I'm getting ready to start a build on a 72 2wd. I want similar seats to the ones you have. Do you have any more details on making them fit and hooking the wiring up? I'm interested in the front and rear seat setup that you have.

Thanks.

I bought a 2001 Chevy 2500HD standard cab and noticed the driver/passenger bench seat in it is similar to the seats in this blazer with one exception: They fold forward, though they don't slide forward in addition to folding forward.

Looks great man, nice work.

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
 

Very nice blazer! really like all that you have done. Quick question for you. I am doing the same conversion on the clutch master cylinder and pedal. I was wondering how you came to the location where to conect the rod from the master cylinder to the clutch pedal. I have a 3/4 bore wilwood cylinder also and just want to make sure I mount it up correctly. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
 

I missed the patriotic pics on the 4th. Man, your Blazer turned out amazing! I love the paint, wheels and everything. First class all the way. More pictures please.

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
 

Needs a video! How do you like the NV4500/5.3?

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
 

Thanks everyone! The soft top is from Softopper out of Boulder, CO.

This is from a surprise party in late April for one of my good Marine buddies homecoming from Afghanistan- complete with new hidden flag mounts behind the rear bumper and soft top sides rolled up for keg access...:alc:

Great build. What are you getting for mpg on the E85? also what did you use for a gas filler door? i like the small size of it, blends in nice.
