1970blazin

General
Manufacturer: Chevrolet
Year:1970
How long have you owned this truck?:Since March 2003
History behind the truck:Bought from the original owners son in Beaverton Oregon. The son told me that the Dad had ordered it new from the factory in 1969, but the factory went on strike, so his order didn't make it in until 1970. I have all the paperwork- handwritten of everything he EVER did to the truck including changing the headlight bulbs! Also have the Protecto- plate. The Orig. owner's son has kept in touch via email and we have sent him progress pics as we have done the restoration of the blazer. He came all the way from Hawaii to give us the original paperwork a few mounths after we bought the blazer and took pictures of all the work we had done.
