1972 was the last year of the First Generation Blazers. As such this truck has the desirable fully removable top leaving only the wind in your hair. This double walled top is in good condition for its age all of the glass is there without any chips cracks or scratches. The back latch lifts up easily and stays up. the new weather stripping all around keeps the elements out. 


The engine is an economical yet still powerful 307 SBC with a reliable 2 barrel carb on a duel plane manifold. It starts up easily every time and has a deep lumpy great sounding idle thanks to Flowmaster exhaust with brand new pipes. The ignition is a GM HEI Distributor with new Cap and Rotor & 7mm wires and new Accel shorty header Sparkplugs. 

The Trasmission in a Turbo TH350 with a new filter, and chrome pan and new gasket. it dose not leak here. Only leaking issue with this truck is the slight ATF leak that is coming from the back of the tranny where it joins the NP205 Transfer Case, it is currently missing the gasket there. Although I have purchased the gasket  and O-ring kit and it will come with the truck, I have not been able to install it yet. This leak dose not affect the driveability much of the truck, rather it is just annoying to me. The transfer case if fulled with Amsoil Synthetic gear lube, as is the rear end, which also recently got a new gasket and dose not leak.

The inner Fender wells were removed for better access to the engine bay in the pictures. They will be re-installed before pick up.

Other parts recently replaced: 
  • New 22 gal Fuel Tank with new Sending Unit. As you may know these tanks eventualy can rust out and leak, this one is brand new from Brothers, and is painted with truck bed liner on the outside to prevent scratching. The dash Fuel Gauge dosn't work so it will need to be replaced.
  • New Brakes all the way around. Front disk with new Pads and Rotors with rebuild Calipers professionally installed. Rear Drums have fresh pads and rebuilt kit with a well functioning Parking Brake.
  • New Idiot 5 position Tilt Steering Column, with a new style safe colapesable Intermediate Link and a rebuilt Stearing Box all profesionaly installed. It steers smoothly and has a very tight turning radius, lock to lock under power with no grinding at all.
  • New exaust pipes hooked up to Flowmasters, it sounds great!!
  • New stock sized Shocks at all 4 wheels.  This truck has a 3 inch body lift which makes it easy to get under an service when needed. 
  • New interior Vinyl Floor Mat in the cab area.  The rest of the truck's  interior has been coated with Rustolium Truck bed liner to provide years of service.
  • New windsiled wipers, and the Winshield Wiper motor works well on High and Low speeds.
The Good: Basically this truck is good to go. It starts, runs, drives, steers, and stops well. Good street & trails driver but a little slow on the highways. All head lights and running lights work. Most of the Fluids have been recently changed, including new ATF, Brake Fluid, Oil, Amsoil Synthetic Gear Lube for Transfer case and Rear end.
 Interior is in good shape ready for people to enjoy. Very comfortable. Tilt Steering helps out allot! All the windows roll up with a little effort. Doors shut solid. Weather stripping is new. Seats are in great shape. Chrome trim all around you. I put in some water resitant seat covers which have multiple zipper and velcro pockets on the sides and in the back for all your needs. Rear Vinyl seat is in decent shape with only a small tear on the arm rest in the back. No rips in the rear seat itself. Over all the White top is in great shape for its age! But the rear Hatch Latch dose not Lock.

Lots of Chrome: Chrome Door Threshold and Still Plates. Solid Chrome Bumpers front and back. Chrome Driver side Mirror. New Chrome wheel trim on all 4. Chrome Transmission Pan. Good Tires. plenty of tread on 33's. Subtle 3" lift kit makes it a nice head turner and easy to work underneath. Clean Title.

The Bad: Some minor elecricals like; Dash Fuel Gauge dosn't work. Some Dash light are out. No Horn Button. The Heating and AC Ducts have been taken out cus they were stinky and filled with 40 years of dust, these need to be replaced. The Heater and AC Fan dosn't work, and the origonal AC has been taken out by the previous owner not me....But Who needs it anyways just have a few guys help you take the top off and enjoy the sun and wind! Annoying ATF leak..needs gasket installed behind the transfer case adaptor which is included in sale.
Some minor body scratches, on the passeger side. Some body rot in the driver side rear quater panel. A little rust on the bottoms of the doors. Tailgate has a dent just below the Rear latch. See the pictures to tell for yourself. This is my best honest assesment of this truck. I regret selling it but it needs to go, family is expanding.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
