1978 - 2wd Blazer restoration "Blue Blaze"
 

Found a real factory 2 wheel drive blazer here in town. so I decided to build a Daily Driver. not a Trailer Queen. im old school so I have a stock build in mind. stock height, simple low hp crate engine, over drive automatic, I started by disassembly. down to the frame. blasted the frame and painted it chassis black. it was there I found some rust issues! So knowing what a good body man charges for rust repair I decided to find a donor tub. and while I was at it I decided to go with a 81 up because I like the sloped front end. after finding a 100% arizona rust free tub I did the switch. and this one was loaded with air, power windows/locks/ ect. Well then off to the painter. I decided on factory blue/ white colors. and a blue interior. Heres some pics of the progress.
please keep in mind... "A DRIVER"
hope you enjoy.

Clearly you've got the right guy transporting it for you. He's probably got a six shooter that we can't see strapped to his right side, ha. The new paint looks really really good.

Re: 1978 - 2wd Blazer restoration "Blue Blaze"
 

yep. good guy, no 6 shooter but he does have a 9mm!
