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.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
