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.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

General Motors CEO Provides Few Details In Appearance Before Congress

Wed, Apr 2 2014

It was only two months ago that Mary Barra, freshly crowned as the new General Motors chief executive officer, visited Washington DC as an esteemed guest of First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union address. On Tuesday, Barra returned to the Capitol under more strained circumstances. For more than two contentious hours, she took questions from members of a House of Representatives subcommittee investigating General Motors years-long delay in initiating a recall of millions of vehicles that contained a defect that has killed at least 13 people. Why did GM accept faulty ignition switches that were below the company's set specfications? Why did GM learn about the problem in 2001 yet take no action until 2014? Will GM compensate victims' families even though the company's bankruptcy may limit its liability? Those were a few of the questions members of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee asked. Few concrete answers were forthcoming. For her part, Barra sidestepped most of the questions, saying she wouldn't have information needed to answer them until an internal review is completed. David Friedman, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, testified after Barra. The biggest news that emerged from the hearing was that General Motors has retained attorney Kenneth Feinberg to advise the company on its civil and legal responsibilities. He has made a career of resolving disputes and serving in a 'fixer' role, serving as the chief of the federal government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an administrator of compensation fund for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and a similar fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Barra, who has been GM's CEO since January but been with the company since 1980, expects to meet with Feinberg on Friday, and have a concrete plan within the next 30-60 days. Yet Barra would not say for certain Tuesday that GM would compensate the victims at all. Despite repeated questions from Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Barra did not outline the company's intentions. "I assume GM is hiring (Feinberg) to help identify the size of claims and then compensate the victims? Is that right," DeGette asked. "Is GM willing to put together some kind of a compensation fund for these victims that Mr. Feinberg will then administer?" "We've hired him to help assess the situation," Barra replied. "So really, there's no money involved at this point," DeGette asked.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
