Picked up a 1970 Blazer 4x4 today!
I went and picked up a 1970 Blazer I bought today. Its been parked for 5 plus years so it needs a lot of work. I ended up giving the guy $1000 for it. Was a little more than I wanted to give him but blazers dont come up for sale around here to often. Here are some pics I took before I unloaded it.

That is a good price if you live in Ohio most of the ones around here you can see right throw the quarter panels.

How can you tell? It looks like it could be a Blazer with a GMC front clip to me.

Re: Picked up a 1970 Blazer 4x4 today!
It is a blazer with a multi-year GMC front clip. Has 69-72 fenders, 67-68 hood and im unsure on the radiator support. It will end up with my 70 GMC front clip on it probably, but I have a straight 72 one also.
If the rust isnt to bad I will assemble it with all my new parts and drive it until I have a place to do rust repair. It will end up with a 350/350/205, 14ff rear with lok-rite locker, 8 lug dana 44 front, 10'' suspension lift with 36''s.

If and when you get a minute, could you post up a pic of the hood and the intersection of the front of the front fender. I was always curious as to the fit of a '67-'68 hood on '69-'72 fenders

I have a 72 chevy truck now with the lift I plan on putting under the blazer. Im guessing on the 10'' because it has 73 and newer 8'' lift springs with a 7'' shackle in front and a shackle flip, 4'' blocks and unknown springs in the rear. I estimated 10'' compared to my 4'' lifted truck. It has bald 37''s on it now and its barely legal under the california lift law. The 36''s really werent that much smaller. vtblazer, I know what you mean about lift, tire clearance and trimming. You are correct. Im just getting by with the tires and wheels and lift that I have. Im kinda stuck with what I got until Im ready to spend the money on all new suspension. Here is a few pics of my 72 currently with the bald 37''s.

Re: Picked up a 1970 Blazer 4x4 today!
nice blazer.
i bought one several months back as a project for me and my girlfreind and its becoming quite the adventure and blast. ended up paying 700 for mine but its no where as nice as yours looked. i ended up going with a 6" lift w/ 38s and some trimming the blazer sounds like itll be one capable rig |

Re: Picked up a 1970 Blazer 4x4 today!
I went and ripped the carpet out of the blazer and cleaned the floors up to check the body condition. Here are some pics that I took.
