The search has a happy ending!
Hey Fellas: I used to own a 1971 Blazer and sold it 3 years ago. I was buying a house and having my first child at the time. Now that my family and I are settled into our home I finally saved a couple of bucks to get another Blazer. So here she is a 1972 CST hugger orange with a white top, uncut dash and AC cab. Needs some work, has minor rust as it was an original Arizona truck for the 1st 37 or so years then in oregon for 2-3 years and now in California. It needs work, but thats part of the fun right? Well i hope the pictures came out all right and let me know what you think!

Re: The search has a happy ending!
Thanks guys! I got it from Salem Oregon. My wife needed a break from our kids so she decided that she would be the one to fly to Portland from LAX. The Blazer had the wheel bearings go bad as she was leaving the POs house. So The PO was nice enough to pay for new wheel bearings, a hub and labor at a price of around $400. I felt pretty uneasy about the reliability of an old truck so I met her at the California Oregon border in our diesel truck and car trailer. We drove back home together in comfort.

Re: The search has a happy ending!
road trips in new old trucks are always interesting. I flew to Seattle to pick up my blazer, then drove it back to Sacramento. Looks like you made a good purchase.
