New life for an old 2wd, farm Blazer

[turp mcspray]

First a little background. This blazer was purchased back in the mid 70's, by the current owners father. Eventually it was taken over by one of his sons, Joel. (Joel is a forum member here) It was used as the family truckster, and eventually served farm duty in south central S.D. It was used hard, like most farm trucks are. Used as a field vehicle, driven by kids that were much too young to be driving, etc. It has been rolled twice. Once by a twelve year old cousin, and once by Joel's brother. Joel said that once upon a time, the rear hatch fell down on his brothers head, smashing his face into the tailgate, and knocking out his front teeth. Ahhh...the memories! It spent several years at a body shop, that didn't do it any favors. I met Joel here on the forum. He asked if I might be interested in doing some work on the blazer. Being a blazer lover myself, I said YOU BET!
It is a non CST blazer, but has lots of options, and a GREAT color combo.
I will try to post pics on a regular basis.
