**SOON2BLAZE** · 09-24-2005, 11:22 AM

well it took long enough to get pics resized then I lost them. So here are some new ones, not sure how they will turn out. I'll post more, I've put in a new bezle and nicer radio,wiper and light knobs since I took the first pics. The passanger seats in my garage.

Wow, the body looks near perfect! That is a great score.

Congrats.

**SOON2BLAZE** · 09-24-2005, 12:24 PM

thanks! a tweaked rear bumber, dented drivers fender and a drivers rocker is all it needs. 67 gmc front clip coming soon (no hate mail please!) they guy I bought it from had the GM grill crome trim but he sold it between the time he agreed to sell and the time I paid him, so he's ordering me 2 1967 fenders from Goodmark at no additional cost to me ( he's the local Goodmark dealer) I have 2 67 chevy front grills so one may end up on it, we'll see what happens.

Nice Blazer, looks to be a nice solid foundation.

to the club.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-24-2005, 02:43 PM

Very nice.....

hotrodhomi · 09-24-2005, 03:28 PM

I wish I could find one like that.. if you don't mind me asking...how much did you pay for it?

Big Block · 09-24-2005, 03:49 PM

I't look's pretty straight and original. I see it has a factory 4 spd. What are your future plans for it? Where is Ivins Utah? I looked on the map for it and it wasn't listed under cities. My wife and I love Utah. We have been to Zion,Moab,Canyonlands,Bryce,Salt Lake, well the list kinda goes on and on. Great looking Blazer, I sure you will enjoy driving it. We want to see it topless. I know summer is about over. Make sure you have plenty of help if you decide to remove the top. If it is a double wall top they are heavy. It can be a little tricky the first time you try to take it off. You may already know there are bolts that go through the sunvisor brackets. Good luck and enjoy. B.B.

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-24-2005, 04:01 PM

Very nice, looks to be in great condition

**SOON2BLAZE** · 09-24-2005, 05:26 PM

I paid 7,500. which I think is a steal no matter what the wife says. I'll post some pics of the documentation that came with it. It has 59,100 original miles. Utah has safety inspections which state mileage. I have almost all of them, the 72 title, warrenty with the tin tag attached, owners manual and a delivery sheet. It's sick! Single wall top (bolts point down, right?) Topless, HELL YA! It's a little cool for my 1/2 hour commute @ 0500 but I have some time of this next week so maybe. Ivins is next to st george. 2 hours NE of vegas on I-15 As far as what I'LL do to it--- I'm gonna put some 67 fenders on MAYBE a 67 grill GMC ( no hate mail please, everyone has a chevy grill) but I've got a 67 chevy set up I might use, shaved side markers , 4/6 ECE drop kit with POL upper A arms - hope to put em on next week, Pace edwards roll up tonneau next spring, 87 TPI just finished building with vette heads and comp cams K kit ( everything but the rods and pistons ) Some 18's at some point and a gear venders overdrive or TKO 5 spd. I hope to do the seats in hounds tooth. Most likely change paint to a 67 vette Lindale blue. however, the bronze is growing on me. Really, I have a rash.

Big Block · 09-24-2005, 05:50 PM

I have a 72 CST 2wd Blazer but the body is rough, the funny thing is the floors are good the rocker boxes are shot. I'm with you on the 4/6 drop. I also have factory 4spd, thinking of 5 spd myself. I like the color, don't see it to often. I was at the Charlotte Auto Fair last weekend, there was a 72 2wd blazer for sale for $5900 but the thing was a bigger rust bucket than mine. The windshield post had holes in it. It had holes in the floor around the rear wheel tubs. $7500 might sound like a lot of money but your not replacing body panels and trying to patch up floor pans. Plus you have the original paper work. We stopped in St George on the way to Zion, Nice little town. Look foward to progress pictures. B.B.

I replazed zero(0) panels or floor pans - my blazer was 4000-

I still think it's alot...

oh and i guess it's 'coz i'm just a young wippersnapper but when i here the words "blaze" i think some one means "get high"

Big Block · 09-24-2005, 06:26 PM

Medicanman71 You got a deal, prices are going crazy on 2wd Blazers. It depends on supply, demand and location. If you live in the Southwest or desert I'm sure prices are alot lower than East of the Mississippi River. It's hard to find anything rustfree back this way. B.B.

**SOON2BLAZE** · 09-24-2005, 06:52 PM

medicanman71, I'm only high on blazer fever right now. And I'm burnin up! I'm proof that if you want something bad enough you can do it. I knew I would be getting a blazer when I signed up on this sight. Thats why I chose the name. Wish I would of joined about 2 years ago when I was reading the 67-72 truck posts. The info from other members is mindblowing. lets see some pics, PS I'm sure hundreds have asked, but where can you score a half top? I checked dynacorns site- nothing.

*72CSTC5* · 09-27-2005, 05:01 PM

That is a steal if you consider what it would cost you to buy all of the parts and cost of bodywork to repair a bunch of rust work that you do not know if the rust was all gone or not because these things rust from the inside out.
