Wow... that one in Utah doesn't look bad for the price.

Would need to see some additional pics.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Worth a check... or a call at least.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I looked at it about 4 years ago ( different owner I think ) and back then it had some rust in the usual spots but not bad ( from what I can remember ). If I had $2000 to burn I would pick it up.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

That's not bad. If I didn't have to pay out $7gs this week for my dog I might have bought it. Although, I may still buy it if I can drive it home hahaha

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

That 73 looks real nice

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Thinking about going to have a look at the orange one in Portland , Anyone seen this truck in person or know anything about it?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I have seen it posted a few times on ebay recently.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Looks pretty nice from what I can tell , Same owner for the last 20 years. What was it going for on Ebay? Is it worth the 16K he's asking for it being that its a conversion and not an original 2wd?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Question with this being a conversion...

Was it done using a 4x or 2x chassis?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

it's a 4x4 body on a shortened 2wd pickup truck frame.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I saw the Orange one twice at the Portland swap meet, given it is on a truck frame, something about it seemed odd to me. It might just be the placement of the floor shifter, (seems pretty far to the rear) or something else But I do not recall anything specific about it at the moment. The first time I saw it, it was in primer and a little rough. This past year it was running and driving pretty much how it looks in the pictures. The gentleman was nice to talk to, I even bought a few small parts from him. Wish I could remember more details..

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Thanks for the info guys , I think i may pass on that one. My car builder gave me a shout lastnight and let me know a friend of his here on the coast has an True 72 2wd for sale , it's fully restored and also the same truck that got me interested in the blazers in the first place so Hopefully we can hash out a deal. It has a built 396 BB in it , anyone ever heard of these trucks coming with that engine? I know he has it mated to a late model 700R4 for the overdrive but I cant ever recall seeing one with a 396

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

No, they did not come with big blocks.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I didnt think so either , Yet there is a guy in CA on craigslist advertising one with a factory big block as well. Thats a sweet blazer 5150 , love the no header in the windshield panel !

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Wow, that 73 does look nice. 73-75 were known for their rust! Nice to see one that survived.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Out west here has a way of doing that ;)

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Hey guys new member here and have been looking for a 2wd blazer for a while. Im located in northern Alabama, but I am willing to drive to get what i want. I am looking for one of two things; either a previously restored blazer thats in decent condition that i can do a nice static drop and wheel combo on, or a roller to do a roadster build with. Budget will depend on the truck and condition.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Hey, welcome to the forum. This is a great resource.

Blazester has his '72 for sale. It is closer to you (in the Atlanta area). You could get it for around $20k, which in my opinion is a steal compared to what all has been done to it. I posted a few pics of it at the Auto Fair here in CLT on Saturday in THIS forum thread. He also has it for sale in the forum classifieds HERE

Of course, I wouldn't change much on his. It will go anywhere now. He's ran it on the Hot Rod Power Tour. It's already lowered (without bags). Of course, I am a daily driver guy. I wanna be able to enjoy mine everyday of the week, so I am not a big fan of airbags.

If I had the money (or the existing credit), that's the one I would be going for.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Mine (70 2wd) is getting a 70 LS5 454 T5 upgrade..so it can be driven as is will now suck the gas like never before...was getting 6mpg with a stock 90 454 muncie 4speed..LOL at least i can go 80mph now..when its done...:metal:


NOT FOR SALE enjoy the pic

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Thanks for the link although that is slightly out of my league. I guess what im really looking for is more of a "driver". I don't doubt that you can drive that anywhere but im looking more for a truck i can do small little projects on but still take to cruise-ins and stuff like that. The one in your link is to "complete" for me haha

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Hey guys, I have been a member of the forum for a while but have not posted.
I love the discussion on these 2WD blazers. I currently own a SWB 2WD '69 C10 with a factory wood bed. I have been considering selling or trading my truck for a 2WD blazer...anything in particular I should look for?
I live in Denver CO....if any one knows of one for sale in the area give me a heads up.
Nice to meet you all!

Here's mine for sale on Ebay:

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

@5150

That is very nice! I have seen it a few times on a few different sites.
Unfortunately it is not quite what I am looking for and probably more than I want to spend.
I do love the ride though!

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Bump any out there?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I just delivered my Jimmy back to the original owner, and for my asking price too.

They are out there,

Darren

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Mine is back on Ebay, it ends tomorrow. The reserve has been lowered.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I can't believe you haven't sold her yet! If I didn't already have one I would be on my way to your place to pick it up!!!

Who knows why I haven't sold it yet. I know the topless thing is a turnoff for some. Kind of figured someone in California would be all over it.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Quite a few going up for sale around there, aren't there. You sure keep a pretty good eye out Bouncy.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Mine may be for sale shortly and from what I've seen some going for, I won't get anywhere near what I'd like. :-( 1972 GMC Jimmy. Black, 68 chevy front clip, new (as in never driven) edelbrock performer 350, new 700r4, and possibly Porterbuilt's stage II kit. Not sure if he's started on it yet. I've slowly had to sell off my stable. These pics were taken before I bought her and she's probably not quite as clean now.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I hate to jinx it, but I gotta tell someone! (Of course, I already told GCBURDIC, he's a local though) I think (after an exhaustive search) I have found the project Blazer I've been searching for. Should know on Tuesday. It's pretty sweet and I have pics, but I KNOW that'll jinx it.
