Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Neat truck, like the color too. My vote is for the rallys though

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Thanks. I've been following your build for awhile. She turned out awesome. On a side note, Are you planning on attending the Superrun this coming summer? I was thinking about heading down.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
I missed it in '09. I have been waiting for it to come back around. I think you have to pre-register though. I was thinking of bringing both my Blazer and my Shortbox.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
I love the color and the stance of your Blazer! But I'm a little confused. It has the '72 grill, but 6-lug suspension? I thought the '71-'72 2wd trucks and Blazers were 5-lug. Is it possible it's a '69 or '70 with a '72 grill? Either way It's bad @ss.

It is absolutely a '72. When I purchased the blazer I had already purchased the wheels for a different project. So I decided to convert it to fit the rims. Quite simple actually. Conversion axles and rotors from ECE and 6-bolt drums from my local parts shop. In total I think it cost me about $800.00 or so.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Current plans are to just drive it I am in the process of builing a 68 shortbox, so funds are kinda tight for a second project. When the 68 is driving I will probably put a 67/68 clip on the blazer repaint it the factory color and maybe bag it. Not really sure yet though.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Finally digging into my Blazer. She's in need of some major love.
To do list : New motor/tranny. 383/4L60 Interior refresh Replace leaky fuel tank Rear shock mount relocators and new shocks all the way around Maybe swap the front clip, depending on budget

Seat covers. The rest of the interior will be basically stock.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
The engine, picked it up from a buddy of mine. He had it in a Hot Rod, went for a big block instead. Pulled it out with only 5500km's on it. Works for me

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
I would love to have a factory 2wd that color.
It's one of my favorite colors on these old trucks. I hope you don't change it.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Thanks, it can only get better from here.
No worries. I don't see myself ever changing the color. Funny part is, when I bought the truck I couldn't wait to change it. Now I love it. It's just a very timeless color.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Pulled the clip, much easier to clean and detail this way. It'll be going back on, I don't think there is any money in the budget for the swap this year.
It's amazing how much crap can fill the nooks and crannies. The nice part is all bolts came off without any issues. A very pleasant surprise. I don't think I've ever taken one apart so easily.

Re: 72, 2wd blazer
Left work early today so I could pick the little man up from school. He told me he wanted to help finish taking the motor out. I was more than happy to oblige. Probably the longest it's ever taken me, but totally worth it
