I also picked up a 71 4x4 blazer project to tinker with while this one is being built. No pics or build thread for that one yet. It's getting some work done to make it safe/reliable for the summer.

tell your mechanic to hurry up,lol

Talked to my mechanic this morning actually - rotors, calipers and ball joints were replaced today on the project blazer after they dug into the front suspension... I think that's the last of the repairs so after confirming no more leaks from almost every possible spot including the gas tank - I should get the truck back this week (finally)!

**lks dcvn** · 04-30-2017, 06:57 PM

I was wrong the alternator was the next thing to fail the inspection over the weekend - new alternator pending for the 71 Blazer project...

It was a west coast truck from California then to Washington then got to me .
Thanks I'm pretty happy with it....

**lks dcvn** · 06-23-2017, 12:34 PM

A few more updates from what was under the paint of the blue tub. A few spots of rust, but nothing compared to the original tub...

**lks dcvn** · 06-23-2017, 12:35 PM

more pix

**lks dcvn** · 06-23-2017, 12:36 PM

Last pic - one piece floor for the front section and at least one bedside to replace...

**lks dcvn** · 07-16-2017, 07:51 PM

update to the build - more progress being made...starting to look like a blazer again

gringoloco · 07-16-2017, 09:15 PM

Never would have guessed. That blue tub looked solid. Won't be much left other than frame rails and vin plate...

**lks dcvn** · 07-16-2017, 09:16 PM

Selling off the parts off the blue and original tubs to offset the cost of new sheet metal. The labor hours to fix the blue tub are more than buying new metal in some spots - so working smarter not harder in some spots.
