WIW 77 2wd Blazer Chassis

Hey everyone,
I have a factory 2wd 77 Blazer. I am trying to determine the value of it as either a rolling chassis or stripped down to just the Frame.

For those who may not know, this is the last year you can directly swap any tub from 73-77 onto it, so I was thinking it might be peek someone's interest here on the board.

Currently the tub is still on it and it is a rolling chassis.
It has a 12 bolt posi (not sure of the ratio yet) with new brake shoes
stock front end A-arms, spindles, brakes etc...
It is a Trailering Special which adds a heavy duty front sway bar, heavy duty hitch, 31 gallon fuel tank, and I forget what else at the moment.

I have pics of the Blazer on the day I got it, before the front clip was removed along with the engine/trans.

Any ideas?

Pictures of it intact and caked with mud everywhere.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hikingd...7603401740513/

Really??

I sold my '81 complete minus drivetrain and interior but with newer Western Chassis drop spindles and a flip kit installed, welded in rollpan with LED's (needed some work from a botched trailer loading episode) for $750 and was happy to get it!
I guess it all depends on your timing?

Re: WIW 77 2wd Blazer Chassis

Travis,

Thanks for the feedback,

Up in this part of the country, I don't think it will bring that much, but who knows...

Since I still have the 75 Blazer for my son, and my 78 Short Wide, I figured I would look into getting myself another project not in the square body era. After attending a swap meet a few months back, I found myself surrounded by 67-72 trucks and it made me long for my old 67.

Long story short, I worked a deal with a board member (Livrat) to acquire a 70 Blazer that he/we are converting to 2wd. Should be a ton of fun. It will get the trailing arm rear suspension with 4 corner air ride as well as other goodies.. I should have some pictures of it in a few weeks when I go back up to his place.

So what this means, is I will have a ton of 73-80 stuff for sale in the very near future, I have gathered lots of stuff over the last two years. I'll offer it to board members first, then my local Craigslist. I was going to put the 77 back together, but I will be keeping the drivetrain and a few other things. That and the areas on the 77 that need attention are all related to the tub which I don't feel like tackling at the moment, as I am already working on the 75 over the winter.

Talk to you later,

Drew

Sounds cool Drew.. But it's to bad that you are going to the dark side of the 67-72 rucks.. Keep us updated..
