Zach’s 72 blazer build
3 Attachment(s)
Picked up this nice and rusty blazer for the start of my build. It has lots of good parts just needs almost every piece of sheetmetal replaced or repaired. My dad and I just finished a ‘69 C20 so I figured this time I would actually document this build.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Welcome
I will follow along with your build. Any pictures of The 69 C20? |

Before and almost After. The windows hadn’t yet been installed in the doors.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
69 Looks good.
What is your plans for the Blazer? Will you keep it mostly original or big lift and custom stuff? |
Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Looks like it was a well optioned blazer. Nice find, and good luck!

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Good find. The tow hooks are a big bonus and the single wall top is nice. Any chance to see a photo of the SPID?

Drove over 1000 miles round trip this weekend but ended up with another blazer for parts. This one I will be using the body from and swapping some of the parts to from the red one. The floor and windshield are in great condition on this one and that’s why I bought it.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Cool!!
Now you are off to a good start. Awesome. |

Nice to have a spare tub to work with - congrats on the new project. Keep us posted with pix/progress.
Which color are you going with once you get that far? |

I’m using the frame, axles, and tub from the orange donor. The axles are 3.73s where as the red one just has 3.08s. It will most likely be painted back orange. The options between the two are actually pretty similar.

Been awhile since an update. I have since gotten a running driving donor blazer I’m going to swap the orange body on. I got a set of bedsides from GMCpauls and I’ve gotten the old bedsides removed from the orange blazer.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Great. / That donor looks to have a lot of parts . That will help a lot.
Looks like your well on your way. |
Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Tuned in.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Wow - nice work! How was the bedside removal? I will need to do this on one of my blazer projects in the near future. Please keep us posted on how the new ones go on as well.

It doesn’t look like much but I pressure washed and degreased everything one more time before I start body work and getting ready to put the new bedsides on.

Re: Zach’s 72 blazer build
Looking Good.
I like your progress. One thing I try to remind myself is/ Do you want it (Right) or do you want it Right Now (at Lesser quality). |

Spending the weekend stripping undercoating. It comes off pretty well with a little hand held torch and a putty knife.

I am in the process of removing the front clip. I chiseled 3/4 inch of tar off the bolts heads. It looks like someone drove this truck through a Fresh Highway paving Job.:lol: |
