Starter of 1972 Blazer

[Mildredthek5]

I have a 1972 Blazer that my dad got in college for 600 bucks. I'm about to get my learners permit and want the blazer to be mine. My mom isn't convinced and by dad is in the fence. I need help getting parts for it and making it safe(er) than it is now. I can post some pics of it tomorrow when I get the time. Anything could help. Also, there is a electrical issue. The battery keeps in dying in less than a day. Has this happened to anyone else? I've looked at the starter because it has had some issue with it before but I need help finding parts so if you guys can link any websites that would be really helpful. I will post the damaged parts of the blazer tomorrow. Thanks! ( by the way, she's named Mildred. That's where the name comes from)
