Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build
Not much since these pix were taken. Body was stripped to bare metal and epoxy primed. It was moved out of the shop in Oct 2019. Now waiting to be finished up by another shop. I'm working on 2 other restorations (71 4x4 Blazer & 70 2wd Jimmy) while this one waits in the wings. I'm driving them as much as I can when weather permits and making updates along the way.
We are a few months away from any more updates on this one as it collects dust in the interim. |

Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build
Could you post a couple of close-up photos of the “B” pillar bottom where it meets the tub floor.
Looking to see how far in B pillar goes on the tub floor. Thanks, Les |

Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build
The B-pillar lines up almost with the raised pads on the cargo floor. There are a few things that need to line up though and I'm sure there is are some nuances for each install (how many OEM parts vs. aftermarket):
Here is a better shot - older picture. After building one of these up from scratch (on my 71 4x4 Blazer project) - I can see how these all rusted out in the B-pillar as there are several pockets for mud, etc. can hide and cause issues. |

Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build
Wild! I was just telling my wife about this truck and then you update! I am so jealous! What a nice truck. Makes me want to just give up on mine and do what you did. Oh well. I guess mine will just be a rat rod.

Re: Lks Dcvn - 1972 2WD Blazer Build
Milestone reached...first hit of color. It's pretty amazing how the same color can look so different inside/outside/shade/sunlight.
