Great problem to have!?!?
Well with 3 young kids I have been wanting to get a 2wd Blazer/Jimmy to build and enjoy with the entire family - well, somehow I ended up getting two!!
First I picked up a 71 2wd Jimmy, then a 70 2wd Blazer w/ a ton of extra parts that I would want/need came up for sale and I really couldn't pass it up So that leads me to my current problem, and it really is a great problem to have - I just can't keep em both - My plan: 5.3/4l60e, Porterbuilt suspension (dropmember, trailing arm crossmember, rear arms, control arms) bagged with disc brakes all four corners. 20/20 wheels, maybe 20/22! I don't think I will go rodster, keeping my windshield stock so I can throw the top back on (never know it might rain) Both bodies will need a decent amount of body work so from that perspective not much difference. I like the idea of having a first year production 70 2wd, but the Jimmy has really grown on me and you just don't see a lot of them around! If I go with the 70 it will have a 67/68 front clip! If I go with the 71 Jimmy I plan in laying the hood back a bit and giving the grill some gun metal - like Mark Mcdonald's amazing 69' truck! I really like the way his truck looks and would use it as my model if I stay with the Jimmy. I borrowed a few pictures to get an idea of whats going through my brain - so let me know what you guys think - and thank you for opinions! Heres what I'm thinking. Man I love this look! a quick photoshop of a Jimmy with GMC grill and laid back hood. Kevin's Blaz - like this look! Clean!
