I bought this 87' about 6 months ago for $800 :lol:

Haven't really done anything to it yet because I wanted to go over the whole thing first. I peeled back the carpet and discovered the floor in front of the tailgate is gone from rust. And the tailgate is sealed shut. :rolleyes:

But for what I spent on it and after a complete tuneup the damn thing runs like a top. The oil spots are from an old truck I used to have.

Future plans include 4" rough country springs in the front and an ORD 4' shackle flip in the rear. Some new tires 33's or 35's.

todds3535 11-28-2004 10:08 PM

I meant 4" shackle flip, not 4'. :crazy:

Brake light
 
Hey Bagged, very nice. By the way, is that top picture (blue Blazer) the one with the third brake light in the tailgate handle? If so, that is the best idea I've seen in a while. :metal:

I'd like to do something like that before I paint mine.

bagged74 11-29-2004 09:38 AM

yes, that is the one with the third brake light in the tailgate. It is pretty easy to do, the hole is pretty big after you remove the handle.

Here is mine... she is a 1976 Cheyenne model with Dana 44 front, GM 12 bolt rear, THM350, unadulterated NP203 fulltime 4wd, and a Jasper rebuilt 350 all turning 33x13.50 Super Swampers with no lift.

Cool Blazer, drink2mny. I can get a general idea of what mine will look like before I lift it. I'm only going 4" w\ 33's though. Seems that red & white paint scheme was very popular for them. I've seen quite a few.

Hey boz42, saw the flex pic in your profile.
Very nice!

thegame55974 01-08-2005 11:04 AM

Picked this one up last night for $1750. Used to own it back in 2000 when it still was a Blazer. Kind of like an old friend coming home. Haven't stopped smiling yet. Needs the 38" Boggers back on though. :metal:

kevinr1970 01-08-2005 01:16 PM

thegame, whats the story on the back window? How do you have it sealed off?
I am supposed to be getting one of those cab sealers made be Creative Products from a guy locally but its been a phone tag/time issue thing trying to get it. The way he had it set up was he made his own "bulk-head" using plywood and 2x4's instead of buying the one they offered. I can make one through work as we have full fabrication facilities, but would like some ideas of going about it.

thegame55974 01-08-2005 03:16 PM

I hope you can see these pictures. My camera is really getting bad. The back is actually the rear of a late seventies Chevy with some adding and trimming where needed. It has a 10 to 12in section cut and relocated basckward to provide some room in the interior down by the floor which I use for speaker placement and odds and ends. The whole thing was finally welded into place. The factory roll bar was extended to the frame and added on to get the height up. Still don't know what I will do for a tailgate. That would look alot better than the airgate. Just driving home last night, I couldn't believe the confused looks we were getting. Now, driving this thing again with the new lift kit, I wouldn't buy anything but BDS. I can direct you to the guy who did alot of this install. Now, off to melt some snow! Later, Nate

kevinr1970 01-09-2005 12:53 AM

So lets see if I got this straight.
You took the back of a cab from a PU, and then welded it in to cover the opening? So this is a permanent deal then?
I thought about doing something similar with cutting the rear of a cab, then making a plate to match up to the blazer cab. Weld the two together to make a removable cover. It would be a bolt on piece. Lots of work to do though.

As for your tailgate issue, my GF used to have an '81 2wd swb and I have a '81 GMC Jimmy. I measured her truck tailgate against my Blazer tailgate and came away convinced that you can bolt a truck tailgate in place of your Blazer tailgate. On my Jimmy the holes/weld nuts to mount the brackets for cable supports and latching mechanism were there. I don't remember exactly, but I remember thinking the tailgate hinges would bolt up as well? So much so I bought a nice tailgate when one came up to have for when I make this conversion.
You should check your Blazer against a truck, I bet its the same.

PS - Whats BDS?

Jonboy 01-09-2005 02:19 AM

A pickup tailgate will bolt right up on a Blazer. Grab the hinges and strap/striler as well, and bolt them right up. I have one on my Blazer right now. Since I got rid of the roof, I didn't need a window and all of teh other stuff. The holes are even where you need them.

thegame55974 01-09-2005 12:07 PM

When I first saw my old Blazer after about five years, I was thinking, this thing used to have a sun roof. I didn't provide enough info in my last post. It actually has part of the roof section of the 77 pickup welded and smoothed out as well. Kind of wished they had left the sun roof there. They did an excellant job. Thanks for the info on the tailgate. Gonna have to give it a try. First nice tailgate that comes in to the salvage yard here is mine. BDS=Big Dicks Suspension. The Blazer has a 6 in. lift. Won't ever use a body lift. I also use Trailmaster shocks. Very happy with the whole setup.

Fry 01-09-2005 12:42 PM

heres my 75
was lifted 4" on 33s and 3/4 ton diffs but bought a daily driver 4x4 so converting it to 2wd laid out on bags. Not certain how far I'm going with it, its on hold right now till I get my 28 tudor sedan done.

goldwing2000 01-26-2005 09:54 PM

I'll post pics once it stops freaking snowing and I can wash all the salt off the damn thing but in the mean time, this is how I bought it:

1989 Blazer, black
350 carburetor motor (who knows how old it is)
TH350
NP205
Warn Hubs
6" susp lift (blocks rear, springs front)
10-bolt up front
12-bolt in back
SUCK-ASS 2.73 gears (wish I had known that before I bought it)
35x12.50-15 BFG MTs on 15x10 black steelies (just bought today)
no radio
heater direction door is malfunctioning
already rebuilt three or four wiring harnesses
needed a COMPLETE tune-up
rear of bed by tailgate rusted out from having the back window stuck open 6" for who knows how long
blown-out upper ball joints and pitman arm
Headers leaking

*sigh*

But fixing them is half the fun, right? Just wish I could have been the one to break it. :rolleyes:

Have to say, it does look good, though. The tailgate area is the only bad rust and that's a frickin' miracle around here.

Oh, almost forgot... it's got a massive hillbilly front tube bumper with integrated... well... ramp bars, I guess. I'd call it a skid plate but it's so much more than that. Heh. You'll see. :lol:

dont have any of them left.. :whine:

kevinr1970 05-05-2005 04:03 PM

OK, finally got it to a point where it is worth taking a picture.
1982 K5 2wd Blazer ('85-87 grill)
T350
350 crate w/around 100,000 miles (was in my '85 K5 I bought as an insurance total, then in my '79 Suburban, now here!)
I bought the rims already powdercoated with newer trim rings and new centers, I was told the rims were OEM new then PC'ed and driven for a summer then stored for two years before I bought them.
255 60 15 rears, 235 60 15 fronts - when I have a few extra $ I'll put the 255's on the front and buy new 275 60 15's for the rear. Way too much space around the front tires!
Looks decent in the picture which doesn't show how bad the rust is, or how crappy the paint is. It works pretty good for a driver though.
My friend has a '89-91 core support and grill - all parts except the trim that goes around the lights. I might do the conversion in the future after I get a few other issues worked out.
Edit: I have a nicer front bumper and a near perfect air-dam I need to put on. The bumper is striaght but is pretty tarnished, the other one isn't much better, but it is much brighter.
