Starter of 1972 Blazer

[Jdubs71]

Welcome to the board youngster. If your battery is going dead it could be it needs replaced or your alternator is not charging it. Now a days you can go to nearly any auto parts store and have free tests performed on your battery alternator and starter. Just some advice to you, don't go throwing money into parts that may not be the problem. It can get expensive fast. When it comes to being safe I would much rather be driving a car made of steel vs. a pos prius or something similar made from plastic. Make sure it has brakes that work properly good tires and a healthy running engine and you should be fine.
