1978 Chevrolet blazer
Picked this little blazer up yesterday. Only rust I found was behind rear wheels. I am presuming that the brown on it is not original and that the top should be white. I welcome any comments good or bad

I have the chrome strips for the side but are the clips that hold them on available?

RPO ZY1 indicates solid paint (yellow) so the brown was added after the fact. K

Is the rear panel on the tailgate correct? The 6 inch wide stainless strip? I thought those were for later ones but I see them on most 78s Posted via Mobile Device |

One last question. The wagon wheels I believe are original but would they have had beauty rings on them from factory? Sorry if a dumb question.

Re: 1978 Chevrolet blazer
Nice find, love the seats. I didn't know you could get dual exhaust from the factory. I have always loved blazers but never bought one....yet.

I think the Chevyenne pickup gets the narrow one in '78, because of the depth of the tailgate, but the Blazer gate doesn't have that depth, so - I'm going to say the one shown is correct. The font of the "Chevrolet" lettering, though, looks like '81 and later to me. http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/GMTru...zer-07_jpg.htm K
