and then there were 2

OK, so I have the 67. I was looking for parts for it when I come across a 71 with a good bed. so I buy it. Got it home, and decided to rebuild them both. well at least I will have a parts hauler for both rebuilds

Re: and then there were 2

I sold mine to buy another. But I bought a sports car to replace the street truck too.

Re: and then there were 2

I did this when I had my`71 Blazer with a 3spd,lifted,37s,etc.I bought a`72 to get the complete automatic change-over.I drove it home,washed it up and realized it was too nice(from New Mexico originally)with alot of cool off road/desert accessories from back then,original paint,real solid...I started ordering parts for it so I could have another style of Blazer.I bought another `70 CST for the change-over and decided it had the best options,so I did an original resto on that.I still needed a better trans for the first one.So,I found a 4spd/NP205 set-up without a truck so I wouldn`t end up with another and had the rest of the change-over from the 3spd.My logic of buying a complete Blazer to get all the parts just didn`t work.I got to be known as the guy with three nice(different)Blazers.I never did get a`69 to complete the set.
