Re: Do you remember your first one....

If you are talking about my first 1st Gen Blazer, then I am in the same boat as Burt. It's my one and only, bought it in 2006, and I still have it. As it turns out it was originaly green as well. Dark Olive Green



If you are talking about first 67-72 chevy truck in general, that's another story for another post.

No regrets, you had your reasons when you sold it.

Buy another one...

Re: Do you remember your first one....

Yup. I remember my first "1st gen" Blazer quite fondly.. it was 1983, I traded a 1967 4X4 elcamino for a real 70 "stock as a rock" 2WD... had a 307 in it for a bit.. one day it sorta "fell out" and I put in a 69 Corvette 435HP 427 and drove it daily for 3 years up until I was offered a 1970 LS6 chevelle with a 671 Blown 427 in it and traded it off.. oh well

Re: Do you remember your first one....

Yep, I remember my first one. I got it back 22 years after I sold it(Check the link in my signature for the story) I did one other just before getting my old one back, but is was not as cool as getting my first love back.

Yours is a great story! I remember back when you posted about it. I think alot of us dream about something like that happening to ourselves...at least I do!
