Looks like another project coming
Sorry no pics, not that you would be impressed with this beater anyway.
I had mentioned in my junkyard build thread that I knew a guy with a 2wd blazer for parts. I bugged him for over a year off and on and I think we finallly worked out a deal. I got a pretty good blazer tub from a member in AZ this summer, which I originally planned to use for the junkyard jimmy, but always kept in my mind that 2wd parts blazer. The current owner wanted it for the driveline. The engine went to a relative, and he wanted the front and rear suspension for the 5 lugs, the disk brakes and the posi rear. I found another set of 72 front end parts so he won't tear that apart, but I'll have to find an axle. The body is completely scrap. The top is kind of wrecked too, it had stuff piled on it and some homemade racks bolted through it. It's warped beyond repair I believe. dash is cut up, not just the radio. Has a rear seat, hatch might be repairable, windshield frame is junk, etc. So for around $250 I'll get it minus the rear axle. The frame has some rust, but I think its all fixable. It's mostly around the rear crossmembers where the springs sit. I wont be getting it for another month or more. He's a farmer and busy with harvest and I have plenty on my plate now too. But even after I have it, it will be a long time before I really work with it. My truck is the current priority. Just wish me luck please and when work happens, you all will be the second to know.
