I <3 2WD Blazers...

Slonaker

I agree...but he could sell the newer front clip to the 88+ loving crowd and purchase what he needs to keep it looking like a 77.

Why ya picking on me?

I am not the only one who said it...

so i could do if i wanted to right I'd just have to get the hood to right? I'd have to do some grinding and welding

68GMC454 · 05-30-2007, 10:30 PM

great score, always wanted a 2wd blazer,,hell even a 2wd burban..hard to find out here where im at..

Hey adam great find,

i'm having trouble determining what color it is, is it cherry or rust. I had a 77 k5 with cherry and white paint, the previous owner put the newer highback in it with a real wicked looking dark cherry velor fabric, I hated to sell it but had two young kids and a mortage to take care of and the gas was killing me at the time.
So what else do you have planned beside the dog house swap?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-31-2007, 03:16 AM

thats a sweet deal and looks like a pretty nice blazer to

You'll also need the cowl vent panel, and I beleive the cowl needs cut for the hinges, as they are different from the '80 and older trucks.....it's more work than just bolting on parts.....

Eyegore · 05-31-2007, 10:30 AM

You know these 2wd blazers are getting harder to find but look what I found on c/l this morning - 2 -77's

abebummy26 · 05-31-2007, 11:22 AM

If everything was bolt on then you wouldn't have individuality and all these trucks would be cookie cutters.

it's rust but I was thinking of painting it two tone with red and white, anybody have pics of a blazer like that? I'm not 100% sure about the front clip, looks like it might be more work than I thought and it would be nice to sell it and use the money on other stuff. I'm going to look for seats tomorrow, not sure if I want to do the interior in gray or tan yet? Hopefully I'll have my wheels/tires ordered the end of next week

I'm thinking something like these, I have a friend who can get me eagle wheels pretty cheap.

Eyegore · 05-31-2007, 10:52 PM

Those are nice wheels, are you going to put a little rake to it and larger tires on the rear? I like blazers to have a little nose down instead of sitting level. Keep sending us progress pics.

Like this red and white?

or this?

**N2TRUX** · 06-01-2007, 12:44 AM

Adam I put those Eagles in 22's on my 06 Chevy CC. I really like the way they look and they are easy to clean.

My two cents is keep the OE look. You have a great find there. You even have the bucket seats a console. Cool. You can find a good hood at a salvage yard. Anyway, that is my vote. But it is your truck.
