Should I buy or not??? 1972 Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yearn4Classics · 02-27-2005, 06:22 PM

I know all you guys here are eager to help and give great advice. Iâ€™m thinking about buying a 1972 Blazer 4x4, to make into a 2wd blazer. The guy wants $900 for it. It has the usual rust at both rockers, a little under the driverâ€™s side door, and the windshield frame. It has a dent on the left front fender, which Iâ€™m not concerned about because Iâ€™m going to put a 67 or 68 front end on it. Itâ€™s a straight 6 with PS, PB, and a manual trans; and runs. Itâ€™s current with DMV and has a clean title. What do you guys think, should I or shouldnâ€™t I

?? Please give me your opinions. Thanks all

I'm far from professional, but if it is mostly complete, you could easily recoup your $900 investment by parting it out. Check the rocker boxes though. If the rocker panels are rusted, there is a good chance the boxes are going too.

You are asking us if you should by a Blazer? That's like asking a fatman if you should buy a bag of candy!

If it runs and is registered it would hard to beat that price in California.

Thatâ€™s a good one; I just hope that kid in the clip isnâ€™t into Blazers. If he is, and checks this site out, heâ€™ll probably kill himself. Its wrong in so many ways but still very funny. Keep the advice coming, I appreciate it.

No guys I didnt buy the k/5. When I went to go see it it had more rust than what the guy hd told me. Seeing how the guy lied to me, I didnt feel comfortable buying the truck. Thanks guys for the advice, it really came in handy.
