Hello from the newbie!
Hello all,
I came across this site a couple of days ago and have read a lot of the messages - a lot of good info. The pictures of all the rides was what really got me fired up! I have a '72 Blazer that I got off the family farm back in '95 with 80,000 miles on it (now 105k). It's pretty much your run-of-the-mill Blazer: 350, auto, 4X4, 205, sgl wall top. I have many plans for it and have taken care of all the power train except the motor. The body is another story - 30 years in MN takes care of the rocker boxes and rocker panels. It's very solid from the moulding on up! I look forward to sharing ideas and stroies - mainly getting inspiration to get out there and work on it! Later, Paul P.S. I can't seem to post my pic. I'll have to try again!

Welcom from Atlanta GA
Your Blazer sounds like mine. Looks good and sounds like you've got a great start on it. I sure is nice that rocker boxes are now available. Looking forward to hearing your progress and plans.

Welcome to the board. If Gee-Emm can fix the rust on his Jimmy, anything is possible!

Definately! I would like to check out your Blazer and get an idea what my rocker boxes USED to look like!

My rocker boxes are perfect (Montana truck), but the rocker panels will need replaced. You're welcome to take a look anytime. PM me your phone number.

Welcome from Fort Worth Texas.
Ive only been on the borad less than 2 months and they took me in like a brother. Good folks here and I've learned more about my 72' in the last 2 months than I have in the 16 years I've owned it.

Hey, is that a shot at me :p Actually I am basically replacing every piece of metal on the Jimmy with parts from other trucks. I am making a Jimmy cab using a pickup cab with the roof chopped off and shortening a LWB bed floor. The only original sheet metal that will be remaining is the glove box door and the cowl cover. It is possible |

Paul,
I like that painted bumper! It's pretty unusual for a blazer! Have fun, Brian |

Brian -
That's the stock bumper (repainted). The '72 P/U came with white bumpers as well.
