1970 Blazer project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jbs70 · 01-20-2011, 06:04 PM

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

WOW!!!!!! One of my top dream vehicles to find! An unmolested, first gen, 2-wheel Blazer! Not rusty? Where is it from?

swyfor5 · 01-20-2011, 06:33 PM

Welcome aboard! Love that color! What do YOU have in mind for it? Any more pic's? We love pic's!

72BlckButy · 01-20-2011, 06:55 PM

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?

1956cameo · 01-20-2011, 07:58 PM

That blazer sure looks familiar!! If its not lks dcvn's old blazer than it is an exact duplicate.

72BlckButy · 01-20-2011, 08:05 PM

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...

Shveet, I vote for disc brakes, static drop, fill it full of gas and drive it!

**lolife99** · 01-20-2011, 09:16 PM

Welcome to the board!

YBNORML · 01-20-2011, 10:16 PM

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?

jbs70 · 01-21-2011, 09:26 AM

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.

no moa · 01-21-2011, 09:38 AM

Welcome, man you are so lucky, what id do for one of those.

blazintowers · 01-21-2011, 09:38 AM

that blazer looks great just the way it sits! but i know how fun it is to modify!

jbs70 · 01-21-2011, 09:46 AM

More pic's

no moa · 01-21-2011, 10:02 AM

I'd be all over that like flys on stink! How can you WAIT till next fall! lol

jbs70 · 01-21-2011, 10:28 AM

Wife + Kid = NO $$$
That's how, LOL

no moa · 01-21-2011, 10:49 AM

Ah, gotchya! Me too. Except no wife and 2 kids.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 01-21-2011, 11:59 AM

Interior picturs, not much there

no moa · 01-21-2011, 12:20 PM

Look at the size of that shift lever. OMG. lol

1956cameo · 01-21-2011, 01:08 PM

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

CircusWagonJim · 01-21-2011, 01:38 PM

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.

LOL! Now that's funny!

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