2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread

May have missed it but I don't think I've seen this one on the board yet...

Another I haven't seen before... not a fan of the wheels or the console but those are easily swapped.

I agree on the wheels and the console, but overall it looks pretty decent. The wheels wouldn't be too bad if they were a bit smaller and the rears had some lip to them.

That green one looks like it has a really rare underdash A/C in it that was made by GM specifically for the 67-72 GM trucks. If it is in fact the one I think it is, the knobs on it even match the dash knobs. I've only read about those and haven't ever seen a real picture of one until now.

I know what you mean!

This one doesn't look bad, but I'm pretty picky.

1) Why are there two different blues for body and top...
2) Why the CST trim on the body when you don't do it on the tail lights or tailgate, etc.
3) Why in the world would you put that late model burb/van interior in it...

....and furthermore, if it's a true, super rare, orig 2wd 70, why put a 71/72 clip on it? Whole thing seems a little fishy to me.
Hey Nick - put new shocks/coils all around and lower control arms on the '71. Rides and drives great now! Front and rear are now both 5 inch drop but what I can't figure out is how the left side is a little lower front and back.

I noticed that too. But thought somebody out there would like it.

I bet it does. I just put new shocks on my stepside and it made world of difference.
Did you put it up in the air and look at the body bushings? Not sure what else it would be.
I just sold my Billet Wheels off my stepper so it's off the street until I decide on what I want to throw on there next....
Any luck finding a locking mech for the rear hatch or you just cruise with the top off all the time?

I have a 1972 chevy 4x4 blazer and I am looking to swap it (frame and suspension)out for a 2-wheel drive train! Anyone interested?

Anyone know anything about this rig? Anything seem out of whack in looking at the photos? I have been following on eBay, but don't really want to buy a vehicle 15 hours away and find any surprises.

[Coursey]

Was intrested too. But it's 33 hours from me!

[Advanced Design]

Nice Jimmy. Hey, it is only 31 hours from me!

The owner is on instagram his user name is @slineball . Its a super clean ride for sure.

[NTR72GMC]

Here's one in northern Utah. It looks pretty rough though, wish the ad had more pics.

[61Cadman]

Already at 24K. Might be time to list mine.

I thought you had already sold it, the red one right?

[61Cadman]

I don't have the red one anymore. I have a medium olive 71:-).

The owner emailed me some pics. I will see if I can get them loaded today. Not a terrible looking one, but In my opinion, the shape does not warrant $8500. So my search continues :/

[twp1]

I agree! I have a good tube but want a complete frame and suspension for 2-wheel!!!

[rawdog]

there is another one on ebay now 72 witha 67 gmc front end on it

[smbrouss70]

Here is the one you were talking about... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271949120620...MakeTrack=true

That is board member SOON2BLAZE's Blazer/Jimmy Project Murphy's Law. He just finished it, and it is really nice.
