Re: 2wd 72 blazer

What are you're plans? If you're going to modify it, there's no reason to spend more for a factory 2wd. If the truck is rust free, or close to it, and fairly complete, it sounds like a good deal. Make sure that it was set up to handle the 2wd transmission (cross members, shift linkages, etc.)

Let us know if you decide to get it.

Re: 2wd 72 blazer

Sounds like a good starting point for your project depending on how good the tub/windshield are and if it comes w/ a top or not.

Re: 2wd 72 blazer

I'd start with a 4wd. You can either buy a conversion or convert it yourself. I think finding a solid body is more important than the mechanical since you plan to change all of that anyway. A rusty windshield is going to be the hardest part to repair since you'll have to find a donor vehicle.

Here's an article on doing the conversion - http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticl...ion/index.html

Here's a thread on jmuck's conversion - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...light=weekends

Too bad your not in Southern California. I know where a guy has a 2wd '72 Blazer for sale. I saw it it was still there a couple weeks ago.

Re: 2wd 72 blazer

Sorry guys, posting parts for sale is against site rules if you are not a supporting memeber. Please review the rules here:

Thanks, and please keep this free from non-sub selling or the thread could be closed.

All you have to do to be able to buy and sell on the board is become a site supporter. Costs $25/yr (that's under 7 cents per day)
