My new 72 blazer 2wd project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jlo1986 · 01-26-2015, 09:19 PM

I just picked up this 2wd blazer last night. I am already looking for a top & seats. Next week i am having it lowered and will put on some rallys for now. The engine is a new 383 stroker/ turbo 400/ holley carb, headers. The paint job is cheap, but the body is straight.

Nice Blazer!

Yes it was in Los Angeles.. I missed out on 2 blazers the past few days. They sold the same day there were listed. I drove 340 miles for this one.

**GMC-YA68** · 01-26-2015, 10:44 PM

Congrats. Nice find. You will have a ton of fun with it.

61Cadman · 01-27-2015, 01:04 AM

Good find!! These blazers don't usually last long. I drive 2,000 miles to get mine.
Is it a conversion or original 2wd?
Run good?

61Cadman · 01-27-2015, 01:05 AM

Oh yeah,
Lets see some more Picts.

Jlo1986 · 01-27-2015, 01:09 AM

I havent taken anymore pics, but I will once i lower it next week. Im trying to hunt down a TOP and seats. I do have the stock bucket seats, but they are a mess. Im lowering the blazer 4/6 , drop spindles and flip kit and C Notch on the rear..

61Cadman · 01-27-2015, 01:16 AM

I saw a white top for your model blazer here in SoCal with no hatch for $500

61Cadman · 01-27-2015, 01:17 AM

What kind of seats do you have? I'm looking for the utility bucket seats with the metal back, and they are wider than the sport bucket seats.

A buddy gave me these truck Rallys. I just primered and polished tonight. The ride gets new tires, front and rear seats and lowered this week.

I have everything on hold for another week. The engine isn't running like it should be, so its in the shop right now. All the parts and seats and console are ready to go. I did prime and paint some old Rally Wheels that my buddy gave me to use for now. Here is a pic with new tires, still need to put on the rings.

Jlo1986 · 02-08-2015, 06:09 PM

Rear Bench seat is done. Here is a before and after pic.
