How rare are 2WD blazers where you are?? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't recall ever seeing a 2wd squares in person besides mine, I've seen all of like 3 on craigslist...

i have seen a couple pre '73's around though..

**nlped** · 04-27-2010, 10:29 AM

Since I bought mine, I haven't seen one 2wd, but about a jillion 4wd. To bad mine looks like a 4wd

, but that will change very soon...parts are rollin' in

jbjburbs · 05-03-2010, 09:01 PM

I'm think about buying a 4x4 and making a 2wd, i can find a decent one in the midwest right now....well i'm cheap, so that doesn't help when wanting a 'rare' vehicle.

blu-by-u-2 · 05-29-2010, 12:31 AM

Seen another one today in a small town I was working in.It is a pretty blue color, been lowered, and was out in the country.Looks like a driver cuz it has definataly been washed. I work in that area alot and never seen it before.

Gemp · 05-29-2010, 01:08 PM

I seen a 77' GMC at a swap meet a few weeks ago. Stock,clean...asking 3,499. Worth every penny....The only one I have seen in person here,besides mine.

seth is usdm · 11-06-2010, 03:10 AM

theres typically 1-2 on cl. i bought the nicest one i'd ever seen on there imo. in the seattle area

sandnuriz · 11-06-2010, 04:15 PM

Not that rare here in this part of Cali. The trick is to find a clean one tons of junk and 4X4

Davidmichael · 11-06-2010, 04:32 PM

I have not come across one that's 2wd near me.

motornut · 11-09-2010, 12:45 AM

2 or 4 wheeler,they are rare here.
thats why i jumped on one weeks ago
I got my 4X4 a 3 hour drive from home
now seen a few in bits and pieces in paper since
they were popular up here for plowing snow/salt hence rare

d-666 · 11-09-2010, 04:43 PM

the exact same as motornut

BLE 'BURBAN · 11-10-2010, 12:48 AM

There are at least 3 that I know of in the Anchorage area. And since the Municipality of Anchorage is 130 miles driving distance north to south and about 20 miles east to west, That ain't very many for up here.

I must be one of the 3

. I had 3 when I lived in Fairbanks. The 74 I got last year (700.00) and have not started on it as I needed to finish (or at least get close) my 4x4 Van. Planning on starting on it next summer. Mine is the only 73-75 I know of and the others are 76-79 (one black one white) I don't know of any 67-72's. Seems to be a few Burban's in 2wd being used as family trucksters.

jbjburbs · 12-13-2010, 11:01 PM

not sure how rare 2wd will be now that you can buy a drop member (more and more options for this) and make any 4wd into a slammed 2wd. Sport Trucks just picked a $200 4x4 and put a drop member on it for their bagged k5 project. If i were building one, that makes more sense as i would probably bag it anyways...

thirdstreettito · 12-14-2010, 12:07 AM

There are actually more 2wd Ramchargers than there are C5's around here.

urone · 01-19-2011, 05:54 PM

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I guess I was lucky, I found mine in my home town of Albuquerque,New mexico. Had to have it shipped to Erie, Pa.As far as I know I have the only 2WD in Erie.

blu-by-u-2 · 02-04-2011, 01:26 AM

Well, It's been like 9 months since last 2wd sighting for me. seen one last night at the fosterfreeze.4x4's oh, atleast 2 or 3 a day.

Liddy71 · 09-04-2011, 09:18 PM

none in my aera mine is the only I have seen

pitbull73 · 09-05-2011, 05:46 PM

have not seen one here but the one i am working on at the present

motornut · 09-05-2011, 09:08 PM

In about a year I've only seen one from afar ,looked 4X4
just found one for parts.......or most of one.....with working plow!

**yote1234** · 11-18-2019, 06:35 PM

Reviving an old thread... after years of searching, about a year ago, i finally found two. in the same day. i bought both. a 1976 and 1978.
the 78 is undergoing a complete body off restoration.
below are pics of the 78 before and one during construction.
really like these!!

**Willowrun** · 11-18-2019, 09:58 PM

Looks nice. Are you going with a square headlight front end?
