1971 CST Blazer rebuild - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I figured I would start a thread to update on this ongoing project. Bought out of Sidney, MT a few years ago. Decent blazer, underside and most of the body is solid. I have to replace the drivers rear quarter as it was poorly repaired. Already have the patch. Drivers floor needs a small 2"x2" patch and that's about it. Have a replacement passenger door already. 350 is out of a 78 chevy and has no power so it'll eventually be the basis for a 383. Turbo 350 works great. NP205 is brand new. Rear end needs a rebuild. Probably going to go with a new 6" lift. Have powder coated steelies and super nice hubcaps for it. Will be 35s on. Interior is partially done, just need to finish it. Will most likely strip it and repaint it first. Have a tilt, tow hooks, tach and some other goodies for it. I need to track down a fiberglass repair shop in MT, ND, or MN to repair the tops and hatch. Really just needs a few tiny patches. Needs all new trim as well, and of course, a repaint in the original dark olive. One of my favorite colors. Anyways, I'll post up the pics I have of it now. And when I make progress I'll update this thread
