Back in a Blazer!

I regretted selling my 1971 Jimmy...but it was just too damn big with tons, lockers and 38's for an old man!



I was at a conference in Iowa and found a "deal"... bagged my return flight and drove it home 1200 miles in 24 hours! averaged close to 16mpg without a single hiccup!

1972 Blazer CST
Rust Free (by my standards-some surface rust on bottom of rockers)
Several new body panels
LT1 swap
TH350
NP205
New tires
Decent Interior
UGLY ASS Wrap (although I sometimes find myself wanting to keep it and grow a mullet)



Here is what's under the wrap



Who knows where I will go with it...

No more lifts, lockers etc for me. just cruising for fun.

Just thought I'd say hello!

Adam

Looks like a pretty decent rig. I don't think I could handle the wrap either. Enjoy.

Re: Back in a Blazer!

Looks nice although I think you should have explored the mullet direction a bit more

Good news is that the photos are from the PO.

The WRAP is still on and my hair grows VERY fast!

Re: Back in a Blazer!

You gotta keep the wrap it is tacky and loud but would be a blast get an 8 track player with a journey or some other Freedom Rock and turn it up on your home speakers laying in the back.
