How about a RUSTY Blazer contest?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huck · 12-01-2006, 09:12 PM

Just hauled this beauty home Wednesday night. Ever see complete rust through the entire lenght of the UPPER quarterpanels??

oilyrag80 · 12-01-2006, 09:28 PM

Wow!

Jtrux · 12-01-2006, 11:28 PM

I wanna see the rest of it.

bad_turbo · 12-02-2006, 02:54 AM

yah, more pics before it completely falls apart!

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-02-2006, 08:15 AM

WOWSERS

jaros44sr · 12-02-2006, 08:22 AM

I was going to nominate mine for the winner, but I lose.Actually that's one contest I'm glad I lost!!! That has tobe the worst example I have ever seen. Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but if that one is saved anything canbe. J.

Huck · 12-02-2006, 09:26 AM

I will post a new picture each day as I part out this dude. Jamie 71 has dibs on the lower sections of the rear quarters which are surprizingly really solid!! The inner torque boxes are fairly intact but--this bugger has some rust damage that is significant in places I've never seen before!! Will post another picture today of a rusted out door---and not the bottom!!

RustyParts · 12-02-2006, 10:54 AM

I've never seen one rust through on top of the quarter before. Did you find the truck in Ky?

Jimmy72custom · 12-02-2006, 01:23 PM

I have seen that kind of rust on vehicles on the coast. The salty sea mist

Huck · 12-02-2006, 10:05 PM

So who makes patch panels for this?

bad_turbo · 12-02-2006, 11:03 PM

I can already see what happens when you call to order a that part, "you want a patch panel for what!?"

c-1072 · 12-03-2006, 12:07 AM

here is a few just as long as we are showing off . You know we grow rust right here in ny .

*72CSTC5* · 12-03-2006, 12:08 AM

That's disgusting, it makes me want to throw up. The admins shouldn't allow pics like that on the board!!!j/k

You could probably get that inspected in NY, almost a DD. I've seen PU's with no wheelwells on rt 81

**too much stuff** · 12-03-2006, 01:05 PM

I think i may have a contender!!!

joker834 · 12-03-2006, 06:50 PM

Makes mine seem fixable!

Livrat · 12-03-2006, 07:13 PM

Holy cow!! Makes the two I just cut up cause they were too rusty for me look like jems!!.. Maybe I should rethink cutting up the remaining two??

Looks like we may have a tie between "too much stuff" and "Huck"??
I have never seen Blazers so rusty!!

krue · 12-03-2006, 08:00 PM

I've got a contender, if I can get all the bondo off.

kna4977 · 12-03-2006, 08:32 PM

I had one in high school that was so rusty the top was the only thing keeping the sides from falling off. I wish I had pictures, but my dad and I spent a summer bonding, or should I say bondoing. Two gallons of bondo later, some metal used for duct work for floor-boards, a $15.00 gallon of paint from Lowes and a couple of rollers later, we had something that looked suprisingly well. Huck, where did you find that piece? Anything good on it? Matt

jaros44sr · 12-03-2006, 09:05 PM

I vote for Huck, he's got rust on the top side of the bedside. We all have rust on the bottom side, gravity you know. I feel bad complaining about the little rust I have, had. Bed floor, rr. lower quarters, rocker boxes, floorboards, inner and outer sills, "A" and "B" posts, doors, battery box, fr. lower fender, rad. core support.

Mine is coming to a close and another persons starts. we all share your misery!! I wonder what the total number of saved trucks this forum has done? J.

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:23 PM

This jewel is being parted out---in fact Jamie came over yesterday and we spent a few hours with wrenches--most of the bolts just BROKE!! Made it easier. Still lot's of great parts~~~Running 350, good 4 speed, good front and rear 373 axles, Nice top, nice hatch, straight tailgate with matching outer swing away spare mount, inner mount, buckets, rear seat, set of 5 seatbelts, sunvisors, original rubber floor mounts, perfect transfer case shifter ball, lockouts, grill guard, inner spare mount, nice dash, gauge cluster,
auto steering column, aftermarket air, 3row radiator, etc. etc.

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:29 PM

Rust it's falling out all over!!! Pretty solid floor sections---will pull and part---post parts for sale asap.

Huck · 12-04-2006, 09:39 PM

Looks nice when you peel away the junk!

teeitup · 12-05-2006, 02:27 PM

Here is another contender ebay # 200055333399

**too much stuff** · 12-07-2006, 08:34 PM
