Well after alot of thought, I've decided to forget trying to fix up the blazer. The body needs too much work, the fuel system is shot, the brake system needs to be replaced from end to end but the final straw was the motor is shot too. so here's what Rusty looked like last week.

looks like it has had lots of use throught the years. Are you parting her out?

Hooter · 11-27-2003, 02:57 AM

well man it's up to you, the quarters look shot and so do the rockers, but what kind of shape is the floor in?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-27-2003, 02:57 AM

Damn that is rusty!!!! Do I see a blazer in the window background??

Blue4x4 -- I'm taking the drive train to put in my pick up, and helping 72 Blazerman fill in the parts he needs. after that I'll make up an up for grabs list.

Hooter -- The floors are almost shot, that's part of the reason for giving up on it.

FRENCHBLUE72 -- The blazer in the window is the one that 72 Blazerman just bought...

Looks like I might actually have some competition.

knucklebuster · 11-27-2003, 12:09 PM

Does it still have the gas tank in it?

useRc10 · 11-27-2003, 12:11 PM

**old Rusty C10** · 11-27-2003, 12:12 PM

yeah that one was more work than it was worth sorry to say but at least ya can make some $$$ selling the parts

72 CustomCamper · 11-27-2003, 03:11 PM

Hey knucklebuster yeah it still has the tank. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to put it in the pick up or not. I wouldn't mind having 2 tanks in it. A 400 hp big block gets kinda thirsty...
