Few more pics of the rustiest blazer ever... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have one bolt to cut to finish separating the body from the frame. I did almost all of the body tear down with my hands and a tin snips. The rust took care of the rest.

The firewall kind of folded backwards

The other bedside took a little yanking and snipping to pull off.

The floor just folded over the back end. I cut one bolt with a hacksaw, the rest was loose.

Nice patch panel there for a bed floor.

One bolt holding the front part on yet.

Yep, I bought it specifically for the frame. I'm hoping I scavenged enough parts to resell and make it almost free or even come out ahead.

Dern thats alot of rust. At least you got a good 2wd frame out of it.

zinc prime that sucker and coat it will poly truck bed liner.....then it will stay nice and rust free for a long time! poly doesn't peel or allow moisture to penetrate, unlike rubberized undercoating. and it resists impacts pretty well and acts like a sound deadener. i want to coat the top and bottom of the floorboards on my 72 burb with that stuff some day but for now the truck is in real nice shape.
