Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
At least you are in the south and should have a little better luck finding one. I'm stuck up here in Maine where there is hardly a first gen blazer to be found, let alone a 2wd. Even if I could find one up here, it's more than likely to be a pile of rust.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Hey buck, I purchased a squarebody from your neck of t he woods. Pictures looked real good. When it arrived here I thought I would replace the interior from a rusty Michigan blazer I have. I got a good surprise after I removed the carpet. The complete floor had large rust holes. Removed the entire floor and replaced it with a pickup floor. I had to cut the floor in half from front to back to make it work. The roof even had rust holes. I have been working on it all winter. I have over 100 pictures of the work done the frame had large rust scabs on it. I bought some white vinegar and lemon juice at the dollar store and kept spraying it down and that stuff really does eat up the rust. I was shocked. Cut the roof off thru the cowl and behind the doors and did the same on my Michigan blazer. Got everything welded now and it looks pretty good but still needs work.
Don't worry about your cab corners Scratch your fanny a few times and it will all come together. No More Florida vehicles for me they are all yours my friend. |

If you want a 2wd Blazer to drive and have fun with, who cares if it HAD a front driveshaft. I went crazy a couple years back and put mine for sale; didn't get a single bite at 20g's! I've got that in receipts....never mind a factory canadian 2wd Blazer to start with. I'd convert one in a heartbeat!

There's no such thing as rust free on anything over 5 years old. There barely rust free from the factory. Even if it's been rebuilt and painted there's rust somewhere. I can believe low rust as a description though.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Somebody needs to buy this, before I have to get divorced. I even tried telling her that we could have his and hers '70 2wd's. It didn't work though. :lol:

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
I just stumbled over that one on Ebay and came here to let you all know. Does look like a good one. He just picked it up on CL recently?
|
Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
It was on CL around $10gs & I think that's tops for it. I wouldn't pay $16gs for it that's for sure.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Guessing having a top would be desirable?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
I paid right at $10k for mine, which was in a similar condition, only original paint but a little rust on the driver's rocker. Mine was bought with no top, and a junk interior which originally came with only a driver's seat, so I have more than doubled the cost on it since. Contrary to popular belief, most of the early Blazers that I have seen were fairly stripped down, but in my mind that doesn't make them any less desirable.
Do "I" think it is worth what he is asking? Yes. If I would have bought this one instead, my interior cost would have been much much less. Of course the suspension and drivetrain costs would have still been the same. BTW, it will have 6-lug drums on all 4 corners. |
