Hey i just got a 70 blazer when i got it i bought if ebay wanting to make a 2wd but when i bought i found out its an origional 1 owner i got all the papers since new including all the registration its factory black with a white top origional drive train should i just keep it stock or turn it into a 2wd like i origionally wanted what do you think

Big J · 12-31-2008, 03:32 PM

Build it to your hearts desire. With that said I'd just lower it a bit, toss some wheels on and enjoy. Pics please.

To each their own.... it's your rig do what you like.

I understand why you would like to find a 4x and change it to a 2wd, so I'm behind you.

But...

OARNGESI · 12-31-2008, 04:30 PM

Its got the normal rust for the year ballery area rockers windshield frame a little in doors floors are good its been repainted brown and i think i actually got it at a pretty reasonable price for shape heres the pics on ebay

gtomechanic · 12-31-2008, 04:51 PM

I dont think you'll hurt the value any converting it to 2WD.I sure would like to have those back slider windows if you decide to go topless.

OARNGESI · 12-31-2008, 05:13 PM

Are they origional

**jaros44sr** · 12-31-2008, 06:01 PM

Never saw the rear sliders before

No sliders are original. They might be a dealer add on.

I was watching that one as well - not to bid - just curious to see what it went for.

Nice score. Seems pretty solid.

As mentioned - it is your truck - you can build it however you want. If you want a 2wd - go for it.

OARNGESI · 12-31-2008, 08:10 PM

$950 he gave me the back hatch it wasnt mentioned and a extra set of rims for it the picture of rust on the top of the fender concerned me a little but it actually turned out in better shape than i thought

Jtrux · 12-31-2008, 08:18 PM

Looks like a good price to me. Personally I couldn't make any blazer 2wd but then again everything I own is 4x4 so it's up to you. If it's what you had planned when you bought it, I say do what you want.

The rear sliders are pretty cool, probably worth some money. If you ever swap them out ( i'm not trying to buy them ) i'm sure someone will jump on them and regular side glass is easy to find, i've got a set myself.

OARNGESI · 12-31-2008, 08:26 PM

Actually i may end up selling them i like the regular glass better

gtomechanic · 12-31-2008, 10:13 PM

Is there any mention of the sliding windows on the option sheet on the back of the glovebox door? Can you post a picture of the options?Looks like it has some good ones.

go 2wd, that's what I'd do

Convert. It isn't a rare truck in pristine condition so it can't hurt the value. I see a lot of non-original items (mirrors, antenna, wheels, etc.). The truck needs work so anything you do will increase the value. Build what you want.

I appreciate that, but it was ideas from this board or my body guy that makes mine cool. I was just going to go topless with flat black paint. With a good body guy I've got way more then that.

Look other peoples blazers and write down what you like and dislike about them the most. Then do what YOU want.
