Ready to join the club

Bringing my 72 4x4 4 speed Blazer home this weekend. Not the prettiest - but oh the potential.

Re: Ready to join the club

Turn it into my daily driver so I can begin the frame off of my 69 SWB. And have fun next winter if it turns out as bad as this one has been.

Looks clean except for the fact that you need to replace the bottom foot around the vehicle it looks like. Good luck and enjoy.

Picked it up. More rust than I had hoped, but it is a start. Will probably be looking for a new tub. Will post pics later.
