I got Blazed last night - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 08:35 AM

I've been Blazer hunting for a short while, found a decent 77 2wd this weekend. Needs some body work, looks like I'm going to learn how to paint. Worked on the engine last night (350 w/ a Quadrajet). I'll rebuild the carb & give it a tune up this weekend, ought to get it running smooth.

See if that picture works.
A cool history on the Blazer. A couple years ago a good friend of mine was looking for one. The mom of one of my wife's best friends was selling hers. She wanted too much & he didn't have enough. Saturday when we pulled up to the guy's house, my wife recognized it immediately. He said he bought it a couple years ago from a lady who had owned it for 20 years. That's it!
My wife grew up in this truck, even learned how to drive in it.
Anyways, this one is staying mild, I need it for a daily. Just need to get the engine running good, fix a few minor things, & get the paint & body looking good so I can park it near my house.
More pics to come.

Let me try this...

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 08:57 AM

I can do that method, here's the rest;

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 08:57 AM

I'll do one at a time so they show.

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 08:58 AM

Here's the beautiful front fender.

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 08:59 AM

Another shot.

bigblock73 · 05-04-2004, 11:54 AM

Greg, that is a cool looking ride! Can i ask how much you paid? I am selling mine and would like to know how it stacks up to yours.

Ken, the plaid rocks!

Jeff, I talked to CaptKaos about yours on Saturday. If you weren't so damn far away I would possibly consider it. Of course, I could always hook the trailer back up and go on another road trip.

What are you waiting for then?

I wonder why your 77 has low back buckets when mine has the high back buckets?

Mine is Cheyenne if I can recall, might be different trim package?

Izzy · 05-04-2004, 12:31 PM

Congrats.

Now who’s ugly black truck is parked in front of the blazer?

Jeff, he was asking $2500, I paid $2000. I know he bought it 2 years ago for $1800 or $1900. The tranny was supposedly rebuilt, but it doesn't kick down into passing gear. It's a 350/350 combo. Everything else works as far as I've been able to tell. Just a lot of dings and rust spots.

AirMale · 05-04-2004, 12:34 PM

I'm interested in your Blazer Jeff. If you shoot me a P.M. with your price we can talk

**swervin ervin** · 05-04-2004, 03:02 PM

Kool Greg. I've always loved 2wd Blazers.

79BIG10 · 05-04-2004, 05:31 PM

Sweet find Greg!! Now with me moving up to Wichita Falls we can both go looking/swapping 73-80 parts

Low87 · 05-04-2004, 05:46 PM

Thanks Mike! Going to have to try some of your improvement mods on this one.

Brandon, that is a definite yes! Don't they have that Dallas swap meet in Sept also? There hasn't been a good swap meet in this area in a long time.

79BIG10 · 05-04-2004, 05:50 PM

I think they do. It depends on who is putting it on. Dean Earhart had some issues with Ball Park in Arlington some time back and Great Southwest is usually the one to go to at that time.

LOHRTBT · 05-05-2004, 10:47 AM

Hey...one of these days you need to bring your new PISO down

Low87 · 05-05-2004, 10:51 AM

What do you call 2 dumba$$es that can't read a post right?

C&C Chevy and Dave!

I posted 2 other Blazers for sale near C&C since he said he was looking for one. I bought mine in Tulsa. No puking C&C, those are both available as far as I know.

Oh, I see.

Wish I had the money to work on one but I got to get my truck fixed up first.

oh ya, STFU! :p

LOHRTBT · 05-05-2004, 10:53 AM

I dont know what your talking about?
lol

Jonboy · 05-05-2004, 12:36 PM

Maybe the squat will go away after the top comes off.

Low87 · 05-05-2004, 12:38 PM

Don't know, how much do the tops weigh?

bigblock73 · 05-05-2004, 12:42 PM

About as much as Daves big toe!

The top weight, I would bet at least 100-150 pounds.

As far as adhesive and trim go...My Blazer has little square clips with adhesive on them holding the trim tight.

Cool, as long as my wife & I can remove it.

That might be what the squares I was seeing were. Thanks Jon & Jeff.
