Blazer wins again
 

Re: Blazer wins again
 

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t on this quest to make mine nice. It would be so much fun to just rally around as a hunting rig! Maybe I need another

The "other vehicle" was more of a competitor to a Jeep CJ5 or IH Scout. In just about every metric, the Blazer smoked it. The only downside to the larger sized Blazer is off road maneuverability.

I'm probably going to step on some toes here but i'm guessing the blazer was posi front and rear and the bronco was open both ends. i owned a bronco with 4:10s and posi front and rear and it would climb almost anything, it didn't like snow/ice and soft mud with posi front it wouldn't turn in the soft stuff, it plowed straight ahead. my 72 super K20 was also posi front and rear with 3:73s and would go almost anywhere too, just couldn't fit in tight spots the bronco could. i really like them both and they both performed quite well in the mountains here in the sierras. just my 2 cents.
my dad has owned 4x4s since the early 50s and i learned to drive in his 70 stepside 4x4, until he stopped driving several years back he could still scare the he!! out of me where he could put a truck and get back out.:crazy:

Tried to reply to Dirtscoots.
here is mine, I use it every day. 2000 corvette LS swap. Go wheelin in it, use it for work unless i have to carry a bunch of weight then its the f350. I love this thing, everyone tells me not to paint it or do the body work lol. its hard not to but I dont have to worry about scratching up a beautiful Blazer.

I would get rid of any body rot, then try to match the patina the best that you can.:chevy:

Re: Blazer wins again
 

I was going to do that but now i cant find the pieces to replace it. They used to sell the body parts/panels/plugs where teh rust is notorious (as you can see) that you can weld on instead of having to buy the whole quarter panel. I have searched and searched LMC doesnt have them anymore either. any ideas on this?

they always only have the front of the rear wheel, these trucks are notorious for rot in front and behind of all four wheels.
