I didnt think so either , Yet there is a guy in CA on craigslist advertising one with a factory big block as well. Thats a sweet blazer 5150 , love the no header in the windshield panel !

Big Block · 08-27-2011, 04:34 PM

Wow, that 73 does look nice. 73-75 were known for their rust! Nice to see one that survived.

Firebirdjones · 08-27-2011, 04:39 PM

Out west here has a way of doing that

bterry97gt · 08-29-2011, 03:09 PM

Hey guys new member here and have been looking for a 2wd blazer for a while. Im located in northern Alabama, but I am willing to drive to get what i want. I am looking for one of two things; either a previously restored blazer thats in decent condition that i can do a nice static drop and wheel combo on, or a roller to do a roadster build with. Budget will depend on the truck and condition.

Hey, welcome to the forum. This is a great resource.

Blazester has his '72 for sale. It is closer to you (in the Atlanta area). You could get it for around $20k, which in my opinion is a steal compared to what all has been done to it. I posted a few pics of it at the Auto Fair here in CLT on Saturday in THIS forum thread. He also has it for sale in the forum classifieds HERE

Of course, I wouldn't change much on his. It will go anywhere now. He's ran it on the Hot Rod Power Tour. It's already lowered (without bags). Of course, I am a daily driver guy. I wanna be able to enjoy mine everyday of the week, so I am not a big fan of airbags.

If I had the money (or the existing credit), that's the one I would be going for.

70BLAZERX2 · 08-29-2011, 07:17 PM

Mine (70 2wd) is getting a 70 LS5 454 T5 upgrade..so it can be driven as is will now suck the gas like never before...was getting 6mpg with a stock 90 454 muncie 4speed..LOL at least i can go 80mph now..when its done...

Thanks for the link although that is slightly out of my league. I guess what im really looking for is more of a "driver". I don't doubt that you can drive that anywhere but im looking more for a truck i can do small little projects on but still take to cruise-ins and stuff like that. The one in your link is to "complete" for me haha

curlymt · 08-29-2011, 11:10 PM

Hey guys, I have been a member of the forum for a while but have not posted.
I love the discussion on these 2WD blazers. I currently own a SWB 2WD '69 C10 with a factory wood bed. I have been considering selling or trading my truck for a 2WD blazer...anything in particular I should look for?
I live in Denver CO....if any one knows of one for sale in the area give me a heads up.
Nice to meet you all!

Here's mine for sale on Ebay:

curlymt · 09-23-2011, 09:40 AM

@5150

That is very nice! I have seen it a few times on a few different sites.
Unfortunately it is not quite what I am looking for and probably more than I want to spend.
I do love the ride though!

Bump any out there?

classicchev · 10-10-2011, 10:31 PM

I just delivered my Jimmy back to the original owner, and for my asking price too.

They are out there,

Mine is back on Ebay, it ends tomorrow. The reserve has been lowered.

I can't believe you haven't sold her yet! If I didn't already have one I would be on my way to your place to pick it up!!!

Who knows why I haven't sold it yet. I know the topless thing is a turnoff for some. Kind of figured someone in California would be all over it.

Quite a few going up for sale around there, aren't there. You sure keep a pretty good eye out Bouncy.

clean71 · 11-02-2011, 08:36 PM

Mine may be for sale shortly and from what I've seen some going for, I won't get anywhere near what I'd like. :-( 1972 GMC Jimmy. Black, 68 chevy front clip, new (as in never driven) edelbrock performer 350, new 700r4, and possibly Porterbuilt's stage II kit. Not sure if he's started on it yet. I've slowly had to sell off my stable. These pics were taken before I bought her and she's probably not quite as clean now.

jeffg1010 · 11-04-2011, 07:33 PM

I hate to jinx it, but I gotta tell someone! (Of course, I already told GCBURDIC, he's a local though) I think (after an exhaustive search) I have found the project Blazer I've been searching for. Should know on Tuesday. It's pretty sweet and I have pics, but I KNOW that'll jinx it.

72BlckButy · 11-04-2011, 10:02 PM

Come on JeffG.... you know you can't mention having pics without posting them.

Congrats on the find, can't wait to see it in your driveway.

jeffg1010 · 11-04-2011, 10:32 PM

Give me til Tuesday. He lives pretty far away, so even though we've worked the deal, until cash changes hands... I dont want to start showing it off. But I am still pretty stoked.

Just like I told burbman69 and gcburdic at the Detroit Speed open house the other night. I've already started building it . . . in my mind. haha.

Just giving you some crap...

Can't wait!!!! I'm going to hold you to Tuesday.

jeffg1010 · 11-22-2011, 11:10 PM

Man, I found a WHOLE herd of 2wd Blazers... already restored and CHEAP!

...at Target.

jeffg1010 · 11-22-2011, 11:30 PM

Oh!!! I had someone ask me if that was the Blazer I was talking about two weeks ago.
Nah... I got that one.

I just forgot to follow up on this thread.
