'71 2 wheel drive Blazer project for trade. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pinkneyss · 12-15-2004, 04:48 PM

I started this a few years ago & I just don't have the time to do anything with it. The body is in good shape except for the front fenders (bottoms are rusted) & rocker panels. There is a little rust in the bottom corners of the windshield opening. I'll get pics of those rust spots later. The top is in prety good shape, but needs work on the rear hatch. The hood was perfect, but the wind blew it over & put a few dents in it..

I have all the glass for the truck, but all the rubbers will need to be replaced, I cut them to get the glass out. The truck has factory tilt, power brakes (disk), and power steering. I also put a new plastic tank (the one from JC Whitney) & sending unit in it a few months before I troe it all apart. I have all the parts off the truck, like the hood hinges, vent windows, wiring harnesses, etc. The wiring harness isn't the best, it was all cut & spliced before I got the truck.. If I think of anything else I'll add it here & I'll also add more pics later this evening..

I'm looking to trade the Blazer for a 2 wheel drive SWB '67-'72 truck.. I prefer a short fleetside but I'll consider a stepside or long bed.. I also would consider GM cars (Nova, Chevelle, Camaro, etc.). Just let me know what you have.. I'm in Cut-N-Shoot, TX, about 35 miles north east of Houston..

Do you have an engine/trans? If so, what are they and what condition are they in?

CHEVYE · 12-15-2004, 05:12 PM

are you thinking of selling for cash? if so how much? without engine/trans, also are you looking for something more complete or in project status like the blazer? thanks.

pinkneyss · 12-15-2004, 05:16 PM

I don't have an engine/transmission for the truck.. What I'm really hoping to find is a complete short bed truck that I can drop an engine in & drive. I'd like something in decent shape, not something that will have to be torn apart to fix a bunch of rust. I also might take cash, but I really don't have a clue how much to ask for. If you want to make me an offer I'll consider it..

pinkneyss · 12-15-2004, 05:24 PM

Here are the pics of the rust spots.. In my opinion they are very minor..

Am I seeing leaf springs in the rear or is that just a shadow?

pinkneyss · 12-16-2004, 12:16 PM

It's raining here today so I can't get more pics. I'll take them tomorrow & send them to everyone who asked..

Thanks!

ChevyDude · 12-16-2004, 07:03 PM

What would your cash price be.....then you could buy the SWB truck with the toad skins!

Blue Beard · 12-16-2004, 08:39 PM

Looks like you've done alot of work to let her go...

pinkneyss · 12-17-2004, 07:26 PM

ChevyDude - I would prefer to find someone to trade with, but I might sell the truck.. I really don't know how much the truck is worth or how much to ask for. If you want to make me an offer on it I'll consider it..

Blue Beard - I just lost interest in the truck.. Now I bought 3 acres of land & I'm planning on building a house soon so I won't have the $$ to anything with it.. It's been sitting too long & needs to find a good home..

I took more pictures today, you can check them out by clicking the link below (there are 2 pages, be sure to check them both out).
