My Blazer "P-wagon" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gringoloco · 10-05-2006, 12:54 AM

Picked this one up a few months back and have been upgrading little things here and there since then. It's a '72 beach cruiser from RUST FREE California. SOLID truck, er, Blazer.

Took the top off, hung it in the garage when I bought it and hasn't been back on since.

It got a new steering box, pump and lines courtesy of a blown seal. I upgraded the tunes with some new speakers, previously there were none. Lowered 2" in back with blocks. Oh yeah, van side markers.

I am now in the process of bolting on a ProCharger if I can find a way to move that pesky booster and M/C. Also awaiting a shipment from Suicide Doors with the rest of my air suspension.

Future plans include a back seat and front buckets, 20" grey center torque thrusts and most likely a color change. Hmmmm... that '68 front clip I've been saving would look very nice in blue...

I know

i'd keep the front bench, it's cool! It would be better if it was a split bench so you could get in the back easier. But with the top off it almost doesn't matter. Nice truck

Very nice Blazer!

**special-K** · 10-05-2006, 07:27 AM

Wouldn`t change a thing.Is the option sheet there?What do they call that color?I have a Blazer(not near by)that color and I swear it says Wheatland yellow.But,I`ve seen that brighter yellow called that,even on Auto Color Library.

Yeah, it's upholstered so that I can't flip it forward. May have to remedy that- the bench is kinda growin' on me.

Dunno on that one, the glovebox sticker is long gone. I know it's been painted but can't tell if it was originally this color or not. Never fear- I'll dig into it some more soon.

bouncytruck · 10-05-2006, 01:41 PM

Looks nice. Wasn't that ride for sale here on the board a while back?

I vote for buckets & a rear seat, but it's your ride, do as you please. Post some pics when you get the new shoes on it!

Blizz · 10-05-2006, 03:06 PM

you need to put a 6" lift on it with some 35s.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-05-2006, 04:13 PM

NICE blazer!! Looks like a solid foundation. And I thought I was the only one that referred to my Blazer as a "P wagon".

It's kind of a joke. This thing is a repellant for women my age- works good on the 40 and up crowd though...

Anyone who has seen Kill Bill will appreciate this, everyone else will likely be offended.

bouncytruck · 10-06-2006, 04:54 PM

I'm offended!

I used to drive a 5.0 mustang convertable. My friends called it the "Poontang!"

84 400 · 10-06-2006, 05:06 PM

ah ah ah there is a truck for sale on gmc pauls web site that looks kinda like the P wagon from kill bill. Very nice blazer man I like the bench in yours

Yeah, this is where I found it. Had to drive a little ways, but well worth it in my opinion. Wasn't even really in the market for one, bu tcouldn't pass this one up.

Here's a chop by scorp of what it will look like- just imagine grey spokes on the wheels...

kyle4381 · 10-07-2006, 12:46 AM

Looks like you scored a clean little ride...

gringoloco · 03-24-2007, 01:02 AM

It's bagged now on 20" Coy's. Teaser shot. More pics can be found by clicking here.

That's the principal I use in everything I do. It's very complicated sometimes making things look simple...

I really like your Blazer. The wheels and tries are outstanding. The drop is perfect.
