2wd square body blazers

i know the 70-72 versions are highly sought after. but i'm not too familiar with the 73-up trucks. wondering how a stock 70's 2wd blazer desirability compares. original paint, hub caps, etc. also, what if anything would be special to look for?

thanks.

They are uni-corns and nobody really worries about stock stuff as the whole point is to drop them.

You would probably have a better chance of meeting the actual Santa Clause than finding a rust free original paint/chrome 2wd blazer or Jimmy. If you do find one you could almost name your price.....

interesting. guess it's time to ring a doorbell...

I don't think they are near as rare as the 72 and earlier. They periodically show up on Phoenix CL. They sell for decent money just not what I would.consider a ton. I usually seen clean original 4x4s at higher prices but it may just be a regional thing.

I think it's a regional thing. Around here they are getting at least double the money that the 4WD versions get in the same condition.

Even the 4X4 are a hard find up here.
I've been wondering how rare the jimmys are,can't really find much info
but
if there was about(1 gmc made for every 9 chev)
then break that down to blazer/jimmy in 4X2
In town I've only seen 1 Jimmy 4X2 full top with a 454
a OMG rough 81 blazer 4X2= stock
and both the 78 and 79 i found,lived 3+ hours from me.
I was busy helping at a show and, i met this guy who has another red 79.....
Not sure if he believed me lol but i gave him my number,said he's had it in town 15 yrs.
otherwise i've seen none

My friend had 2 original Chevy 2wd blazers for a while but they were 82 and a 86. 4 wheel drive trucks seem really expensive in Phoenix yet in Colorado they are relatively cheap. I think it is just certain areas have more or one type or another which reflects in the prices. California seems to be very big on lowered trucks.

location location location lol for sure.
some think these are hacked up trucks,not made stock
I have people knock on the door asking if the red truck is for sale.....
wife says (red) cause it looks like it's parked for sale.
a kid came by and asked,
I said no,he shows up a week later ripping around in a f@&d Ronco.
i guess gender didn't matter lol,
lady next door didn't think it ran till we cleared out the yard with it

If it was an 86, it wasnt a factory 2wd. They stopped making them in 82.

Ya, the more I think about it they were almost the same blazers must have been 81-82. I know he sold the 82 for $2500 withe original paint and it was straight.

ASU bro's would never be caught driving a 2wd, its not bro approved.
