How are your welding skills?, any rust that is on your truck can now be fixed with patch panels or a full floor, and torsion boxes. If your windshield is rusted, that will be your biggest challege, as they are hard to find and pricey

I say go for it!! I'll vote for you as a future TOTM winner...keep us posted as we like pics

Re: 1970 Blazer, Thoughts?

Demon GT, No the wheel covers aeren't very hard to find. A swap meet I went to in Dallas last fall one guy alone had about 10 pairs of them (the harder to find front ones), and earlier in the day I had bought two sets from a different guy of the blazer/4wheel drive wheel covers.

Also after looking at the pictures of the blazer it is no where near as bad as I was expecting. I wouldn't hesitate to work on it. With that bieng said it will be more time and money in the long run than finding a rust free blazer, but it is no where near unrepairable in my opinion.
