Blazer hits the road WEEEE! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevys2die4 · 07-13-2007, 08:34 PM

after 8 months the old girl finally got to hit the road today. After sitting for many years I was able to take her to get inspected, plates,insurance and take her on her maiden voyage... heads were snappin...with looks of what is that? In Ohio a blazer is a rare site, as most know they rusted to pieces around here...As soon as the mechanical bugs are worked out I'm going to start on the almost rust free body, but not until I enjoy the rest of the summer driving it...49,800 original miles...Idaho Blazer

Nice clean blazer, enjoy.

Why the 8 month wait?

chevys2die4 · 07-13-2007, 09:09 PM

Work,Kids,etc. Plus I cleaned, painted, replaced, wheel cylinders,brakes, hoses water pump, belts, gas tank, etc. etc. etc.

Nice truck - I agree with the rarity of Blazers in Ohio - I have looked for a few years to find a 'relatively' rust 'limited' truck - no dice...

Unless the Ohio/Michigan/Indiana owner stored it since new - they are mostly rusted out and have limited metal left...

Looks like a solid truck - and mostly still stock so that is a plus...

Curious to know the Blazer count in Ohio - I have never seen one in the NW Ohio area, and have looked at the car shows and never found one in this area.

Have a good weekend - and get out there and enjoy that thing.

I have yet to take the top off of mine and it has been absolutely great weatherwise this past few weeks - just been busy with other projects and haven't had the time to get to enjoy it as much as I had hoped. That will change though - we still have a few months of nice weather to enjoy before it stays in the garage for the winter.

very very nice

JUSBLAZ · 07-13-2007, 10:43 PM

I agree with you Tom. I have yet to see one at the local car shows.

I live about 35 min (if you drive like me) from the 75 Ohio border. Maybe next year (when my 72 is done) we can go to the local shows, and give them some new variety to look at.

Oh yeah Nice truck!

chevys2die4 · 07-13-2007, 11:30 PM

Count me in!

bouncytruck · 07-14-2007, 12:35 AM

Congrats on gettin' it on the road. There are far too many that don't seem to make it back on road.

Chevyman63 · 07-14-2007, 08:39 AM

Very nice Blazer!!!

If any of you guys are ever heading north, let me know. I live a little less than 2 hours north of the MI/OH border and would love to check out some car shows.

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-14-2007, 09:35 AM

Sweeeeeeeeet, almost makes me rethink selling my 4wd, almost

**Yukon Jack** · 07-14-2007, 10:36 AM

Very nice - bet you're super excited, I know I was when I got mine on the road.

**Joesjunk** · 07-14-2007, 05:30 PM

Nice, is that the original paint?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-14-2007, 06:39 PM

Wow thats a clean looking ride .........

ColoradoK5 · 07-16-2007, 10:08 AM

man you got a good looking Blazer!! congrats and enjoy

chevys2die4 · 07-16-2007, 07:50 PM

Yes, Original paint, I want to repaint it. I hated the color when I got it (looks like a city or highway truck) but, you are starting to see alot of the yellow in the newer Chevys now! I don't know...Got the front end aligned today..that made a big difference. I'm just going to work out the bugs and drive it the rest of the sumer and enjoy it for awhile.

**BAD4X4** · 07-17-2007, 12:10 AM

Nice ride. You did a GREAT JOB!

**Joesjunk** · 07-18-2007, 06:06 PM

I believe that color is called "Dark Yellow" on the option sheet. You dont see that color very often.
It looks awfull good to repaint!!! But I love original paint. Great looking Blazer, have fun with it!

krue · 07-18-2007, 10:02 PM

Beautiful blazer!

WORNBRAKES · 07-20-2007, 04:00 AM

Very nice. I like Blazers. A lot.

Bishops Trucks · 07-20-2007, 04:20 AM

That is one sharp blazer you have.

chevys2die4 · 07-21-2007, 04:50 PM

Dave,
I've attached a close up of the air cleaner attachment. Hope this shows what you are looking for...

MiniD · 07-23-2007, 09:20 PM

Thanks!

Angelse68cal · 07-24-2007, 03:17 PM

Nice set of Wheels you got there!

chevys2die4 · 07-24-2007, 05:55 PM

Well, I think I figured out why it only has 49,000 miles on it.....I'm almost out of money for gas...WOW! I can't afford to drive it near as much as I would like to...I might have to cut down to week ends only!
