Hi all, Quick post on my Newest purchase off Frazer from Retro-Rides. I have to say this thing is a beast & Although it's left me penniless I've got a huge Grin on my face! The basics, Completely Restrored in 2003 for which I have a photo-album ;D Tax'd & MoT'd By Frazer ready for me to collect! It's around 60 hard windy miles one way but the Blazer cruised home with ease. The sunny gorge of Castleton [By the Blue John Mines] proved difficult with no-Sunvisors because for once it was sunny in the North of England! It got home fine [And with a lot of style & Looks I might add] I parked it up and got the polish out! ;D Here is a few of Piccys to show how clean the thing actually is after a quick wash off!        Size Comparison to the Famous DERV Morris ;D  I'd just like to thank Frazer for his hospitality, It's proving to be a reliable Truck! Ben. |

Love it! I hope to get my '75 Blazer (full convertible, 6.6 petrol V8 ;D) back on the road next year, with it's 8" lift....!
What are your plans for this one, just to use and enjoy? Or do you have any mods planned?

Not thought about it really, just clean it up sort out the little niggles & Take it to shows.
It doesn't need much Modification for Off-Road use & It handles the road like a dream anyway! ;D

Haha, the woman in the First Pic is my mum... Though I like to think she's crazy It was actually me using the hoover inside the Chevy! Well spotted though... Been a Rainy day today so I had nothing better to do [Apart from oilchange on my Safari] Farm Hack Pics!    I'm pleased to note that the 4x4 works well, though the Freewheeling hub lockers are plastic and feel a bit flimsy... |

I must have read the original sale thread a good few times as something about this really appealed, but ultimately knew I wouldn't be able to swing it with SWMBO.
Is the box now ok?
