I don't think it would devalue our original Blazers. Look at the early Bronco - you can buy literally EVERYTHING to build a new Bronco from the frame up to the hard top. And the prices for original units have not been affected. Probably because the cost to assemble a new Bronco from all new parts is really high. If Blazer tubs became available, I believe the cost to build one would be highly prohibitive, and the asking price for a Blazer built on a repop tub would be comparable to an original restored unit in order to recoup the cost. There will not be a market flooded with cheap repop-tubbed Blazers any time soon in my opinion.
