Got Another Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 03-30-2005, 08:00 PM

Worked out a deal with Bill Athey in VA. Good guy.

Brought down my swb 4x4 and managed to aquire both the 67 panel truck and the 70 blazer.
Still need to gather up the panel.

Anybody heading north?

Blazer is for dual purpose use, both as a daily driver and it will be built up to be a trail use vehicle.
Best of both worlds.

Looks like a great start.. Did you really tow that with the trail blazer?

GMC71k20 · 03-30-2005, 11:04 PM

looks awesome. are you keeping it yellow? the panel would look cool on a certain 4x4 burb frame with a big lift...

How do you find them?! Those Corbeau seats are gonna treat your hiney well when you're barrelin' down a backwoods trail

Is the interior black? Great find, since you have too many already you're gonna have to send me your green CST so you'll have room to work on this one

Keep us posted!

You are certainly building quite the collection! Good score!

Nice blazer! I like the original outside mirrors!

vtblazer · 04-03-2005, 05:39 AM

Okay, had a couple days to tinker...

Got it running pretty good, had to get some VA sand outta the carb.

Found the power drain.
P/O (before Bill) hooked up an amp with direct battery power, as in always on.

It had 73 and up bucket seats in it (their for sale) pulled them out and installed the correct year buckets.

Have a tilt that needs to be installed at some point.

Getting those 8 lug slotted mags cleaned up and ready for some meats.

3/4 ton axels are being checked and prepped for installation soon.

Have another hard top that will be installed when it quits raining.

Torsion boxes are MIA but thats okay cause a full cage is in the works.

Drove it around yesterday (needs shocks like they all do) all seemed fine.

Sorry so long but that's the latest scoop, I'm likin' it.
