Frustrated
Hi, I'm new to the forum an admiring all the great looking builds here. I"ve been looking for a Blazer for about a year now. Why are they so hard to find?
Willing to spend decent money on an original non rusted truck. I have a 74 Bronco Ranger I'm getting ready to sell but if I can't find a nice original Blazer I just might have to keep the old Ford. |

Not mine. Been for sale for a bit...been on eBay twice I think. They're usually all dissolved in our neck of the woods. |

Re: Frustrated
Thanks, Really looking for a 71,72. Most of the ones in ga are rough woods Trucks. That 70 looks nice its close to my house but the engine bay looks a little rough for the price..

Re: Frustrated

Re: Frustrated
Yes. He is having it done at a place at the intersection of Univeter Rd. and 140. I don't know anything about them. He was told he would have it back in a few weeks, but from the looks of your bronco you are probably familiar with the likelihood of that timeline.

I own a 71 Bronco Sport, which I've restored, in addition to my 72 Blazer. I never understood why the early Broncos brought such big money compared to the first gen Blazers. The ealy Broncos were made for 10 years (66-76) so there are a lot of them out there (granted with various ungrades to the drivelines). GM made the first gen Blazer for only 4 years, so they are relatively rarer. |

Re: Frustrated
I've got both, a 76 Bronco and a 72 Blazer.
Both are back to bone stock show room condition. Using my East Coast standards for pricing (not sure if its demand or popularity based), but the Bronco is worth more than the Blazer by around 10Gs Tbruz |

Re: Frustrated
Wow tbruz. Great looking pair. I forgot that I've got a very similar Bronco stored. It's completely stock and probably wouldnt take much to get it pretty clean.
Now my 72 Blazer...........that's another story.

Re: Frustrated
Thanks for the compliments!!
Wasn't meaning to hijack the thread, just wanted to share that for some strange reason the Early Broncos are worth more than the the Gen 1 Blazers. Finding that's true from basket case condition all the way up to when restored to BJ quality condition. Tbruz |

Re: Frustrated
I guess I need to learn something. I thought the 69-72 Blazers are pretty much the same.
Hold24, why would'nt you want a 69?
