Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

It's the factory single wall top that I repainted. I will post more pics later that's the factory medium blue that one of the previous owners sanded but not all the way so it has a patina look. With some bare metal areas but I clear coated it with satin so it's protected the drop is 5.5 in front and like 8 in rear

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

I had a 72 2wd Blazer when I got married. Blue with a white top, no real options other than ps & pb. It was a 350, 3 speed, 4:11 posi. Fastest thing in town for the first block
Seeing some of these beautiful trucks makes me kinda sad......

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?

Got some more work done last weekend. You can see the faux-tina in this photo. My dad was a little irritated that I "ruined a good paint job"

And the logo is a throw back to the company that 3 generations of my family worked for. (except me... they closed operations back home in 1985.)

more photos in the build thread!

Didn't last 24 hrs on Craigslist. Person who bought it pretty much bought it on the phone. Sent a guy with cash and a tow dolly and it was gone. It really needed everything. I sold it back in 94 to a friend. He was going to do a frame on lite restoration. Most of the work completed was amateur at best. I just didn't have the place to do the frame off that it deserved. I bought it back from him in 2010 after it sat in pieces for about 7 years. The front clip was off along with the doors. Brought it home and put it back together and had it running again but like I said all the work he did to it was going to have to be repaired or replaced. The front floor pans and rockers were a disaster. I know I probably won't find another one I could afford to buy but I already have 72 Blazer and GMC Long bed. Not enough time, finances or a place to store them all, much less to keep them all up.

I've been looking at the flat black for so many years, I can't imagine it any other color. no offense, intended, but that truck is a part of the forum as is.

heck, I remember that build as a 4x4, when I first got here generations ago lol

Yup, bought it in 2004 from a Board Member, then somewhere
around 2007-2009 decided to destroy it and build my dream. I
am getting it closer everyday, but can't just spend money on it
like some here do. Wife first, House second, Life is third. Guess
I need to hurry up and finally finish it cause I just bought this.

1970 Factory 2wd Frame & Chassis (Except rear end) + Vin tag
(Will be selling 71/72 Bumper and Trading 71/72 rear for a 70)

The other is a Blazer, he will not part with it, I would have loved to have snagged both!
So the fun begins on this one!
