My new 72 blazer 2wd project
I just picked up this 2wd blazer last night. I am already looking for a top & seats. Next week i am having it lowered and will put on some rallys for now. The engine is a new 383 stroker/ turbo 400/ holley carb, headers. The paint job is cheap, but the body is straight.

Re: My new 72 blazer 2wd project
Good find!! These blazers don't usually last long. I drive 2,000 miles to get mine.
Is it a conversion or original 2wd? Run good? |

Re: My new 72 blazer 2wd project
What kind of seats do you have? I'm looking for the utility bucket seats with the metal back, and they are wider than the sport bucket seats.

Re: My new 72 blazer 2wd project
I have everything on hold for another week. The engine isn't running like it should be, so its in the shop right now. All the parts and seats and console are ready to go. I did prime and paint some old Rally Wheels that my buddy gave me to use for now. Here is a pic with new tires, still need to put on the rings.
