[Another 72]

Over the past 20+ years the Air Force has taken me all over the world, and I've owned a lot of cool old rides. After the K5 Blazer, I owned a 1979 F-250 XLT Ranger Supercab 4X4, a 1978 XLT Ranger Bronco, a 1973 Bronco, a 1971 Wagoneer (transplanted onto a shortened 1984 3/4 ton Suburban frame), and a 1967 F100 stepside (2wd). Along the way my old bright red 1968 Cougar was totalled by a half-blind old man driving a yacht, and I more or less lacked the heart to take on an old car again, but I did let a 1968 XR-7 "hangar queen" take up space in my garage for the longest!

Eventually, I'd had enough - I HAD to right the wrongs and get another old K5 Blazer, and in November of 2015 I purchased one on e-Bay. It was in South Dakota, I'm in Virginia. But before I could take delivery I had to sell the 1967 F100. It kept the wife happy...little did se know that I had already purchased the K5...but I think she figured it out when the K5 showed up in February of 2016. Here's my 1967 heading to its new home:
