Picked up a '72 Blazer

[landy]

with 350, 4 speed, and factory A/C. Truck is bone stock except for some ugly aftermarket chrome rims and funky aftermarket steering wheel. Has some rot in the rocker panels and a spot in the left rear quarter, but I haven't found any elsewhere. The rocker boxes, body mounts, wheel wells, floors, bed, door hinges, etc. all look very nice. It does need some TLC. The A/C and heater blower doesn't work, speedo and water temp gauge don't work. Needs a grille. The f/g top looks kind of ratty. Any suggestions as to how to repair or improve the look?

Truck runs well, steers and stops straight, shifts fine.

Initially, I'd like to find an original grille and steering wheel. I guess start looking for used parts for sale? Any other sources? Next, determine if I can tackle the rot repair myself.

Thanks!
