch a fit about it and demand to see the GM. then once you see him shake his hand and introduce myself then say i wanted to talk to the man in charge and walk away

the fed auctions bring top dollar for CUCV K-30 pickups
Around $3000-3500
Don't bother with them The local depts might have some deals on K-30s

I would pay the $3000-$3500 if its a clean, running & driving rust free truck.
All of the auctions have their pros & con
One of the big downfalls of the local police/fire auctions is that the trucks tend to sit around for a long time before they go to the auctions & parts are missing.  The Blazer I just bought has been sitting behind the station unused since 2009. 
I've had good luck at the GSA auctions.  The prices are higher than the police//fire auctions,   but you can hear the trucks run & see them drive across the auction block.
The  online auctions like govliquidators tend to have the highest prices of all the auctions,  but you get to bid from the comfort of your house.  I've spent a lot of time researching & travelling to auctions & standing out in the rain bidding on trucks.
I've owned 16 CUCV's, so far the cleanest ones I've bought have come from craigslist.  These are the 2 Craigslist scores

I regret selling the one I had now. That thing was mint

That certainly was a nice one that you had.
You regret selling it & I regret not buying it.
It was also the deal of a lifetime for the $$ you paid for it.
I got the M1009 started today.  I tied the oil lines & trans lines together with these rubber line set ups I put together for the M1008.  I put the batteries in, hit the key, and nothing, the starter just clicked.  I put a spare starter in it, hit the key and it fired right up.  I didn't run it long without the radiator in it, but I know it runs.
I'm guessing it was taken out of service when the starter died.  As long as these 6.2's don't loose their prime and get air in the fuel lines, they seem to fire right up.

[LTZ C20]

Sweeeet.

Nice!
