Got a [75 Blazer!

[dccarpenter]

Bought a Blazer this morning!

Despite limited funds, no place to park it, disapproving girlfriend&mother I just had to do it.

It's a '75 Blazer Cheyenne package, didn't even bother checking the mileage, sure it's a odometer rollover.

Here's the breakdown

The Good: has the original hubcaps/rims, new-ish tires, a running sbc 350/turbo 350 combo (trans was supposedly rebuilt in the past few years), new doors, air conditioning, 4x4. It starts and runs, couldn't drive it as it had no brakes but the tranny shifted into all the gears and moved forward/back for Drive and Reverse. 1 new floor pan installed in front passenger side, needs 1 more on driver's side. Back seat is in and is in really nice condition. Engine ran strong at idle, kicked down nicely after warming up

The bad - hood doesn't sit down flat, needs some work, tailgate bottom and area where tailgate meets bed is rusted bad, master cylinder is likely shot(hence no brake pedal), choke is probably bad as it needed a shot of starter fluid to start, body is rough and will need paint

My cost: $500


My questions for the experts on the board, going to flat tow it home with me, it does not have locking hubs in the front you just shift the transfercase in the cab to put it in 4wd. Does this mean I have full time 4wd? Do I need to pull both driveshafts to tow it home or can I just disconnect the rear? Or am I super lucky and can leave both in? The ride home is 25 miles, will be going about 40mph. Tow vehicle is a big heavy C30 dually so it can handle it fine.
