I just bought a 72 Jimmy on Nov 1st, so I am just beginning my journey with this style truck, but holy cow that orange one is awesome. That is a beautiful blazer. Looking forward to see this new one you have turns out.

I know this is not a for sale posting! but I do have some of the parts I am not going to be using when I put back together if anyone is interested? Let me know but I will be posting more pictures of the build in the next 2-3 weeks. Spare tire holder, original speaker and mount, cross member, all heating and cooling, console.

If I had to guess I would say air bag bracket.

Someone could not get back bumper off so they cut the frame horns off(never understand)! So I found another blazer and got the horns off it and got them installed today!! Starting to make progress! Body comes off next .

Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
Not much happening right now but going to remove body next week and start on frame and let body guy get started on painting after i have the body media blasted! Will update next week!
|
Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
Thanks for updates. Any insight on media blasting? I am torn between all the methods or trying a DIY solution like wet sanding or soda.
|
Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
if i had time i would do it myself but local guy is not that expensive to media blast!

Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
i used it on my other blazer and liked it but went with Dirty dingo this time.

Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
so it is truly a bolt in piece, my blazer is a dd so I need to make sure this is a efficient swap, also did you get any special wiring set up to connect the two?
|
Re: 1972 Blazer ls swap
Yes it is a bolt in piece but not sure what you mean about wiring?
