I've owned a nice '75, a rusty '73 (that ended up losing the windshield header because teh rest was too far gone to fix), a rusty '74 that had severe issues (also lost windshield header, too far rusted to even want to try to sort out), a decent '75 that got run into the ground, and a converted '77 2wd. The long and short of it is that I love Blazers. I can appreciate pretty much all of them. I do think that a lot of the reason that you see so many trail rigs is there are a lot of Blazer only parts that aren't being reproduced. It would be great to see these trucks get the aftermarket respect the earlier versions do. There would probably be a lot more of them around if the rocker boxes were being reproduced.
