I got Blazed last night
I've been Blazer hunting for a short while, found a decent 77 2wd this weekend. Needs some body work, looks like I'm going to learn how to paint. Worked on the engine last night (350 w/ a Quadrajet). I'll rebuild the carb & give it a tune up this weekend, ought to get it running smooth.
See if that picture works. A cool history on the Blazer. A couple years ago a good friend of mine was looking for one. The mom of one of my wife's best friends was selling hers. She wanted too much & he didn't have enough. Saturday when we pulled up to the guy's house, my wife recognized it immediately. He said he bought it a couple years ago from a lady who had owned it for 20 years. That's it! My wife grew up in this truck, even learned how to drive in it. Anyways, this one is staying mild, I need it for a daily. Just need to get the engine running good, fix a few minor things, & get the paint & body looking good so I can park it near my house. More pics to come.

I wonder why your 77 has low back buckets when mine has the high back buckets?

Thanks Mike! Going to have to try some of your improvement mods on this one.
Brandon, that is a definite yes! Don't they have that Dallas swap meet in Sept also? There hasn't been a good swap meet in this area in a long time.

I think they do. It depends on who is putting it on. Dean Earhart had some issues with Ball Park in Arlington some time back and Great Southwest is usually the one to go to at that time.

What do you call 2 dumba$$es that can't read a post right?
C&C Chevy and Dave! I posted 2 other Blazers for sale near C&C since he said he was looking for one. I bought mine in Tulsa. No puking C&C, those are both available as far as I know.

The top weight, I would bet at least 100-150 pounds. As far as adhesive and trim go...My Blazer has little square clips with adhesive on them holding the trim tight.
