Should I buy or not??? 1972 Blazer
I know all you guys here are eager to help and give great advice. I’m thinking about buying a 1972 Blazer 4x4, to make into a 2wd blazer. The guy wants $900 for it. It has the usual rust at both rockers, a little under the driver’s side door, and the windshield frame. It has a dent on the left front fender, which I’m not concerned about because I’m going to put a 67 or 68 front end on it. It’s a straight 6 with PS, PB, and a manual trans; and runs. It’s current with DMV and has a clean title. What do you guys think, should I or shouldn’t I

I'm far from professional, but if it is mostly complete, you could easily recoup your $900 investment by parting it out. Check the rocker boxes though. If the rocker panels are rusted, there is a good chance the boxes are going too.

You are asking us if you should by a Blazer? That's like asking a fatman if you should buy a bag of candy!

If it runs and is registered it would hard to beat that price in California.

Buy?
No guys I didnt buy the k/5. When I went to go see it it had more rust than what the guy hd told me. Seeing how the guy lied to me, I didnt feel comfortable buying the truck. Thanks guys for the advice, it really came in handy.
