Need a 1st Gen Blazer in Here. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 05-22-2005, 10:31 AM

Since there's not been any 1st gen blazer's yet, I'll guess I'll start...

Green blazer is from AZ, flew out, drove it home and tore into it! (was white)
First pic is on Route 66 in New Mexico.
Unfortunately, I turned it into a 'perfect wheather/no mud' princess.

We take it out on nice days for family rides but not much more.
Never even been in the mud

maybe as time goes by...

Kept going with the green resto...

Then I decided, being I own nothing newer than a 72 and wanted to drive a blazer as a 'daily' I found another one.

The yellow one will get a minor 2" spring lift and 33's.
This will be the one we take camping/4x4ing.

Here's my first ever 4x4 purchase, 72 k-5 Blazer with a Factory 350.
I am very excited about starting a cosmetic makeover, I would like to buy new doors and front fenders, And replace the bumpers with the original style. I would also like to put on a hard top and put in a billet front grille. I have been looking for a 69-72 Bodystyle for some time now and feel very lucky to have found a Blazer in such great mechanical condition.Here in Hawaii rust is always a major issue and this Blazer has held up rather well in these salt prone areas.
