ooooooo. That's right down the road from me. What am I talking about, I haven't even touched the one I have!!!!!!! But would be cool to have one of each 4x4 & 4x2. Hmmmm Christmas present for the wife? Maybe I'll throw out a lowball and see. Looks decent from the few pics there.

MAN! factory buckets, A/C, CST! Looks fairly complete. Someone ought to go buy it, if nothing else it might be a good investment. The driver door doesn't seem to have the extra bracing bolt on the inside that a 72 should have. I wonder if its had some sheet metal replaced? Can't tell for sure if it is a single or double wall top.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

I send him an email. Took a while I had to join up on the site to do it. If nothging else I'll go check it out take some better pics and who knows.

71 door but titled as a 72 or is it a misprint? I can't tell if the rear view mirror is on the windshield frame or the windshield..

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

IIRC a lot of the 71 Blazers had the extra bolt, a mid year change I think. Trucks first got it in 72. I also zoomed in on the rearview, looks like it's the bracket type but hard to tell...early 71 maybe???

71 door panel...

the body on that thing looks like its in excellent shape. the price may not be too terrible if its really as nice as the pic look.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

Make a nice DD if nothing else :metal:

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

I sent an email yesterday too with no response. Must not want to sell it too bad!

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

Yeah no reply yet here either. That town is very small and the pic looks like a mobile home park? Maybe I'll drive around a bit and see. I should've done it today, but didn't have a chance. I'll post if I get a chance to see it or get a reply. My '70 Jimmy has the little screw things on the door? Is this what you are referring to?

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

In 72, there is a screw in a similar location, but it is recessed into the door panel and holds inner and outer skins of the door together at that point.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

Did anybody ever get in touch with the owner or buy this thing?

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

That thing looks like a great start.... a little high for me, but if the pictures are true, it is definitely worth the price.

Not mine, but now its listed on CL with better pics. Its in the next town down from me so possible to check it out if someone is serious. I got "permission" to get it myself, but don't want to give up any of the current projects! I haven't seen it yet either.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

its sold..not to me unfortunately

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

Man that was quick, did it go for $5K ???

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

5K seems a little steap.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

:agree: I think I need to raise mine after seeing that :hm:

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

Am I right to say that 5K is not a bad price for a fairly solid 2wd these days? wow just think what that thing would have gotten 10 years ago

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

It was a rust free Texas truck. Repairing rust ain't cheap.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

It may be in Texas and seemingly rust free, but $5K; It would take a bundle to get it going.

Look at the one LUVXCLR8 is selling, and then say $5k is fair for that one. If $5k is the going rate, then you do need to raise the price.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

if it is as solid and rust free as it appears in the pics , then $5k is a fair price. it also looks to be pretty complete which is a big factor also. rust repair and body work are very expensive, with this truck you can see exactly what you are getting. there is no evidence of previous repair , so there shouldn't be any surprises when you strip it down for paint

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

I agree, but anyone that owns a Blazer / Jimmy know that the tops leak
(Some more than others) so based on the pic's it's a great deal, but ....
ya have to wonder if the insides as unmolested as the outside 2 be sure.

Re: Nice 2wd builder- south Texas
 

i guess we will all just hafta wonder since its sold. if it werent i would be on my way to texas to find out.
