Nope. The 65 jeep gladiator doesn't have anywhere near the appeal of a Blazer.

Re: Would you trade a project 65 jeep gladiator for a project 72 blazer?

Yes, especially if it is a 2wd. Heck, I'd probably trade my '72 for a 2wd in comparable condition.

Yes ditch the jeep and get the blazer. I am biased though.

So I guess your brother is looking into getting rid of that jeep huh? I thought he loved that damn thing. I would trade it in a heart beat considering the gladiator doesn't even have an engine and the blazer runs. I want pics of the blazer thought.

Re: Would you trade a project 65 jeep gladiator for a project 72 blazer?

Why would anyone hate jeeps? That's like saying you hate girls or hate having extra money.

I have a 69 Gladiator. It has Dana 44's in both ends with 4.27 gears, Turbo 400 with the Dauntless V8 (350 Buick) and Dana 20 t-case. And I would trade in a heartbeat for a Blazer/Jimmy.

Nothing against the Kaiser, but Blazer/Jimmy is worth lots more $ in same condition.

I'd trade any Jeep for a first Gen Blazer. Anyone interested in my wife's Cherokee?
