Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

A lot of work put into this one. He has chopped it and the top fits. He's also cut the doors down to the bed height but figured out a way to keep door glass.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I've been waiting to see if this was possible. I'm most curious about what he did for the windows after he cut the door down. Is there just enough window there that all you need to do is cut it and re-do the felts/runners, given you don't tilt the windshield back?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

This one looks promising... ever seen this one Becker?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

No i havent seen it in person. I have a freind that is trying to buy it. he offerd him $4000 for it. He said he would take $4500 for it.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Rusty or solid?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Im not sure how solid it is. I will ask my buddy how the body is on it. This is the first 2wd jimmy i have seen up here for sale.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Kinda wish my Blazer had 4 eyes.....

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

When you roll the windows up the "sash" comes just under the belt moulding,just cutting the doors would hang the regulator above the new door profile. I see it has part of a jeep top mated to the Blazer top as well; car firewall, floors, frame? Hhmmmhh.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

You had your chance!!!!!!! Maybe now that your a little closer to being finished I will trade you.

Lemme sink more money and another hundred hours in, then maybe we'll talk lol.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Perfect.....

Got that hood done yet???

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I'm guessing that since he chopped the top, he had "extra" window so the regulators don't need to be all the way up.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Agreed, but the windows shape must play some role as well. Flat glass is easily altered. I see no reference to the flared wheel lips; lots of work that's for sure.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

:agree:

Anyone familiar with the one in Seattle?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I dont see the ac comp. still good deal on a cool truck. every chevy guy wants a ford 9" deep down

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

It's actually located in Vancouver Wa. I have seen it, but that was over a year ago. Still looks like the same pictures from back then. If someone is really interested, i could probably make a trip to check it out.. I also see it on the local Portland Craigslist

why does this look so familiar?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

He's had it for sale before, plus those pictures are from the same show that I posted pictures of it from.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

O I thought it might of been yours but didnt remember you shaving the top off and things like. that. is it worth 22k since youve seen it

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I would pay that much if I wanted something like that, but as it sits I would still want to change a few things based on personal preference.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

looks pretty nice just seems like roadster (no more top) option kill it for me even if I never am gonna use it

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

it's a roadster. The doors are cut flush with the bed rails.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Is there any other way to have one?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

That's right, baby!!!!!!!

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Always liked Ochre.. Big dollars, not really sure if it worth that! I hope so, just makes mine look better.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I thought there was more than 1277 made in '71, huh, feelin better about mine as well.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Mine will be posted for sale soon. When I can get some pics uploaded I will put it in the for sale section. 90%+ rust free, needs some to get running as it has sat a while. $5k in Florida

This is my Black 2wd. Not my old Yellow Avatar truck. That has been sold.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

show us those pics

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

90% rust free 2wd
rear 5% of bed would need repair.
All other panels were good or fixed.
Top of winshield has rust.
Rear welded roll pan
Front Fiberglass pan (some frame rail was cut off for fitment)
Shaved doors, gas filler, antenna

Engine is a 350/350 combo that has not ran in a few years since an HEI install I lost interest in when my son was born.

Probably needs a painless wiring kit as there was a short or 2 in the lights.

Pretty solid truck with a nice hard top. HALF top is not included (SORRY TO TEASE BUT I WAS NOT TAKING IT OFF ON MY RECENT TRIP TO FL JUST FOR A PIC.
Original seats (need redone)

Any ideas? any questions?

As stated I will get an offical ad up soon when I get my vacation pics downloaded as i visited her in strage and got engine and more.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Looks like a good deal if the initial work has been done right.

Glad to see this bttt. :)

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

That one is a conversion, it's been for sale a couple of times in the last couple years.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Was it in Portland for a while?
