Always been one of my favorites, thanks for the post.

...really dusty old threads.

I have three blazers/jimmys at the moment, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure where I started. It really all began with this, at the junkyard...

Then I was looking for some of the many missing components, like a drive train, floor, interior, etc. and found this, also at a junkyard...

And this is more or less the current condition, but the wheels are back on and it has new breaks.

But I have a parts blazer and it has a much better tub, so I'll be swapping it this summer with the wheels from this:

Then there is the 2wd, which really was just a collection of stuff. I got a good deal on a more or less rust free tub from Arizona, I only bought the tub and doors from this one...

Then I got an original 2wd frame from this heap...

There it is...

And it currently looks like this... and I'm seriously thinking about selling it this summer. Too many projects.

Very nice,

How bout updates on the one that were under construction

CORSAIR · 01-19-2011, 10:59 PM

CStanley.
I love the blazer, is it a true "Feathers by Chevy"? Do have any pictures of the
Glove box and Tailgate? I would love to see them. Me an my buddy are going to
reproduce one. His dad bought one new in 72 in Ca and had for 15 years before he sold it. It was white. I have some pictures of it and will post when I can.

Sorry for not posting my 72 K-5 but its all apart and going back together SOON???

Thanks,
CORSAIR

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-25-2011, 06:57 PM

TY Kurt (+ others) I blame the slow build on myself mostly,
I've changed my mind on parts so many times it's not funny
anymore, and had quite a few problems along the way too.
