Found this in my travels searching for a rearend, even the same color as mine.

It is in Washington. Tacoma to be exact.

Which yard and did they have other trucks 67-72?

That is exactly like my Blazer. Can't tell what year from the pic though.

jostrans68. I believe every yard I went to had at least one 67-72. Pull a part in Tacamo had a Suburban. Airport auto wrecking in Bremerton has about 15 of them. R and R in Tacamo had a few as well. I go to the yards alot, mostly looking for 2.2 turbo stuff so I can rebuild it. Let me know what you are looking for and the next time I am out surfing the yards, I'll let you know what I find.

Are you searching junkyards at night ? A rear-end might be too heavy to throw over the fence.

J/K !

LMFAO! No I got there at about 4:45 in the afteroon, the sun was almost down out here in WA. But if I think I could have gotten it over the fence...well lets just say they wanted 450 for the rear end in that thing, crazy. I got mine rebuilt with with an Eaton posi, new ring and pinion and bearings for 728 bucks.

Factory 402

There was never a factory big block in a Blazer, any year, ever.
