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!

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

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)
