here is a question i had rolling around in my head...(there is lots of room in there)...LOL if I bought a 4x4 and had a 2wd truck frame laying around and was going to z the frame could i just cut the front of both and swap them before I weld it up for the z...? i guess what I am saying is are the frame the same width, and could i do just that???

Hey guys, what are the unique differences of the Blazers? which is the most rare to find and what years did they come with a removable top?

Blazers came with full removable tops from 1969-1975. 1976-1991 had half removable tops...

I used to have a 79 Jimmy and an adult could sit fairly comfortably in the back seat since the floor was the same height behind the front seat as it was in front of the front seat. I then purchased a 76 Blazer, and found my passengers complaining about no leg room as the floor rises about 10 inches right behind the front seat! ..Dumb design, but at least I don't have to sit back there since its MY VEHICLE!! LOL Also, my 79's back seat folded flat then flipped forward, where as my 76's seat is bolted solid to the floor. My 79 had a power rear window which was great for accommodating weather changes on the fly, where as I gotta get out and manually crank the window down on the 76. (planning on changing that even though it looks cool, its a pain in the ass for a daily driver) The 79 had full seat belts and factory high back seats, the 76 has lap belts and low back seats. The 79 had a factory tach, and was fully loaded with power windows, locks, air, tilt, cruise, intermittent wipers.. Not sure if all that was available on the earlier ones or not..?

Very nice! Post some pics of the suspension setup in the suspension section if you get a chance.

gcwhite · 04-20-2010, 09:20 AM

Thank you I will as soon as I can get it back on the lift. He used alot of factory gm parts for the 4-link off a tahoe/suburban set up.

diamondjimtwo · 01-09-2010, 04:38 PM

Hello everyone. I am fairly new here and thought I would add mine to the list.

It is a 1 owner 1979 2wd that I just picked up last week. Runs and drives, but has been sitting for about 10 years. Going to be my project truck.

any more pictures?

diamondjimtwo · 01-10-2010, 12:28 PM

Couple more. I gutted it out to see what I had to work with. Turns out it is pretty solid for a PA truck. Some spots need attention. I worked out a deal with a local shop to fix some rust areas on the inside. Trading a set of tires and wheels that I had for my '91. They are 35's on black steelies. I had $400 in them and the shop wants $600-$700 to do the work. He said we can "work something out" as far as a trade goes. I figure I'll have around $100 out of pocket in it.

The paint on the passenger side has the clear coming off from sitting so long. It must have been on the south side.

blazn79 · 01-11-2010, 01:07 AM

Thats a funny thing I bought my black 79' 2wd blazer from the original owner out of upstate NY back in Feb 08' and it had a NY inspection sticker from Nov. 99' when it arrived @ my house!
