new toy! 79 2wd blazer

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.

Re: new toy! 79 2wd blazer

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

Re: new toy! 79 2wd blazer

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?

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.....

Re: new toy! 79 2wd blazer

Re: new toy! 79 2wd blazer

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.

Re: new toy! 79 2wd blazer

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
