Just wanted to say hello and thanks for having a place for us 67-72 Blazer/Truck fanatics to go. I have a 1972 K5 olive green Blazer that is in the midst of restoration. I have owned it for eight years and have never driven it (total basket case). After a body change and suspension work the project took a backseat(new home, job, two sons, etc.). I have been reading your boards for over a year and decided it was time to join. I have often thought of selling all my stuff but seeing others in the forums involved in and completing restorations motivates me to finish. My Blazer is as follows:
1972 K5 4" lift built 350, 4 speed 35" tires, GM rallies And boxes and boxes of new and used parts, chrome, interior(houndstooth), etc. to finish the project. I still lack a few items and may be able to find them here. So thanks for letting me be a member and thanks for the inspiration to finish my blazer.

Welcome. Like Yukon said - Pics - it doesn't matter what level of completion or shape it is in.

Welcome from Kentucky! Be careful with this board. It is quite addictive and you might wind up spending more time here than working on your truck!!
