Advertising:

I am reselling a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer 2-Door 5.7L 350 4WD Manual Trans Convertible Soft Top that I recently purchased from ebay.

The previous owner did not advertise clearly or disclose some key items about this vehicle and I know I will take a loss on this.

This would be a great truck for do a full restoration, but it was more than I was anticipating.

I wanted something that I could functionally use more or less as-is when I got it and work on it over the next several years, and this didn't quite meet my expectations

I will not even show exactly what the previous sellers communicated as I think it is very misleading. I have included a vast list of pros/cons of this truck.

I don't want anyone to not have a good idea of what they are purchasing. I do not know the history of this vehicle, and there are probably other pros/cons that I do not yet know. Feel free to ask questions, and I will do my best to answer what I can.

I have a clean & clear title from state of Tennessee for this truck that will be signed over to the winning bidder.

Here are the Positives:

Confirmed as a 350 engine by engine serial number. Starts easy and runs pretty good and seems very strong (I have 2 other V8 trucks that seem very weak in comparison)
Manual locking Hubs and manual transfer-case 4wheel drive, all seem to work. Jumps around on pavement anyways!
Aluminum Eldebrock intake
Eldebrock 4 barrel Carburetor
Dual Headers and exhaust
Soft top
Nice tires and aluminum wheels. 33 x 12.5 General Grabber AT2. Have good tread left and don't show bad signs of ageing or dry rot.
I think gas tank has been replaced in past with plastic. Either way, it look to be in great shape.
Possibly a 2.5-3" lift kit. The blocks under the rear springs measure about that much.
3 on the Tree shifter was converted to a floor shifter
External body looks decent for its age except what is listed in the Con section.
Passenger fender and fenderwell seem very new
Driver fender and fender well are in great shape (must have been replaced at some point years ago)
Passenger door is decent shape, and probably a keeper if doing a restore. Opens and closes well.
The exterior body seems to have been painted in the last decade at least (originally blue - now white) and is not bad looking besides a few rust areas starting to show and driver lower door area listed below
INCLUDED in sale - new weld on replacement rocker panels (both sides), new black floorboard carpet kit ($300 OER- TB14201B4C), new B piller lower replacement panel for driver side (see pictures)
*recent new windshield and dash pad (both look in good shape)
*recent Cam Timing Chain

*Note: These were just reported by previous seller, I do not know actual condition other than what I can see

Here are the Cons (in rough order of importance):

Transmission grinds some going from 2nd to 3rd. Don't know the issue (synchronizer maybe?), but obviously needs something done to it.
Driver Door is very difficult to open and close. Its as if the door is too wide for the opening.
The driver side B piller is not very stable and can move back and forth. Needs rusted supports replaced. This adds to the door problem
Floor board area has had lots of patch panels in the past and is ready for new ones in many places. Worst places being near rocker panels, under and behind main seats.
Both doors need new window regulators. Both are missing interior arm pads and, cranks, and there is only 1 door opening handle that has to be used for both doors. The driver & passenger vent turn out window needs repair or replacement as it it not secured on the bottom and cannot be left open
Several of the cab support boxes near the outside of the body are rusted out and need replacements
Driver side door lower exterior needs to have new skin, or new door due to significant rust.
Right Turning radius seems poor. Left may be normal, but don't really know. I have never drove one of these models, but my 79 blazer has a much better turning radius than this truck.
Rear shocks frame mounts have been altered by someone (maybe during reconstruction of rear bed area (see below). Its not the best welding/fabrication I have seen.
Soft top is fairly thin and not high quality. It was advertised as new, but it has some broken buttons and one of the zipper slides is missing.
The rear "bed" area (including back seat area) has been replaced with a steel plate sometime in the past. It is rusty, but due to being so thick, it does not need replace. several of the corners in the bed area are significantly rusted (not quite as bad as the front cab area described above)
The tail gate is bent some in the middle area - bend is from inside pushing out (probably something too heavy put or dropped on the tailgate when down)
Dual exhaust turns out in front of rear tires and goes over leaf springs. The springs have been compressed enough the past to partially collapse the exhaust. The 90 degree bend also seems it would restrict exhaust. Engine power is still strong, but I would think these exhaust restricts need to be improved.
No center console. No radio, no speakers (that I can find), Needs new light knob and light switch nut is missing that secures to dash
Passenger side mirror will not hold its position anymore. I think it will have to be replaced.
Driver side hood hinge is missing a rivet. I have semi repaired with a loose bolt so it will open and close ok.
Hood skin is loose from some support members. Need to be re-sealed eventually, but not a big problem
Truck used to have some molding around the outside and has been removed. You can see some of the old adhesive or holes in the paint and pictures
buckets seats are not original and only partially secured to floorboard (due to previous owner starting repairs). Some fab work would be needed to properly mount them as these seats were not designed to mount in a blazer. They have cheep seat covers on them and probably need to be recovered (or replaced if doing a restore). Rear bench seat seems original and is in usable shape. Would need recovered if restoring.
Driver side does not have functioning seat belt. Looks like some racing style lap seat belt was added in the past, driver side missing one portion. Passenger side may be ok.
Old carpet is gone (new carpet kit in box included). No door jam seals
Heater cables and knobs are partially removed due to needing replaced (count on buying new cables and knobs at the least. May have to buy a little more than that to get it working
Does not have original fan switch I think. Has been replaced with 3 position toggle switch. Fan switch is not completely wired up and therefore does not work.
Glove box interior missing (door is still there, but inside insert is missing)
Horn functions, but is missing the second horn under the hood (passenger side missing, driver side works fine.)
Looks like it has replacement aftermarket antenna. It is attached, but the fixture is not as secure as I would like it. I tightened it, but you probably would want to replace it.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

2022 Chevy Silverado HD gains Multi-Flex tailgate as an option

Mon, May 17 2021

GM is spreading the Multi-Pro Tailgate love around its truck lineup, and the Silverado HD is the latest pickup to gain the option. Just like the 2021 Silverado 1500, Chevy uses the “Multi-FlexÂ” name for it in the HD, eschewing GMCÂ’s Â“Multi-ProÂ” branding for the bowtie vehicles. YouÂ’ll be able to option the tailgate on 2022 model year Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models. ItÂ’ll be available optionally in every trim, so thereÂ’s no need to grab a more expensive trim to gain access to the trick tailgate Â— youÂ’re also not required to take it in higher trims. Functionality is the same as the standard Silverado and Sierra.Â The primary gate opens and closes like any other tailgate out there. ThereÂ’s a primary gate load stopper that allows you to put the gate down and still keep things from flying out the back (it can also be arranged such that the load stopper is at a higher height by using the inner gateÂ’s stopper). The inner gate folds down perpendicular to the ground to allow closer access to the bed. A full-width step is available if you fold both Â“gatesÂ” down and pop out the inner panel. And lastly, the inner gate can be lowered to use it as a small work space. You can watch the short video above to get a quick run through of all the positions, or scroll through the gallery at the top of this post. Besides the tailgate, Chevy says the 2022 Silverado HD is gaining a new Greenstone Metallic exterior paint color. Other changes for 2022 were not detailed at this time, but Chevy says the trucks with this tailgate should be available sometime this summer. Related video:

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
