1978 2-Wheel drive Blazer Build.
 

I Found a Factory 1978 Two-wheel drive blazer, The thing runs, drives and stops. but the Body had too many rust issues. the frame is very clean, with no rust .. kool! . so I removed the body, degreased and power washed the rolling chassis. and found a nice Arizona no rust body. now a little paint on the frame and i will set on the new body. its powered by a 350v8, 350 turbo trans and 308 rear gear.

will keep updating................ dave
