I bought it and had it ship from AZ. it still has the original paint on it motor has been redo trans is out I have a 700r to go in it. I have some parts I've gather up so far. Thought I would post some pics.The body has no rust and under it is rust free.

Love the 2wd blazers!

Re: finally got it home
 

Wow,you must be happy! That's a real gem in this part of the country. Looks like something that'll come together pretty easy.

Nice find. Don'tcha just love west coast trucks? Its a shame shipping takes such a chunk of money but I guess its a lot cheaper than body work.

Re: finally got it home
 

those wheels are rare...please keep them

Re: finally got it home
 

Thanks guys , yell $1000 to ship but then there is no rust to fight. I have manage to work on it some all the insides remove and 3in spindles on now I want to go 2in more so drop springs on the way and flip for the back

Re: finally got it home
 

you have a very nice blazer, I wish I started with one more origianl like yours

Re: finally got it home
 

did the blazer have a speakers in the rear from the factory if so anyone got pics of them

Re: finally got it home
 

man its a great start.. I would repaint the white, buff the red, clean the hell out of it and fix anything thats wrong, drop it and cruse it as a survivor

Re: finally got it home
 

Wow nice find looks super clean and in great shape :D Defiantly scored on that one. Have fun with the project!

Re: finally got it home
 

ok guys I drop the blazer in the front 3 spindles . I bought some springs for suppose to be 2" drop but were 1"drop . now I did the rear flip the blazer sits about 2" to lowin the back Iknow I could change the springs to the tahoe . It has a brand new set of air shocks on it could shock extender be use and use the air shocks to raise it back up. my thoughts if it didn't hurt the ride . so are all shock extenders the same length or do you get them for a flip. or should i just cut a half coil off the springs and let it down some more .what would the ride be like.

Nice............wish mine would have been in better shape and had a title. A nice start to something that will be the envy of the neighbors

Re: finally got it home
 

Post up a pic of how it sits right now, need a visual to have an opinion.;) What wheel/tire combo do you plan to run? I'm not a drop expert, but plenty here are and can help you get where you want.

Re: finally got it home
 

Here's my old '82 2wd with drop leaf springs and 2" rear hangers.
Thought I would post pics, since we were talking about it in PM.

Re: finally got it home

Re: finally got it home
 

Sounds like you have room for the notch.

Re: finally got it home
 

Lolife here are few pics I snap when I got home I will get some pics of the back rear tomorrow. the front is 3in spindle ,1 inch springs back is a flip. front has 255-60-17.back 275-60-17

Re: finally got it home
 

Good pics.
It would be nice to drop the front more.

Re: finally got it home
 

I would drop the front more, but if you like the height in the front and want to raise the rear you could always put some 4x4 hanger brackets on the shackle end. That will bring the rear up about 2"....
