1981 2wd blazer rebuild
So the body on my old blazer was rotted beyond repair so I cut up the body but saved the frame a couple years back. Well a couple months back I found a clean blazer at a good price and dragged it home. Here is the starting point

Re: 1981 2wd blazer rebuild
Subscribed! Should be a fun build. Looking forward to following along. I've been thinking about converting my 4wd K5 to 2wd.
It looks familiar.  http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...hlight=tweaked Mike
