New to Me 72 K5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**blownz** · 12-11-2010, 08:51 PM

Sold my 84 Shortie and picked up a K5! I have been looking for one for a while, most are rusted bad on the East Coast where I live. It is in great shape. Looks like someone installed a 400 in it.

NICE blazer!

Looks like a nice ride!

Looks great. More photos!

Sweet looking Blazer

Critter · 12-12-2010, 02:58 PM

That's a cool way to achieve a two-tone paint job on a blazer. Usually you see the color break through the middle. What you have there almost looks like something the factory would have done. NICE!

Can't wait for some more pics!

...and a nice looking two tone paint job too.

The two tone paint wasn't a factory option but they sure do look good on a blazer.

Welcome to the dark side of chevy trucks.

72BlckButy · 12-12-2010, 07:39 PM

And your plans for it???

BLUE THUNDER · 12-13-2010, 12:57 AM

Looks good. Got anymore pics

**blownz** · 12-13-2010, 06:32 PM

I took some more pics, it is about 35 degrees outside and blowing. More pics once I can get it washed. The pic of the 84 is my Shortie that I sold. A good friend of mine;s nephew came by and had to have it, so I sold it. I have been looking for a 72 K5 for awhile. I think I hit the jackpot!

HI OFCR · 12-13-2010, 06:46 PM

Nic Blazer. Did you happen to pick this up in the west virginia, virginia area?

**blownz** · 12-13-2010, 09:03 PM

Yes, Falls Church Va, he said a guy from Des Moines had called, was that you?

HI OFCR · 12-13-2010, 09:57 PM

Yes that was me. Funny found the blazer on here. Congrats and hope you enjoy it.

Just got back from my buddys Service Shop, I put the K5 up on the lift and it has a 400 on it! It has the 3 freeze plugs, I will check the front pad numbers to see what year it is. Overall in good shape for its age and the east coast.

Bull72 · 01-02-2011, 10:28 PM

awww chux, can't wait to see how you make it yours, keep sending the pics!

**blownz** · 01-03-2011, 07:45 PM

Thinking of selling the winch, really have no need for it, plus it adds alot of weight to the front. It is a nice unit, has a remote in the console, I tried to see if it runs, but feels like the motor might be stuck. I really like the look of a chrome bumper on it. Do not know what it is worth either? Any ideas?

That's very nice! And just down the road from me!
