new toy! 79 2wd blazer

[bagged74]

I happened on to this blazer on craigslist and just couldnt pass it up. I was delighted to see that it was actually in a little better shape than the owner had described. I have only found a few rust bubble and some light surface rust on the whole thing.
Everything on it works right down to the cruise control. And i think it is complete. It even came with all new GM weatherstripping for the doors windows, top and tailgate brand new in the GM packages.

It also has a new 700R4, 3.73 gears, eaton posi, and strange axles. as well as new a/c lines, radiator hoses, and 4 row radiator.
I havent found anything on the truck that does not work yet. Its going to make a great cruiser.............after i lower it and put some wheels on it.

Looks like another great find man... were the mirrors the 1st thing to go?!? lol

[72BlckButy]

Nice score! Do you ever slow down...

Can't wait to see that thing on the ground and rolling on some nice wheels, keep us posted!

[tvblazer78]

Man!! you buy and sell blazers all the time. Looks like you will have a good start..

[Crush]

damn Tracy...looks like a GEM! sure it'll be rolling on nice shoes soon!

[bagged74]

yeah i go through alot of blazers. i think this one may be a keeper. it will definitely be getting an altitude adjustment and some new shoes quickly. other than that i think i will just buff the paint and cruise it this summer

[N2TRUX]

Dude you totally scored on this one. It looked a lot more red in the first pic you sent. Is it the lights in your garage or is it not red?

[CLASSIC87']

This one...

[bagged74]

yes its red. it is faded and oxidized but its red. i think once i buff it it will have just the look im goin for. the shop lights make it look kind orange.

[jdurant]

I was thinking: Wow...copper with red interior...interesting.
That makes more since. Nice find.

Your going to have to make a very equitable offer for him to sell this one. His Dad and brother have already hit him up, and he turned them down. We all know money talks, but I'm pretty sure it's going have to talk BIG to get this one.....

[bagged74]

yeah, what he said....lol.
seriously though everything is for sale.

[tobiahr]

is it just me or is there a driprail over the rear window? I have owned a few blazers and have never seen that on one. does anyone know if that was a factory option or a aftermarket addon?

[bagged74]

yes there is a driprail over the back window. it looks like the same one that is on a suburban. i cant say for sure whether it was dealer installed or not.

[Hoods69BadBowTie]

Sweet looking Blazer sounds like you got a great deal on it. Can't wait too see it with new tires and wheels.

[bagged74]

Finally had a little time to clean it up. I bolted up the wheels and tires for my 72 blazer project since they needed washed too now im lookin like a DONK!!
The wheels for this one should be here next week but i will be gone on vacation..
Definitely time for an altitude adjustment when i get back.

[CLASSIC87']

Are you going with the same style & size of wheels? That thing is going to be sick man...

[bagged74]

I ordered a set of 22" Coys C5 wheels for this one. My wallet is still trying to recover from buying those Billet Specialties wheels for the 72 last year

[CLASSIC87']

Yeah I know the wallet feeling... been there and still there too! lol Those will look awesome... a simple clean and classic look.

[PBFAB.COM]

Very clean... you need to send it out my way in the fall so I can do a rear kit on it, it's the perfect candidtae!

[68Timber]

Very nice.

[tvblazer78]

Love it man!!!
