1971 Blazer 2wd (keeper) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**CMACDONALD1** · 03-23-2012, 11:57 AM

With a little prompting from another board member (PHAT TONY) I decided I had better introduce my newest addition. I have been looking for a 2wd blazer for some time now and just happened to run across one listed on here that belonged to another board member. I plan on driving this thing just the way it is for the summer and then I will tear it down and paint it next winter. Anyhow here are a couple of pics the day I purchased it. My youngest son is pretty stoked about this one.

**lolife99** · 03-23-2012, 12:29 PM

Looks like a NICE one.

no moa · 03-23-2012, 12:39 PM

Dang nice ride! love those 2wd blazers.

71HUGGER396 · 03-23-2012, 02:32 PM

Sweet!!!!

YBNORML · 03-23-2012, 03:07 PM

Ha, I was wondering when you were going to throw up some pics

rsavage · 03-23-2012, 04:25 PM

Great looking Blazer. Nice fleet you have there.

**CMACDONALD1** · 03-23-2012, 06:49 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys! I sold a 70 Blazer a few years back and after it was gone I really regreted it. These things are just too cool to run around in. As soon as the weather is nice out here I'm going to peel the roof off and leave it off. And YBNORMAL if you guys are down this way make sure you stop in for a visit or maybe we could meet up at a show or something this summer (Super run hint hint).

PHAT TONY · 03-23-2012, 09:02 PM

We could dang near have a Blazer corner at the thursday night dealio before s/r.

I may even consider coming down on a thursday evening. It would be nice to see some different rides for a change. The local cruise nights get a little boring after a while.

tubbedII · 03-26-2012, 01:15 PM

That looks great!!!

Heavy Evy · 03-30-2012, 11:26 AM

If I ever get my hands on 2wd blazer that's exactly how I want the colors. Flat black with a white top it just looks so good!

Thanks! yeah I will try to leave it alone untill I gather all the parts for it so it should stay flat black for a while. It gets a ton of looks the way it is and is a blast to drive. Love this thing!!!

tubbedII · 03-30-2012, 11:40 AM

So I've opened this thread about 10 times now hoping to see more pics of this ride and still only the same 3...do you have any more? I'd love to see 'em!

I will try to get a few more pics this weekend and post them up. Sorry to keep you in suspense. LOL!!!

tubbedII · 03-30-2012, 12:30 PM

Awesome! Gosh...I never even noticed your burb in the avatar! Post some up that beautiful thing too!!!! No fair for you to own 2 awesome rides...

**CMACDONALD1** · 03-30-2012, 12:45 PM

Here are a couple of pics of the burb. I've had this burb for about ten years now and finally was able to find the time to paint it last year. Its getting accuair within the next couple of weeks and cant wait.

tubbedII · 03-30-2012, 02:31 PM

It sure is a great lookin burb! If I didn't get my air management from my bro for free, it would have defintely been accuair. Trying to find room for the valves and all those fittings isn't that fun...

**CMACDONALD1** · 03-30-2012, 03:44 PM

I built a huge box in the back of my burb for my current setup and I think the accuair will just clean everything up back there and look nice. Oh and it works pretty slick too!!! lol

tubbedII · 03-30-2012, 04:23 PM

Haha! I know the box thing VERY well! I built one for my blazer too, but hated how much room it took up so I ditched it...the sad part was I had a lot of time invested in it.

**CMACDONALD1** · 05-14-2012, 01:36 PM

I decided it was nice enough out to take the roof off for the summer. just thought i would post a pic as everyone likes pictures (at least I do anyhow). Its hard to stop anywhere and not talk to somebody about the truck. Bring on the nice weather!!!

Mine comes off next weekend, rain or shine. That's how I do it every year, May long weekend till september long weekend it stays topless

rsavage · 05-14-2012, 02:52 PM

Looks great. Nothing like a Blazer with the top off!

I totally agree. I had a 70 blazer about 5 years ago and regretted selling it.
