Where were all the 69-72 Blazers and Jimmys built?

I have only personally seen K/5s [K/1500s] made at Flint, MI or St Louis, MO. Did any other plants produce Blazers/Jimmys?

Just St. Louis and Flint. St Louis assembled all 69 and 70 MY examples and most of the 71s. Both plants were assembling K5s for the 72 MY but as best I can tell St Louis ceased in March or possibly April of 72.

OK Thanks. So any Fremont Blazer is a hoax.

No Fremont 69-72 Blazer ever. Some folks may mistake the Flint “F” in the VIN for Fremont though (which is denoted by Z).
