Re: 2WD Blazer Frame

Thanks That's what i was thinking. I might be jumping on the 2wd Blazer bandwagon but wasn't sure about pricing and costs! kind of got a little sticker shock on some of the suspension items. But i guess if it was easy\cheap everyone would be doing it!

That is what i have been reading on, this is where i am wondering if it is worth the extra money to buy an orginal 2wd or convert one? has far as re-sale value goes, do you think it is worth speeding the extra money up front to get the orginal 2wd blazer?

Re: 2WD Blazer Frame

IMO, a full custom conversion is worth as much as a customized original. If you're gonna cut it, why pay the extra $ for a factory 2wd.

Re: 2WD Blazer Frame



I'm NOT using bags on my next project and that is why I
bought a rare factory 2wd frame, your project may vary.

Re: 2WD Blazer Frame

To tell you the truth I wasn't thinking about it too hard until i came across a 2wd roller, it needs alot of work but i know how hard they are to come by. I might just buy it and park it in the garage until i finish my 71 4x4 and go from there? I would hate to live with regrets later on, you know the one that got away story. So i am looking into this 2wd roller pretty close i think i am going to stop bye sometime this week and get a closer look and see where it goes from there. until than i am trying to get has much info has possible, thanks for the feed back.
