Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build

This is the fourth 2wd 70-72 I have owned since I joined the forum. I'm at a spot now where I can build one up and keep one for awhile. This one is getting the full treatment...

I also picked up a 71 4x4 blazer project to tinker with while this one is being built. No pics or build thread for that one yet. It's getting some work done to make it safe/reliable for the summer.

Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build

Talked to my mechanic this morning actually - rotors, calipers and ball joints were replaced today on the project blazer after they dug into the front suspension... I think that's the last of the repairs so after confirming no more leaks from almost every possible spot including the gas tank - I should get the truck back this week (finally)!

I was wrong the alternator was the next thing to fail the inspection over the weekend - new alternator pending for the 71 Blazer project...
