I'm in the same boat. Could someone please tell me how to register or pay for the want ads.

I'm looking to peice together a 72 if I have to. I was ready to drive 11 hours today to pick up a tub but someone beat me to it by a couple hours.

Thanks for the replys. Im only 17 and have always wanted a ole school blazer so wen i found a deal on one i dove in head first without knowing a thing about the bodys. The eng drivetrain and frame on mine are great but the firewall and windshield frame are SHOT. so trying to find a decent tub for a good price. I wish the one in seattle was closer but just a little to far. thanks and keep posting

my90k5 · 05-11-2010, 04:55 PM

SJBlazer · 05-11-2010, 05:00 PM

my90k5 · 05-11-2010, 05:03 PM

I'll keep my eye opened for ya, I did see a parts blazer on CL around the Virgina Beach area.

If all your worried about is the firewall and windshield frame, you don't need a tub. A truck cab firewall will work as a replacement. Most times the firewall can be repaired by patching the rusted areas with homemade patches. Windshield frames are a common problem area and people on the board here have some for sale occasionally. I've sold a couple myself in the past.
