Here is my 1971 Jimmy, with 2.5 inch lift, 33x12.50x15 on 15x10 wheels

Great looking GMC, love the front fascia on these Jimmy's and love this color, you rarely see it anymore, really nice example and super clean.

Is that an all spring lift? Which brand did you use? I'm shopping for my springs now, I wanted the Skyjackers 2.5 in spring kit but they bump the rears to 4 inch and I want to keep the original stance (call me crazy). Very nice looking blazer!

I can't remember. I don't have the springs under it right now. The springs are at my parents place now. I'm headed down there this week for the 4th and will look at them to see who's they are. I do know I bought them as a 2.5" lift and the actually gave about 4" of lift.

CONGRATS ON THE NEWBORN, I`m sure I`ll meet you and the Blazer sometime in the future, till then have a good one. Nick

Thank you for the compliment Jeff. It took a few years to do but the end result was worth it.
Can't wait for the nice weather to hit so I can do some top off cruisin'.

Thanks for the kind words...I've had a bunch of Chevy's but the last two I've had have been GMC's ...they are fast becoming my favorites just because of the low production numbers and I think the front ends do stand out also! I'd like to build it bigger but it fits in the garage by 1 inch! Sooooo....

SACRAMENTO 71 · 04-18-2013, 10:03 AM

GREAT LOOKING BLAZERS BOYS, It is always nice to see quality Blazers.

Just put some new 38"X14.50 BFGS on my Blazer, thought I would share.

do you know if a 1977 center console is identical to a 1972 chevy blazer? they look pretty close.

66crewcab · 04-19-2013, 12:12 AM

same thing...just has cup holders

blazer1972 · 04-19-2013, 12:24 AM

WHaT DO YOU MEAN GONE. I was the one who left you a note at lowes in dowingtown.

72blazerblue · 05-01-2013, 11:29 PM

Here's mine. Slowly but surely coming around. When I got it-to a couple months ago.

Joanne · 05-06-2013, 03:17 PM

My dad had a red '69 4wd followed by a '72 2wd (wish I had that one now!) The very first vehicle I ever drove was his white '72. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for it, so I started looking for my own 1st gen blazer. Mine is rough but it wasn't modded or beat to death. Just worn out.

Here's the "before" shot.

Unfortunately there is no "after" shot since I'm just getting started on the project.

This is the truck that I am going to model my build after. A clean, no nonsense look.

Green is a tough color to get just right, but I love this color.

Big Block · 05-06-2013, 03:39 PM

Looks like a good start. Looks like it's all there. Good luck and welcome to the board.

Thanks for the welcome. I had to track down some original front seats, the rear seat, and the center console. I'm planning on a restomod style rebuild with a 383, throttle body injection for drivability and meeting emissions, new springs for about 3" lift, rebuild on the drive train components, and a nice interior.

My daughter laid claim to it before my son had the chance, so when I kick the bucket she will get a nice Blazer. My son has a '66 Mustang so I don't feel tooo bad about it.

Wow! Great eye so see that Blazer/Jimmy in that photograph. That picture is proof that the role bar works.

dvani · 06-05-2013, 01:27 AM

Took the top off for the first time since we bought it last year. The kids love it....not so sure about the wife.
