How about a RUSTY Blazer contest?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huck · 12-01-2006, 09:12 PM

Just hauled this beauty home Wednesday night. Ever see complete rust through the entire lenght of the UPPER quarterpanels??

oilyrag80 · 12-01-2006, 09:28 PM

Wow!

Jtrux · 12-01-2006, 11:28 PM

I wanna see the rest of it.

bad_turbo · 12-02-2006, 02:54 AM

yah, more pics before it completely falls apart!

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-02-2006, 08:15 AM

WOWSERS

**jaros44sr** · 12-02-2006, 08:22 AM

I was going to nominate mine for the winner, but I lose.Actually that's one contest I'm glad I lost!!! That has tobe the worst example I have ever seen. Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but if that one is saved anything canbe. J.

Huck · 12-02-2006, 09:26 AM

I will post a new picture each day as I part out this dude. Jamie 71 has dibs on the lower sections of the rear quarters which are surprizingly really solid!! The inner torque boxes are fairly intact but--this bugger has some rust damage that is significant in places I've never seen before!! Will post another picture today of a rusted out door---and not the bottom!!

RustyParts · 12-02-2006, 10:54 AM

I've never seen one rust through on top of the quarter before. Did you find the truck in Ky?

Jimmy72custom · 12-02-2006, 01:23 PM

I have seen that kind of rust on vehicles on the coast. The salty sea mist

Huck · 12-02-2006, 10:05 PM

So who makes patch panels for this?

bad_turbo · 12-02-2006, 11:03 PM

I can already see what happens when you call to order a that part, "you want a patch panel for what!?"

c-1072 · 12-03-2006, 12:07 AM

here is a few just as long as we are showing off . You know we grow rust right here in ny .

That's disgusting, it makes me want to throw up. The admins shouldn't allow pics like that on the board!!!j/k

You could probably get that inspected in NY, almost a DD. I've seen PU's with no wheelwells on rt 81

*72CSTC5* · 12-03-2006, 12:08 AM

Holy Crap Dude!!!!!!

joker834 · 12-03-2006, 06:50 PM

Makes mine seem fixable!

Livrat · 12-03-2006, 07:13 PM

Holy cow!! Makes the two I just cut up cause they were too rusty for me look like jems!!.. Maybe I should rethink cutting up the remaining two??

Looks like we may have a tie between "too much stuff" and "Huck"??
I have never seen Blazers so rusty!!

krue · 12-03-2006, 08:00 PM

I've got a contender, if I can get all the bondo off.

**kna4977** · 12-03-2006, 08:32 PM

I had one in high school that was so rusty the top was the only thing keeping the sides from falling off. I wish I had pictures, but my dad and I spent a summer bonding, or should I say bondoing. Two gallons of bondo later, some metal used for duct work for floor-boards, a $15.00 gallon of paint from Lowes and a couple of rollers later, we had something that looked suprisingly well. Huck, where did you find that piece? Anything good on it? Matt

**jaros44sr** · 12-03-2006, 09:05 PM

I vote for Huck, he's got rust on the top side of the bedside. We all have rust on the bottom side, gravity you know. I feel bad complaining about the little rust I have, had. Bed floor, rr. lower quarters, rocker boxes, floorboards, inner and outer sills, "A" and "B" posts, doors, battery box, fr. lower fender, rad. core support.

Mine is coming to a close and another persons starts. we all share your misery!! I wonder what the total number of saved trucks this forum has done? J.

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:29 PM

Rust it's falling out all over!!! Pretty solid floor sections---will pull and part---post parts for sale asap.

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:39 PM

Looks nice when you peel away the junk!

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:23 PM

This jewel is being parted out---in fact Jamie came over yesterday and we spent a few hours with wrenches--most of the bolts just BROKE!! Made it easier. Still lot's of great parts~~~Running 350, good 4 speed, good front and rear 373 axles, Nice top, nice hatch, straight tailgate with matching outer swing away spare mount, inner mount, buckets, rear seat, set of 5 seatbelts, sunvisors, original rubber floor mounts, perfect transfer case shifter ball, lockouts, grill guard, inner spare mount, nice dash, gauge cluster,
auto steering column, aftermarket air, 3row radiator, etc. etc.

**raggedjim** · 12-08-2006, 10:53 AM

Gee Emm had everyone beat... I'm pretty sure the only thing he used off of his jimmy was the frame and the step up behind the drivers seat... and the glove box door!

Rg

Pop's72 · 12-08-2006, 06:00 PM

and he fixed it too!

Huck · 12-11-2006, 05:53 PM

OK, tired of messing with the rust so I put some of the parts onto e-bay---buckets, top, a tilt column and my one and only BLAZER 1/2 TOP--now mine isn't a metal one like the one that sold for $970. last month--but it is fiberglass and only weighs maybe 25-30lbs. Let's see what the market will bring~~~~item # 330061291633. (tops, tilts, am/fm, tach dash all coming soon)
Will be cutting up the floor working my way forward in the next few days so if someone wants something fomr this turd, let me know---it is a factor 350, 4speed that still runs and drives pretty good--no stopping though as the brakes lines rusted out.
