consider that in 1972 they made 44,266 4x4's and only 3,357 4x2's, so converting a 4wd makes sense if you really want a 2wd. i personally would not pay a premium for a converted blazer but some might. credit source: http://outintheshop.com/prodnum.html

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Actually a lot of people have done that. I had an extra 71 blazer that I sold after I took what I needed off of it and almost everyone that looked at it was going to convert it to two wheel drive. Back then I thought they were crazy, the only reason I bought mine was because it was a 4x4. But now that I know how few 2 wheel drives they made I can kinda understand why they would want to do that.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Originally built by a board member, he sold it and then another board member just bought it. Sure wish I had and extra $30K laying around.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
I drove that blazer when it was in San Diego for sale, it was nice then and there has been some work done to it since. Aside from just buying it, I find it weird that he has it for sale for $5k more than than he probably bought it for. It is a nice blazer though.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Some of those rigs have pretty decent price tags for 2wd blazers but some of the mods are pretty questionable in my opinion

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
Bouncy, A lot of this was done by ATP another board member. He did 1 heck of a job. I know that He really hated to see it leave His driveway in Florida headed to Michigan. Adam, I never did get a chance to say thank you but I am now. Job well done.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
I really need to unsubscribe to this thread. Some great trucks, for some pretty good prices. Wish I would have find this site/thread before I bought mine. It just shows I did pay too much. Oh well, it's mine now. Hope to have it on the road this year.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
I need to unsubscribe also... some of these Blazers are very nice and for less than I already have in my '71 swb pick up.
