Its time to introduce the Unicorn 2WD blazer

I found it on the 2wd find thread from this wonderful site & from a board member (Blue1972). I bought it on October 15th. Just now making time to introduce it. Thought I wouldn't like the non-factory seats until I sat in them and changed my mind I like the ability to recline and fold down or quickly and easily remove the rear seat . Stock, factory, 2wd 350ci, 4 speed CST. Pic from when I brought it home.

Just got it loaded

Re: Its time to introduce the Unicorn 2WD blazer

How do you bolt down the hard top - all the holes in the bed rail are filled.

FYI, the new seats do not have original covers on them, but they look like they are in good shape or repops are available.

Re: Its time to introduce the Unicorn 2WD blazer

I don't know? I have never had the top off. The picture of it with the top off are from the PO. PO just put the top on with front and rear bolts for the sale. HMMM! you got me wondering. I'll have to check it out

Nice ride! Those seats you scored do not have the correct brackets on them.

Yes I did. Craigslist is my super walm***. The guy I got them from is a super nice guy. He is building a NICE converted two wheel drive for his 85 year old father.
