My 1971 Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Toppless Blazer · 08-10-2007, 08:53 PM

Here is some pictures of my blazer just back from the paint booth and the transfer case that was just painted. Now it's off with the body so the frame can be painted and the underside of the body can be painted. It's a 71 4WD with a 4 speed and a 350.

Very nice looking Blazer. It looks like you're doing a top-notch resto. Got any "before" pictures?

You got me there Asa

But as you know, & most here don't, we don't
use our family $ for my toys, hence the reason
mine is still not painted and may never ever be.

Looks Awesome!!!

Keep the pics coming and the progress rolling.

Welcome to the board! Great looking project. Gonna be beautiful. Keep in mind as your thinking about a bbc that they sometimes don't fit without some modifications. I thought I would be fine sliding my bbc into my 69 K20 after adding a 2" body lift - went to the body shop for paint without test fitting the motor. Went to put the body back on and had major firewall interference. Sometimes a bbc swap has minor problems, sometimes lots of clearance issues.

**special-K** · 08-11-2007, 05:29 PM

That`ll be one fine Blazer when done.It already is!

killer71 · 08-11-2007, 05:33 PM

That's gonna be sweet!
