Re: Thinking of trading for a 70 Blazer
Welcome to the board. It looks like a solid truck but the photos are small and blurry. If you can get better pictures, that would help us.
The gearing isn't stock and is probably a bit overkill for those tires. If you're planning on going with bigger tires, it will be nice to have those already in there.
The body is one of the main things to consider. Any rust you can see probably has near double hidden. The truck looks like it's in primer, so I'd check for signs of bondo covering rust.
Lift the carpet (if any) - check the A, B & C pillars and unbolt the top and lift it to see if there is any rust in the windshield frame. Under the truck, behind the rocker panels are the torsion boxes (sometimes called rocker boxes). These are the structure for the truck when the top is off. If they are rusted, it is a big job to fix but reproduction parts are now available.
