Thats a nice looking blazer.

bigblock73 05-17-2003 05:54 PM

Thanks!

Anybody have any guesses on to how much the drop is? It is not "flipped" out back, so i am guessing 3/4??

SCOTI 05-17-2003 06:33 PM

cool woody.

brad2 05-17-2003 06:35 PM

That is to cool. Mine truck was like that when new. It was rosedale red with the woodgrain. Are you keeping it or selling it?

trixter99 05-17-2003 06:52 PM

cool blazer are you going to customize it?

swervin ervin 05-17-2003 06:55 PM

Nice Blazer. I would have to keep it though.

bigblock73 05-17-2003 08:12 PM

Plans for the Blazer are to drive it (summer only) while I finish Yeller. Once I finish Yeller, I am going to sell/trade it for a 73-80 3/4 ton (maybe 1/2 ton) 2WD long box for a tow rig/light work truck (when I need to haul drywall/plywood etc). I am not going to customize it simply cause it runs drives soo good...and when was the last time you saw a 73+ with woodgrain trim? :)

You did good!!!!!

ElGracho 05-17-2003 08:37 PM

That it sweet. I really like that combo of woodgrain and redish paint. I don't know if I didn't read the other thread close enough but I expected it to be green or yellow. I really like that truck. You'll have a hard time parting with it, just wait...

N2TRUX 05-17-2003 09:04 PM

OK, now we are talking. Buddy that looks sooooo sweet. It does need some help in the wheel department though. Throw a set of American Racing Torque Thrusts on there, and lets go surfin....

It looks like you might be dealing with the dreaded 73-80 hood hinge delima. Better get them working before they destroy the hood.

Sweet Blazer !!

I am sure TIMSPEED will jump on the the drop quiz,

he has become pretty good at identifying those
drop size guesses....:D

PHOENIX 05-17-2003 09:58 PM

Jeff,
that Blazer is bad!
You should keep it.

Nice find!
 
Looks like a great find from the pictures. Got anymore history or details on it, like the motor, trans, options etc.. When you get ready to sell it , if the Capt. doesn't take it, remeber me I am #2 in line.

It has a 350/350/12 bolt (ratio unknown) drivetrain...all with only 88,000 miles! It is equipped with AC that blows cold...other than that and the woodgrain trim it is pretty much standard equip. The back seat is MINT, and the fronts have seat covers but they feel fine (have not checked under them yet). Overall it is in good shape BUT there is a slight amount of rust on a few spots and a dent in the roof. I am going to fix the dent in the roof and put new woodgrain on the pass door (along with a lock!) to clean it up. I also am going to clean up the rally wheels (sorry, can't afford fancy wheels right now, Yeller gets the $$ for now) and simply drive/cruise with it. More pics to come once I get it! :)

A Nice Find
 
Good Look'n Blazer! Some guys have all the luck! :D
Jeff: Did you ever sell that other Chevy pickup you bought some months ago?

Yes. I paid $400 for it, stuck another $150 in it, and sold it for $700...wanted to get more for it with less money into it but didn't quite work out that way. Besides, I had to sell it...I was getting attached to "Frankenstein" (I called it that cause it was FUGLY when I got it!). At least I revived another and kept it on the road AND made somebody else happy. :)

Nice blazer Jeff!

Can't wait to see pics of the interior :)

bagged78 05-18-2003 03:29 PM

Great score!!!
It almost looks like a 2/2 drop, it rakes to the front, but the rear is not down to far from stock.. Maybe drop shackles, and cut/drop coils in front..
Looks good though, great buy.

LOHRTBT 05-18-2003 05:29 PM

Very Nice !!! Im jealous of your find!! :)

79BIG10 05-19-2003 03:14 AM

That's a great find Jeff. I'd drive that and lose your Ranger you have. You can't beat that kind of a deal for sure.
