New Blazer Member (pics included)

Don't worry boys and girls I may be new to this forum but I understand that photos are needed to make it more fun. I am going to try and post photos here the way I do on my fishing forum. Hopefully it works.

My name is Rob and I live in La Mesa, Ca. This is a border city to San Diego, Ca. I'm 28 years old and own a 1972 CST Blazer. This is my second Blazer. My first was a 1970. I loved my paint job so much on my 70' that I put it on my newly purchased 72'. The color is "light autumn wood metalic." It's a GM color that was very popular on Astro Vans. Some time around 1998 or so full size trucks started sporting more champagne and brown metalic paint jobs. Now I see this color everywhere. The 70' sold to a guy in Vista, Ca. This is a north county location of San Diego County. So if you have seen a lifted version with this paint in Southern Ca...it was probably mine.

Wish I never sold it too.

This 72' has no rust to speak of and is equipped with A/C and tilt wheel. The seats appear to be original and in need of only a good cleaning. The center console looks like it has been painted over. I'm not too sure because my last blazer had after market buckets with no console. So I don't know exactly what this one should look like. The top is about an 8 out of 10. It is cracking slightly along the bonding joints. The only thing that is not stock is the wheel tire combo. They are 33's on a stock lift and fit fine. I will be lifting this sucker in due time. The engine is a rebuilt 350 that appears to be stock. I'm sure the old owner assembled the externals himself. The valve covers leak and so does the tranny. For only having 30k on the motor there is oil everywhere.

Oh yeah, the seller was a canoe guy and mounted this totally lame rack on top. That is getting fixed soon along with the entire top.

Here are some pics. I could not get them to work as planned but I believe you can click on the link to check them out.
