rigon4 · 02-24-2008, 04:23 AM

OK to start i just got a 1981 2wd blazer and i know

i will take some later. but how many 2wds were made from 73-82 and how many were in 81 and what is it worth not for sale just want to know how good of a deal it was only paid $900.00 for it, thanks

**N2TRUX** · 02-24-2008, 04:39 AM

No idea how many were made. What it is worth depends on the condition. With out pics or description it's like trying to milk a cow over the phone. It can be done but it aint easy....

rigon4 · 02-24-2008, 04:44 AM

it needs a rocker and a tank. 82k nothing wrong inside nice paint

kevinr1970 · 02-24-2008, 07:10 AM

I think what I have heard is the 2wd made up 7% of total production of Blazers. Not sure how much that varied from year to year though?

Sounds like less rust than mine - and I live where the rust is not supposed to be bad and you live where it is supposed to be ridiculous?!?

BowTieOgre · 02-24-2008, 08:38 AM

When I had my '73 I did some research and found out that about 44k of the 4wd models were rolled off the line but one about 3k of the 2wd version. So kevinr1970 is about on the money. Personally I think you got a great deal if it is as described. Of course you realize we are picture junkies so snap a few this weekend and post em up!

Twisted78SS · 02-24-2008, 09:24 AM

Yeah, what they said... sounds like a great deal, but I guess we'll have to wait to see

rigon4 · 02-25-2008, 01:10 AM

here are some pics

and more

Looks like you got a smokin deal on that one!

rigon4 · 02-25-2008, 06:34 AM

more info the truck is a 6cyl with a th350 some odd after market ac, power windows, power locks. new brakes all the way around. and are the wheels stock?? all the other truck rallys i have are little slots not the ovals.

Jonboy · 02-25-2008, 07:08 PM

I think you got a pretty good deal too, especially if it is as rust free as it looks in the pictures. Those are car rally wheels, but are most likely either off of an Impala or are aftermarket (most cars have a smaller bolt circle, 5 on 4.75).

Damien · 02-29-2008, 09:30 PM

It looks like a decent deal. The body has been repainted and it looks like there are rust spots starting to bubble out. If you just want to drive it, it will be great. If you want to restore it or repaint it, It looks kind of scary.

**Zoomad75** · 02-29-2008, 10:48 PM

I'd say considering the age and location it's about as rust free as one could get in NY. sure it needs rockers and wheel arches, but don't most of them back there that saw ANY time on the road?

Given the location and the cost I'd say it was a good deal. Heck the Rally Wheels alone could sell for a 1/3rd to 1/2 the purchase price if all the rings and caps are there and in good condition.

It looks to have less rust than some of you rustbelters started out with at least!

Still not sure about the floor pans in the front or the section at the tailgate, but those are common areas to rust and fix too.

rigon4 · 03-01-2008, 05:50 PM

it going to be a resto. 2 fenders, rockers and lower 1/4 patches
