7/7/07 was a lucky day for me - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up a mostly complete and running 72 cst blazer for only 500.00 .It has some rust issues and needs repainting,but way better than most I've seen in that price range.First thing to do is change the wheels and tires.Also does anyone know where I can get the interior panels with the scroll pattern?

Do I see tow hooks under the front bumper? Whether or not they are true 67-72 hooks thats still one hell of a deal !

DURRTY · 07-08-2007, 01:59 AM

Yeah and a roll bar. How bad are the rocker/rocker boxes and floor? 500 is a killer deal and if you drove it home even better.

nice

RED72blazer · 07-08-2007, 05:01 AM

congrats...paid the same for mine 7 years ago. Drove it home too.

**jaros44sr** · 07-08-2007, 09:50 AM

Good score, 200 cheaper then mine and no tow hooks, lmk if you need a hand? J.

Where did you find it?

**Yukon Jack** · 07-08-2007, 10:05 AM

Sweet deal!

hgs_notes · 07-08-2007, 10:26 AM

I just paid $400 for one I towed out of the junkyard and thought that was good. Very nice score there.

If you want new reproduction panels you can purchase them from Brothers for $459 + ~$60 to get them to the Philadelphia area. I bought a set last year. They look nice. The stitching is real, not stamped like the original panels. I have not unwrapped them or installed them yet.

Good score! Looks drivable as is. Am I seeing truck buddy buckets?

Looks great, what a deal you got!

69TowRig · 07-08-2007, 08:25 PM

Sweet rig, with a lift to boot! Damn nice score. I paid WAY more than that, trailered my junk home, and spent almost a year getting it to drive around safely under its own power. Hell of a deal you got there!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-11-2007, 08:50 PM

Sweet deal for sure congrats...

Jtrux · 07-12-2007, 03:14 PM
