72 2wd Blazer Airride & 20's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 12:35 AM

1972 Blazer. Original Georgia truck all its life. Very solid straight truck. Air ride with Firestone bags , four-way manual valves hidden in console with digital gauges. C-notched with adjustable panhard bar. 18x8 and 20x10 reversed torque thrusts with like-new tires. 69 Camaro rear-end with 2000 Camaro rear disc brakes. 400 hp 350 with big cam , turbo 350 and headers with flowmasters. Tilt wheel, factory tach, nice interior with newer carpet including rear floor. Paint is old but is presentable. Single-wall top in good shape with one crack in upper part of liftgate.

Runs great, can drive anywhere. Turns heads all of the time.

I took it to the Indy truck bash this summer and had a blast. It made Truckin', Classic Truck, and Street Truck magazines in the show coverage.

I have to sell because of a new house purchase.

$12000.

That thing is awesome, interesting color too, I would rather live in it then a house :p

Is it an original 2wd or a 4x4 conversion.

K5KRAZIE · 11-15-2003, 02:41 AM

AWESOME!!

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 03:09 AM

It is an original 2wd. The truck is actually very original. It only has one repaint over the original paint. They didn't even use primer. The original paint must have just been faded. The radio hole has never been cut.

Thanks
Dave

really nice ride , did you do the air ride yourself ? what bags are you running in the front ?

Roberty · 11-15-2003, 12:33 PM

It's my old Blazer.

Looks like you've spent some $$ and time on it since you got it from me Rotadyne.

Hate to see you let 'er go.
Robert

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 12:45 PM

I used 2600 lb. Firestone bags in front and 2500 out back. I made my own brackets since Air Ride technologies stuff doesn't let it go very low. I did my friend's '67 short fleet the same way. Here is a pic of his truck.

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 01:31 PM

Hey Roberty!

Yeah, I have to sell her. It looks like I will relocate to the Atlanta area in the beginning of the year. It is too damn cold up here! I also sold the '58 Nomad. I will never sell the '57 in the background. I owned it since I was 13. I will also keep my work horse '68 SWB fleet with the tuned port motor. It still has 10 different colors of paint and primer. I am also piecing together a phantom '36 chevy roadster pu which I need money for. Here is a pic of the '68, I dont think you have seen it before.

Dave

71PROSTBLAZER · 11-15-2003, 02:01 PM

would you recomend the 2600 lb. bags even with a bb motor ?

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 02:11 PM

no problem with the bb and 2600 bags

Dave

71PROSTBLAZER · 11-15-2003, 02:35 PM

sent you a pm

Roberty · 11-15-2003, 02:41 PM

Your '68 looks like it will be really nice when you get it painted, Dave.

You still have the wheels and tires off the Blazer that were on it when you bought it? I would be interested in buying them if you still have them.
Robert

rotadyne · 11-15-2003, 02:58 PM

Remember Johny with the cab. He bought the wheels off me.

sorry
Dave

Roberty · 11-15-2003, 03:08 PM

I figured you had sold them but I thought I'd ask - you never know.

bouncytruck · 11-15-2003, 03:27 PM

Very nice blazer. I wish I had $ and I was closer. Good luck selling it.

That Blazer is cool, but that '67 is THE COOLEST! I hope my truck will be that cool after I paint it.

Drink beer.
