New to me 70 Blazer

What's up ya'll?

Just purchased a 1970 Blazer CST. It needs a lot of interior work and has plenty of rust. I have a few recommendations for some hobbyists that weld and do good body work on the side. Otherwise its a running and driving K5 with a 454/SM465. I've noticed a few other things that need to be fixed with that. The front drive shaft is a little too close to the passenger side exhaust header flange and the steering is pretty loose. I've learned a lot from reading here the past two weeks hopefully I get to apply it soon.

Looks like a good start to me. Can't go wrong with a big block. Get everything else the way you want it, then tackle body work...

Re: New to me 70 Blazer

Thank you guys.

The way it runs it shouldn't take too long to get it to the point where I'm comfortable driving it around. Although the interior needs help. Desperately...
