Blazer question ? HELP

[budder71]

was the Blazer or Jimmy 69-72 ever offered/come/special order in a
2 color combination ? or were they all solid colors with the optional
white or black top ?

[lks dcvn]

AFAIK - there were only solid colors with only a white or black top choice

I've never heard of a factory 2-tone.

[budder71]

wow..... thats what I thought... I am doing a frame off/ground up restorattion on a
71/72 Blazer that is factory Orange and I was hoping they came in a 2 tone Orange and White.... That's a lotta Orange if you know what I mean....

I've seen a few done that way (two-tone) and they look good. I believe they use shortbed upper trim and modify it to fit to separate the colors.

[budder71]

yes I have the NOS upper molding to break the color up top and then the
lower trim would break it down low.... just can't decide..... it is very very
hard to make the decision.... it is all original 53K miles 2 owner Blazer, top
never removed, 4 bolt main 350 with 194 heads.....

Here is one in yellow. I think they look very sharp this way.

I know nothing about this Blazer, just have the picture. I think I got it off a for sale ad in 2004.

I know how you feel. I've toyed with the idea of converting mine to 2wd, but it is so close to original, I can't decide. I think I just need to get some more $ and get a 2wd too.

...or sell that sweet original blazer for all it's worth and buy the 2wd you want.

I must be wierd. I am planning on selling my 2wd 72 blazer when I get done fixing it up for an all original, unrestored 4 wheel drive blazer! Of course that won't be for another year or two.

Unfortunately, it may go up for sale just to survive the economy...

I hear ya, times are tough but just the same I'm hoping it doesn't have to happen.

One of the nicest survivors around, I know you'll do your best to hang onto it.
