Gotta love a Minnesota Blazer
Story Time. When I bought my Blazer a couple summers ago I knew it was a little rough and cobbled together. It had been a plow truck part of its life and had been well used, but I didn't care as I had wanted one forever. When I took the top off last summer and I couldn't open the doors any longer I knew I was in trouble. I Duke's of Hazzard'd it all summer and still had a blast. With spring in the air last night I took the prybar and some plyers to the rear bed floor so see what I was working with. Behold the horrors I found. Now the snowball begins, do I order a new bed floor, and quarters, and wheel wells? Once I have those I could just as well order front floors and rocker boxes too. My beater will no longer be a beater hahaha.

Re: Gotta love a Minnesota Blazer
Wow... was that a spray-foam repair? I once bought a 66 GMC pickup that looked pretty good. A few months after I bought it the bottoms of the front fenders popped out. The previous owner had Bondo over paper towels.

Re: Gotta love a Minnesota Blazer
That one is pretty rusty even by minnesota standards. I hope you have good welding skills. Bowtie truck stop in MN should have most of the parts you need.

Re: Gotta love a Minnesota Blazer
Still, it's better than not having a Blazer at all...
