my new 72 blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigbluthng · 11-13-2003, 11:46 PM

well, last night i became the proud owner of a 72 chevy blazer k5. its a 4x4, 4speed, with a 350, it has a 7" lift and some small looking 31x10.5 pictures are here at: http://community.webshots.com/user/bigbluthng
i got it for $1700. it's an original california car, and the only bad rust is on the rockers. oh, did i mention i got a few spare parts with it? new rear chrome bumper with brackets, new gm window regulators, new chrome mirrors, new door lock cylinders, repro rockers panels, inside and out, repro font quater patch panels, spare fender, spare tailgate, decent chrome font bumper, spare gauge cluster, new reprint assembly manual, new reprint owner's manual and new reprint service manual. the guy said he had no money to put into it and even less time. my plans are to convert it to 2 wheel drive, bag it and drop in a vortec 383. as for trans choice, i'm not sure yet maybe a richmond.
