1972 2wd Blazer Owner Now - The Search Comes to an End... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lks dcvn** · 03-08-2009, 02:49 PM

Just wanted to say that I bought a two wheel drive Blazer (from 70rs/ss) and I will start a build thread to document the process over the next few months.

I plan on driving it home in a few months from AZ...

Short List:

1972 2wd Blazer
68 Front Clip
2.5" ECE front drop
4" ECE rear drop
F/R Disk Brakes

Build Thread can be found here:

I look forward to seeing this come together!

That's awesome dude. Cant wait to see pics. Do you already have it or does it need to be picked up? What are the plans? Congrats.

TooT · 03-08-2009, 11:08 PM

Thats awesome! i just bought my first 2wd after always wanting one. Were going in the morning to pick her up

mine is a 71 Jimmy with a 68 front clip.

**lks dcvn** · 03-09-2009, 12:38 PM

Nope - I don't have it yet - it is resting out in the AZ sun while we are getting rain and snow over here in Ohio still. There is almost always one last major snow here in late March/early April so that works out for me.

Mike mentioned that he has the Blazer at his home now so he can begin working on it...

70rs/ss · 03-09-2009, 05:23 PM

Yeah, I got a snow on Sat on my way to pick it up!! It was nice and 70's the two weeks prior and 30 degrees Sat with snow!! It warmed up and the sun came out but WOW!! I'll get some picts up in the next day or two I had to "clean" the garage and make room for it, but I don't have any so it is sitting on the trailer in front of my used car lot, aka HOME!

Jtrux · 03-09-2009, 07:26 PM

So are you not getting the 4wd one now??

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-09-2009, 07:31 PM

**lks dcvn** · 03-09-2009, 07:53 PM

Oh - I am still swapping for the 4wd one in a few weeks (getting rid of my 3/4 ton LWB)- now I have a 1972 2wd and a 1972 4wd coming my way this year!

**lks dcvn** · 10-14-2009, 01:21 PM

Sadly, the 2wd Blazer project will not be happening - so my search for a 2wd or a proper conversion will be coming when I get my $ back from Mike. The build post will also be updated as well.

Stay tuned for the new search.

If you see a 2wd Blazer (even a good conversion) out there- shoot me a msg.

Thx.

ChadGiles70 · 10-14-2009, 01:52 PM

It was going so well. Why the end in the project?

1956cameo · 10-14-2009, 01:55 PM

Sorry to hear that. What happened?

**lks dcvn** · 10-14-2009, 02:21 PM

Mike (70rs/ss) didn't get time to get it done with his schedule for work, etc. - so he offered to refund my $ - which I accepted.

So keep your eyes open for another Blazer for me guys.

I might have to convert one (or buy a conversion already done) - I just want to drive - and not be wrenching for years to wrap one up.

ChadGiles70 · 10-14-2009, 04:30 PM

Did he say that he wont ever get it done now or there was a time limit. I'll keep my eyes open.

vtblazer · 10-14-2009, 04:53 PM

Your not able to leave it there, let him finish it up and just pick it up a year late?

**raggedjim** · 10-14-2009, 05:11 PM

Are you looking for a completed one or a project?

Crap, I just noticed I turned pink, guess it's about time to pay up again...
