My 1972 Blazer CST 4X4

[dtlilly]

This is the Blazer I bought last year to restore. It has only 64,000 original miles, since the old man only drove the truck when it snowed. Everything is as original as it came from the show room floor. Everything is un-touched right down to the air cleaner and heat riser, spark plug heat protectors, original lock outs, hub caps, radio and below dash speaker, behind the seat tire storage loop, and jack equipment behinf driver seat. Of course belts, hoses, tires, plugs, etc have been changed, but I have yet to find a Blazer as complete as this one.

The body has typical Wisconsin rust in the body. The tailgate mounting hinges have rusted away so the tailgate won't stay in place. The windshield frame and firewall actually are quite clean. The single wall top has no cracks in it anywhere. The hatch needs hinges replaced because it is frozen in the down position. The deluxe medium blue interior is very nice, except for 2 rips in the drivers seat. The center console is perfect, as is the rear seat, passenger seat, rear side panels, sun visors and door panels with woodgrain.

The motor runs great and has no smoke, knocks, rattles, shakes or shimmies. The tranny shifts well, and the 4X4 locks in and operates as it should. The exhaust is loud from a bad donut on passenger side and a hole before the muffler. The brakes will stop the truck, but there is a leak somewhere in the system causing a resevoir to be empty. The A/C compressor clutch turns freely.

What are my plans? They are up in the air right now. I will let everyone know my plans as soon as I know myself.
