1970 Blazer project

Hi,
I'm new to this page and I picked up a 1970 Blazer 2wd just before Thanksgiving. I stored it away for the winter and will be cleaning it up in the spring. It's going to need floors but I think I'm going to run it like it is for one season. Then start on a complete tear down next fall.

Lets hear some of your ideas on what I could do to this thing?

Thanks
Joe

Awesome Blazer... but we need more pics!

You didn't by chance pick this up from a member (lks dcvn) of this board in OH did you?

Re: 1970 Blazer project

That's what I was thinking... was trying to find the pics of lks dcvn's blazer but haven't found his thread yet.

**EDIT**

It is one and the same...

Re: 1970 Blazer project

Nice truck, a very good platform to start from. Some may call me biased, but i love that color. What are the plans when you decide to tear into it?

Re: 1970 Blazer project

Yes I picked it up from a board member in Ohio. There is rust that for sure.
I would like to drop it 2 1/2 and add power disc at the same time.

Kill any rust, drop it and drive! I am glad to see that the new owner is a board member.

Rust on the bottom- but zero sundamage on top! Look how nice that steering wheel is! The same color wheel in my truck is totally baked away- but then there's no rust either.

That is a GREAT looking sandalwood steering wheel. You just don't find sandalwood wheels like that very often. Very nice!
