I am the new owner of a 1972 gmc blazer 4x4. I wanted a chevy but this was one hell of a deal. Te body is in decent shape minus the usual rust spots. Ipaid $600.00 bucks for this thing and it actually runs, 4-wheel drive even works. The hard top is in pretty bad shape though. Is they're a company out there that makes new hard tops for these things? The onlyrelly bad body damage is the right rear quarter panel. I think Iwill have to remove it and weld in a new one. I don't know much about blazers, just the trucks is this a hard fix? I hope to get some pics soon.

Oh the horror, it's a "Jimmy" not a Blazer.

Anyway sounds like a good deal.

There is a 72 Jimmy blazer with a good single wall top sitting in the junkyard a couple miles south of me. I pulled the rear hatch off last year and sent it to another board member. The back seat is also in excellent shape.

I know its a long drive though.
