newibe from ohio with 72 2wd blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1972_C/5 · 08-04-2009, 01:43 AM

Ok so I am new to the site and just thought I would take a second to introduce myself and tell you all about my project. I recently aquired a original 2wd 72 chevy blazer. Truck need a total restoration but body is solid and not rusty. I am planning to put a 350 in it with a mild cam, prehaps headers and a gear drive. The plan right now is to lower the truck to a yet to be determined level( no major cutting) and put 17" rims on it. It should be painted red with black inteior which will be custom. Will appriciate any advice on both engine and suspension as I am currently working on both of those stages!

ok so here is some pics of the project from where i found it burried in a localbarn here in ohio. i should be able to get some more pics of it here after awhile. i dont have it back here to my house yet as i am cleaning the garage to get it in before winter hits. i am ready to get the old girl on the road.

VA72C10 · 08-26-2009, 12:21 AM

Wowzers, looks like a LITTLE bit of work

1972_C/5 · 08-26-2009, 12:30 AM

yeah tell me about it. i am putting a nose on it from a 68 so that will eliminate alot of the cosmetic as far as the front goes. frame and body tub are solid so no worries there. interior is non existant tho. guess its time to fab up a custom one.

Sounds ideal then as long as you got a decent price on it. My future plans for a blazer include a 67/68 Nose, custom interior, and slammed

If it's got a good frame and tub you're well ahead of the game.
