Wanted - '72 Blazer CST 4x4 w A/C - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

slamd58 · 12-21-2004, 02:04 PM

Hello Everyone! I got to say this is an awesome website! I wish I had found this when I was building my '58! I am new to the "community" and am looking for a '72 Blazer CST 4x4 with A/C, PS, PB, Tilt preferably on the West coast!

Here is my story! I have lived in So Cal on and off for the last 15 years. During this time I built and slamd a 1958 fleetside pickup. It has been in several Mags and on a few covers. Unfortunately, I built the thing to nice to drive! I have moved back to where I grew up in Klamath Falls, Oregon and have made the decision to sell my '58 and I have convinced my wife that I am going to buy a 1972 Blazer....ya know...so I can take the kids with us whenever we go places. It got kinda tight with 4 people in the '58.

Anyway, anyone interested in the '58 give me a call, But what I am really looking for in this post is to see if you guys are aware of some really nice '72's to buy. I want something that is restored "right", preferably with no more than 6" lift and am willing to pay up to $20,000 for the right Blazer.

Am I setting my sights to high by trying to get a restored nice truck for $20k?

To see the '58 click here:

You can get a nice one for 20k, just do your research. I have seen a couple really nice ones go on the board for less than that.
Good luck, and welcome to the board

cheyenne10 · 12-21-2004, 02:54 PM

Welcome to boards and good luck in search. If your willing to pay for good truck a nice one is probalby out there.

I sent you a few pms with links to a couple I've watched.

WELCOME 2 THE BOARD FROM WEST 10-UH-C

bouncytruck · 12-21-2004, 04:33 PM

Welcome to the board. $20K should get you a nice truck. There was a very nice 72 CST forsale in K-Falls this summer. I think it was going for around $12K. Someone else had one in Eugene that had a blown small block for around $25K. I think he was a friend of board member cheyenne10.

My parents are in Coos Bay, so I'll have them keep an eye open around there too.

welc0ome from illinois , hey does anyone know if dianes blazer sold or if she still has it , sounds like it would be exactly what hes looking for

slamd58 · 12-21-2004, 11:32 PM

Thank you all for the reply's. I like the blue blazer in Eugene but am somewhat concerned of the reliability and off road ability of a blown engine. I am not familiar with Blown engines other than they sound Awesome. Any insight from the group?

I also forgot to add that I want an automatic trans. I know....I know...picky..picky.

I also included a link to my website for the '58 on my original post. Was anyone able to pull it up and look at it?

Thanks again guys!

slamd58 · 12-21-2004, 11:39 PM

ooops forgot one other thing. If I find one without A/C but everything else, how hard is it to come by the parts and any idea of how much it would cost to add it?

thanks

bouncytruck · 12-22-2004, 01:06 AM

You can get complete AC systems for around $900. They even make some that fit under the dash.

slamd58 · 12-22-2004, 02:58 AM

Bouncy

Is that system OEM? or is it an aftermarket unit like Vintage Air? Is there somewhere that I can look/research the units?

do you recall or can you find the Blazer from K-Falls?

thanks for the help

The Blazer that was in K-falls was on http://www.collectorcartraderonline.com/. It was the pale yellow color (like board member bobbyk has). I'm guessing it sold.

Here is a nice one in Tacoma (sans A/C). It looks like it is at a dealer so the price is probably inflated and you won't get much history from them. http://www.dealsonwheels.com/search/...-200411-000002

Welcome to the board from southern oregon.... Good luck on your hunt for a clean blazer for what you are willing to spend it should not be to hard to find one..

slamd58 · 12-24-2004, 03:32 AM

Does anyone know anything about the blazer that Bouncy gave me a link to at the dealer Dealsonwheels. It is Turquiose and white and I think the dealer is in Tacoma. Anyone near Tacoma that might have some free time to run by and check it out?

red71cheyenne · 12-24-2004, 05:05 PM

I go on vacation Weds and could probably run by there next week if he still has it.

**special-K** · 12-26-2004, 09:53 AM

First off,welcome,love your Fleetside.Would you be considering a Jimmy?From TX?CaptHook sure has a nice one under $10k.Sounds like it would rally help him to sell`er.She`s, clean and loaded.

rolled72 · 12-28-2004, 06:04 PM

Couple things that wernt on your list,

1. its not on the west coast
2. its never been restored

Might not mind the travel and I dont think it needed it take a look at this one slamd58.

Well Everyone....today was one of those I will remember and probably regret

. I sold my '58 Pickup! Now I actually have the cash in hand to buy a Blazer.

I need to get something quick before the money finds other uses (aka...wife). I have found the really really nice Blue one in Eugene Or. However, I think 30K is a little much! Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated
thanks for the help so far guys. keep the suggestions coming.

blackcloud75 · 12-31-2004, 02:27 AM

**special-K** · 12-31-2004, 08:34 AM

blackcloud75 · 12-31-2004, 11:59 AM

You never get back what you put into it!!!!Blood, sweat, tears, $$$$$$.
I have I think around $30,000 but I know At the most I would get half of that, if I was lucky. All 3/4 ton drivetrain, new interior, new paint,etc.
