I like the GPS on top of the dash.

Re: Blazer on ebay
I noticed those rivets. I took the picture. I'm the owner and know the previous owner pretty well (we both live in a town of less than 2000). I believe they are correct and have never been tampered with. Why would I post a picture if they are not. The tow hook was never a factory option, just added by first owner. The compass on the dash works fine and needs no batteries. I'd just as soon this one don't make my reserve so I can keep it.
thanks ypanic |

Good luck with the sale. I go through Blooming Prairie a lot on my way to Austin. There was a body shop in that town that was run by the guy at the liquor store I think. He had worked on a lot of 67-72 trucks and had a very nice one for sale there a couple years ago. Sometimes I see a yellow truck in a driveway just north of town there. Yours?

Re: Blazer on ebay
I'm east of town so not my yellow blazer. The guy you referred to is Roger Trom. He had his shop next to the liqour store and moved it about 8 miles west of town. He is a real perfectionist. He just does one at time and really is a chevelle guy at heart. Right now he is doing a 50 chev.deluxe coupe 60s gasser style. Geez, since you like all the add ons, I should go out and take a pic of the heater in the back. Aint right, but its cool and works great.

Re: Blazer on ebay
Hey, the main thing is that all the numbers match - Title, Vin plate and frame. For good measure, the SPID in the glove box.
I'm putting a new/clean cab on my Black 4x4, so I have to remove the VIN plate from the old cab. Got to rivit it back on with closet type rivits - I if you find 'em; GM Rose Bud rivits are a little pricey.

Re: Blazer on ebay
Unreal. First you have a blazer that's pretty much original and survived our northern winters without rusting away and then a 13000 mile ford that is in incredible shape.

Re: Blazer on ebay
its all about the chase. I believe your money ahead paying a bit more up front than doing the resto route. It took awhile in each case to buy them.

Re: Blazer on ebay
I believe that is true. And it's what I would do if I just wanted to have a certain vehicle. In my case, the building part is why I do it.

Re: Blazer on ebay
oh believe me I love the building part of any project. My problem is that I don't have the skills, tools, or time for it. Sure I can wax, change fluids, stuff like that but thats about it. I dig all older vehicles and admire people that do em, and that is why I enjoy this site. Lots of knowledge here. I threw one in there for ya!

Re: Blazer on ebay
Gorgeous Blazer, loving the single-wall top and the gun rack. I am guessing that isn't a northern truck, did you bring it up here?

Re: Blazer on ebay
I didn't say it was factory heater, but it works nice. The previous owner installed it with soldered copper lines and a valve under the hood you can shut during the summer. Could it have been an early 60 s air cond. unit switched to a heater? You have to remember to shut if off (he has it wired direct) or she sucks the battery dry real quick.

Re: Blazer on ebay
I think what I like most about that install, is the shag carpet.

Re: Blazer on ebay
Shag carpet goes with the blazer when it sells. Oh, this blazer was bought new at clements chev. in austin, mn. and has spent its entire life in mn.

Re: Blazer on ebay
First I'd like to thank everyone for the compliments!! It was pretty easy finding the frame stamp. 2f127297 which correspondes to vin tag. I took a couple a pictures and tried to zoom in so I could show em, but the el cheapo camera just don't take a decent photo up close. Anyhow the numbers are there and they match. The new owner should be happy that all numbers match up. I still believe the original rivets are in place and am movin on. Thanks again all!
