Cool Re: December 2024 ToTM - Hand Me Downs

Thank you all! It's been a busy 18 months taking parts that I have collected since 1998 and putting them all together!

My dad is happy that it won. He is 78 now. He is a stage 4 cancer survivor.

Well deserved a beautiful Blazer that you and your dad can be proud of. I have to grin a little bit about the spotlights my first 72 had them.

Thank you. That was my intent. I don't like suspension or body lifts, or silver/chrome wheels on these. I wanted it to look like the day it was sold new in 1970, down to the bias ply 16.5" tires.

There was some straying away from 100 percent 1970 issue, like the front disc brakes, AM/FM radio with rear speaker fader, tilt column, cable throttle control, 1972 front door panels, dual exhaust, extra capacity fuel tank, and cup holder console. There were some well needed engineering improvements by 1972, and I utilized most of them while keeping the more preferred 1970 grille, interior rear view mirror, and CST seat pattern.
