Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build

There are no rear seat brackets - nor evidence that they were ever installed. Looks like a rare no rear seat truck.

Glad to see your saving this 1, What are your plans for this, New tub has mounts for rear seat are you going Deluxe or plan Jane? Post some photo's of the OEM parking brake set up on the frame please. 44 yr old sound deadening floor mat, Yikes!

Thanks all - lots of work to do on this one.

Not sure if I will ever use a rear seat on this truck. I may add nylon bolt inserts to the holes to keep the threads intact, clean up bed and just enjoy it for the short term.

Plans are as follows:

Locate clean 67/68 front clip, doors, tailgate - pending
Clean up chassis - removing rust scale, undercoating
Rebuild suspension - not sure if staying stock height or not yet - swaying toward 2.5/4 drop at this time
Install 5 lug rallys with 275/60 tires - have wheels, need tires
Locate LS motor/updated trans (still need an automatic crossmember)
Get it running/stopping by the end of the year (I hope)

I'd like to get it safe before I get it pretty.

I did take a few pix of the ebrake stuff in this thread.

Thanks, OOPS and Duh Huh on my part, Wish I could absorb what I read.

The tear down began this weekend...

More pictures of the disassembly - appears to be the original upper ball joints (rivets intact) on the front suspension buried under a lot of grime.

Curious to know what the actual mileage is on this blazer if those are still the originals.
