How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Just wondering how rare 2WD blazers are in other parts of the country?? Here in the north east, I can only rember seeing a few when they were fairly new. I haven't seen one in years here, and the 4WD ones are getting scarce due to rust. I loved my old 86 4x4 ( condemed due to rust ) and was thinking a lowered 2WD would be cool. I would probably have to have one shipped from the south.

I know of 3 2wd Blazers in Knoxville, TN.. If you go to a big show in the south you would see maybe 1 or 2 if you are lucky.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Since I picked mine up, I have seen two others, around Southeast Texas area. One complete custom and one in need of some TLC.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Including mine, I have seen two others on Craigslist here in the Washington/Oregon area within the last 3 months. None in the past two years before that.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

There are 2 running around up here in the summer time only

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I owned one back in the early 90s and it is still running around. You see couple cruising around Az from time to time.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

They are a little more plentiful than the '70-'72 models. But production stopped in '82. I would love to have a '73-'75 2wd model with the full removeable top. Check with "bagged74". He has a sweet '90 model (on a 2wd frame) in the '73-'87 trucks for sale section. EDIT: I went there to find a link,... and I don't see it now. Maybe it's sold.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I couldn't agree with you more, since they are so hard to get around here, once I found both a 77 2wd and a 75 4x4 I grabbed onto them. I am going to swap tubs on them and have some fun. Once I get started (in late Jan), I will create a build thread to monitor progress.
Here is a shot of them looking just how I found them.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I've seen maybe 5 come up for sale in the last year between Dallas and Oklahoma City (craigslist and auto trader only)

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

could you convert one to 2WD by swaping in a crossmember from a 2WD pickup , or the frames different??

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

We have about 5 that run around the town and I have seen several more in the surrounding area from time to time. I still have phone numbers floating around of some for sale....I think there are currently 2 or 3 on seattle/portland craigslist combined.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I've seen probably a handful in the Vegas valley.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Fairly common in the South. Here's a nice one I found on Craigslist-Link

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

cartman the frames are almost the same. you have to drill holes for the front crossmember mounting. see http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=168231 from sixty8c10
he did a full 4wheel to 2wheel swap

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

...and vice-versa too if I remember right? Doing one would be a lot of work (almost too much?) but to do two at the same time is beyond me!

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

This thread is kinda old but, I have always wondered the same. I live in a town of like 23,000 or more and I know of three over here. Central valley, cali.
Seen a few for sale around bay area.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

In wisconsin, I have maybe only seen 1 or 2 in my life. 4x4s are everywhere, but most are rusty, lifted, have a plow, or are mud trucks.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I've seen one in the 13 years I've lived here.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I have seen a couple since I sold mine several years ago.Well, three actually, two have been fairly recent and were lowered customs.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Seen a few in the summer here, mostly at car shows.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

so can we safely say there just arent that many? i stole mine(not literally,but close) i paid $450 for mine.had a guy ask me if it was for sale the other day.had to say no without even seeing what he wanted to pay for it.even though it needs a ton of work,that i really dont no how to do,i still love it.my wife almost killed me when i told her about the guy that wanted to buy it.she hates it.i will post a pic of it

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

[ATTACH]Attachment 577211[/ATTACH]p.s. it still isnt for sale

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Looks good.. What do you need to do to it? I know back window and lower the back, but it looks good..

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

in my country you can find some blazers, but, they are from 74-83...

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Not very common here in the Chicagoland area.I've seen one in person that I remember and every once in awhile one shows up on craigslist

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I can't recall ever seeing a 2wd squares in person besides mine, I've seen all of like 3 on craigslist...

i have seen a couple pre '73's around though..

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Since I bought mine, I haven't seen one 2wd, but about a jillion 4wd. To bad mine looks like a 4wd :lol:, but that will change very soon...parts are rollin' in ;)

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I'm think about buying a 4x4 and making a 2wd, i can find a decent one in the midwest right now....well i'm cheap, so that doesn't help when wanting a 'rare' vehicle.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Seen another one today in a small town I was working in.It is a pretty blue color, been lowered, and was out in the country.Looks like a driver cuz it has definataly been washed. I work in that area alot and never seen it before.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I seen a 77' GMC at a swap meet a few weeks ago. Stock,clean...asking 3,499. Worth every penny....The only one I have seen in person here,besides mine.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

theres typically 1-2 on cl. i bought the nicest one i'd ever seen on there imo. in the seattle area

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

Not that rare here in this part of Cali. The trick is to find a clean one tons of junk and 4X4

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I have not come across one that's 2wd near me.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

2 or 4 wheeler,they are rare here.
thats why i jumped on one weeks ago
I got my 4X4 a 3 hour drive from home
now seen a few in bits and pieces in paper since
they were popular up here for plowing snow/salt hence rare

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

the exact same as motornut

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

There are at least 3 that I know of in the Anchorage area. And since the Municipality of Anchorage is 130 miles driving distance north to south and about 20 miles east to west, That ain't very many for up here.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

I must be one of the 3:D. I had 3 when I lived in Fairbanks. The 74 I got last year (700.00) and have not started on it as I needed to finish (or at least get close) my 4x4 Van. Planning on starting on it next summer. Mine is the only 73-75 I know of and the others are 76-79 (one black one white) I don't know of any 67-72's. Seems to be a few Burban's in 2wd being used as family trucksters.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

not sure how rare 2wd will be now that you can buy a drop member (more and more options for this) and make any 4wd into a slammed 2wd. Sport Trucks just picked a $200 4x4 and put a drop member on it for their bagged k5 project. If i were building one, that makes more sense as i would probably bag it anyways...

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

There are actually more 2wd Ramchargers than there are C5's around here.

Re: How rare are 2WD blazers where you are??
 

:gmc2:[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I guess I was lucky, I found mine in my home town of Albuquerque,New mexico. Had to have it shipped to Erie, Pa.As far as I know I have the only 2WD in Erie.
