Up for sale is my '72 4x4 Chevy Blazer. To me, she's beautiful. This truck is special because the top is removable, and you have nothing but windshield. What you see currently on it is a chopped top to provide minimal cover to the driver. This is a classic model. It could be restored to showroom condition- with a whole lot of work, -or it could be left like it is and used as a truck to beat around. This particular body style was only made for 4 years: 1968-1972. Parts are generally homogenous across all years of this body style. This is a useful truck if you have muddy and/or rough places to go. I used it to play around at the lake and in the woods. All critical operating items are in working order. It cranks, runs, and drives. It starts without issue. I put a new battery and alternator in 2009. I also had a new power steering gearbox put on in 2009, concurrent with servicing the brakes. 4x4 works. Transmission shifts without issue. It has a rebuilt 350. I do not know the specifics about the rebuild, who rebuilt it, nor the origins of the motor. However, it runs awesome. 2 tires are new as of Oct. 2011. The other two are slightly dry rotted and leak air to the extent that I have to add air to the tires once a month. Included but not attached is the original headache rack. The truck passes local inspection. I had it inspected about a year ago. It is currently registered, but needing inspection. The bad: Currently, the truck is in rough condition. The doors are rough. I have them held shut with bungee cords. The windows do not roll down. There is some rust. There are a few spots around the outer edges of the windshield, a spot on the firewall, and some under-body rust. Kick panels are rusted out. The bed has had a spray-in bed liner, but not the cab. To be simple, the truck needs a paint job SOON. The seats are shot. Front driver side fender is dented. I have an OEM pre-painted white replacement, which will go with the truck. There are lots of little things going on with this truck that warrant attention. It is a 40+ year old truck. I hate to admit it, but I'm sure there are things I've missed (or learned to live with and forgotten about.) Please don't hold it against me. I've done the best I could. Original setup included radio, heater, and air conditioner. None of this is currently present. However, the setup is there and these items could be installed. The good thing I find about these trucks is that parts are readily available. I have not fixed all of the small things, because I didn't need it for anything other than in the woods and around the lake. I have had no problem finding any of the little parts needed to fix annoying things like wobbly headlights..... I would drive this truck anywhere. However, it is an extremely rough ride. Anything more than a few miles down the rd (I drive it 15 mi to my camp on the lake occasionally) I would recommend trailering it. Not to mention there is an extra hard top that goes with the truck. The odometer reads some 41,000 miles. I have no idea nor any way of finding out if it has rolled over. I am selling it, because I don't use it any more. Item is located in Lufkin TX near Loop 287 and HWY 59 S. I have a clear TX title in my name. Buyer is responsible for pick up. Local pick up only. Seller makes no warranties expressed nor implied.
