New one in Texas
Hey all,
After having a spot in the garage (well, after I cleared all the crap out), and wanting a full covertible with a truck bed for a loooong time, I finally got one. I was only entertaining EBs, Scouts, Blazers, and CJ8s. CJ8 and EB owners want a lot for thiers, even for the heaps. Blazers were secretly my favorite, specifically the 71-72 blazers. Last week, I finally got one! 1972 K5 Blazer, factory optioned a/c, no roll bar. Needs a bunch of $20 fixes, but so far, no big gorillas lurking that need to be fixed. Everything needs a once over, so expect some questions on the board in the coming weeks. Greg |

Re: New one in Texas
Sorry about the delay. Last night was taxes night, so I had to be good. And got slightly depressed... and had to shuffle some of the work I was going to do on this project. Dang it...
Let's see if this works. [IMG]E:\vehicle\Blazer\driversside.jpg[/IMG] |

Re: New one in Texas
Oh yeah, and thanks for the offer Backyard. I may take you up on it. My friend with the really nice tools is in Kingwood, and that's half way to Splendora anyway.
