Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

Bought Me One today! It's a 1976 Chevy Blazer Cheyenne. I will post some pics tomorrow. I went and picked it up on the East side of Atlanta (about 230 miles from home) and drove the old boy home without issue. It got about 14 mpg. I will post a pic or 2 tomorrow.

YEHHHH!!!!

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

It's already kinda dark out, but here are some preliminary pics of the latest toy.

It has a recently installed GM crate 350 and freshly rebuilt TH400. It has new American Racing 15x8" aluminum modular wheels w/ BFG All Terrain T/A's, lots of new parts in the back and most of the truck is in really good shape. The front floor boards...not so much. But I didn't give a mint for it, so I am very please.

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

Nice nlped! You do not see that color much at all and I have never seen it on a 2wd blazer.

Nope, it's a 2wd. It has some lift coilover shocks on all 4 corners.

Lordy lordy, very nice score indeed. It sits like a 4x4, has BFG All Terrain tires like a 4x4, and it's hard to tell in the poor light but it looked like it had front hubs. I thought you got a 4x4 to convert.

Very, very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing this one come closer to the asphalt.

Coming from you that a huge compliment! I've almost decided to just keep it and start tearing it down for bags and a Hot Rod Flats paint job.

Maybe after the first of the year....

Hey jdurant, does anyone actually make a "big" replica of the factory rally rims like what you've photoshopped?

It is but would probably be cheaper to get the front end off of a c-10 pickup and use it. There is at least one thread on here that documents this conversion.

Yeah, I've figured I might be doing. That kit just had everything I wanted with one hit to the wallet

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

I've got an 81 2WD that I've had almost 15 years. I redid all the mechanicals as soon as I got it, drove it hard for about 4 years, sold it, bought it back 3 years later, and then blew it apart to redo it. Yeah, that was about 7 years ago. I've since replaced the doors and front cap with rust free/dent free replacements, but that's about it. Life and my 66 C-10 got in the way. On a side-note, I've been noticing a lot of you guys favor the 73-80 fronts over the 81-87. I don't get it. But I've got a complete 80 front cap (except for the bumper) that's been in my shed for 12 or 13 years. It didn't have any rust when i put it in there, but one of the marker lights was shaved. I've also got a near perfect tailgate off the same 80 pickup. Never really thought about selling any of that stuff because I really didn't think anyone would want it. Anywho...
