Vile,
i shouldnt have sold my 83 k5 when i was younger.It had some rust issues but nothing i couldn`t have fixed.I`d like to get a 73-80 style as well.
Good luck if you do decide to get 1, i know your up to your neck in the mutt project and the 74 motor rebuild as well.But where would you house this blazer once done? Your gonna need a bigger garage to house 4 vehicles.

thanks

lol, I'll find room! I have a big yard and a huge garage at work at my disposal too so Storage isn't a big deal. I do want a Blazer so bad though.

Vile, I've got some what of a blazer I gave it to my oldest son as a project for him but after 2 years of sitting and him not touching it I aquired it back I was tired of it sitting and taking up space I would have helped him but he would rather someone buy him a brand new one and GIVE it to him. Originally it is an 86 frame with a 4" lift I found a real good body for a $125.00 floors,rockers and all are great just the section across the tailgate typical so as soon as I get time to put the two pieces together I'll do it myself then he'll want it after the work is all done. First thing I told him to do was put the gas tank in and new brake lines before we put the body on I had already POR15 the frame he wouldnt even put the tank in after I bought him the straps sorry just frustrated with the whole thing now I'll put it together to show him anything is possible but you have to work at it a little.
