New member looking for a rig

[Tbruz]

Greetings,
I'm a new member to the Blazer community.
I've loved the looks and size of the 71 and 72 Blazer since I was a kid.
Lately I have way less time available for a restoration project so I am looking to purchase a fully restored 71 or 72 for a daily driver.
Any and all leads appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Welcome to CK5. Spend some time over on 67-72chevytrucks.com. You'll be much more likely to find a turnkey rig over there.

Welcome!

A fellow NH guy too!!


Can't help you on a turnkey truck, but rest assured once you have one and you have questions (and you WILL have questions!) this will be a great resource to get help.

What's the budget here?
10K & up or staying under 10K?

What parameters are you working with?

Meaning, drive-train expectation's, roll bar or cage, 2wd or 4x4, lifted or stock...etc?

Thanks for the welcome.
Time is my constraint,Budget is wide open......Recently restored an early Bronco and it took three years of my life and way too much $$.
This way I figure I'll just spend the money and save the three years.

Perfect rig for me is 4x4 CST, auto or 4 apeed, 100% restored to Grandpa bone stock showroom condition.

Not bone stock but it is a truly amazing blazer and it's soon to be up for sale.

Nice! Looks to be 2WD at the moment though.

Good catch, no idea why the drive shaft is missing.

The guy who built it is on the 67-72 board and did an A+ job on all of it.

New Member looking for a rig - UPDATE

Got One!
1972 CST 4 speed, fully restored.
While not as satisfying as restoring/building it myself, the "instant gratification" factor of not working on a project for two years was worth it.
Thanks to those who sent leads my way.

Gee.....you sure know how to hurt a guy.





















Um yeah, and pics or it didn't happen.... kind of a rule around here.

Did some one say pics?!

 

[Tbruz]

[ChefBear]

Er, that should read With Pic. You gotta post some more pics, that is a fine K5!

 

[jonrpick]

Don't let Artzner see that!

He may just have to steal it so he'll have a matching set of 1st and 2nd gen, green/white full 'vert K5s!

Nice truck!
