just picked this 1971 cst Blazer from the Indian reservation here in Arizona. it never left the reservation untill now. it spent the last 25 years out of commission and parked in the arizona desert among a bunch tumbleweeds..
so im calling it the Tumbleweed.. it has the CST option as well as others
my plans are to leave it parked until i finish my 72 short super.
it has the spid. i first will get rid of the body lift.

Its funny how everyone off these I’ve bought have had a body lift and if you watch for them for sale they have a lift too

Nice find! My '72 donor rig was as solid as that one appears. Would have been nice if my '70 had been that nice!
