THIS K/5 BLAZER IS NOT FOR SALE.

DO NOT FALL VICTIM OF AN INTERNET SCAMMER MAKING FAKE LISTINGS USING THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU ON THIS WEBSITE.

I restored the interior but will not list any more photographs of this vehicle due to the numerous fake listings seen on ebay and craigslist.  If I were to sell this vehicle, I will mention that it is for sale here.

 

 

This 1972 K/5 Blazer CST outfits original paint. It was purchased from Ripon, California in 2003. It has a 350ci. motor. The Blazer is lifted 3 inches with new Rancho springs up front and blocks in the rear. The tires are BF Goodrich 33x12.50 on a 15x10 polished aluminum Weld Racing Single II wheel. The front seats have been recovered to match the orignal covers. The rear seat still has the original cover on it. I have replaced the lenses, inner and outer grill, emblems, and woodgrain trim so far. It is a real head turner. These trucks are a rare find in the Northeast, especially one without rust or bondo.

The next two photos were taken by the previous owner, before I bought it. The truck was in really nice shape. Very little to fix.

The image located above left is a photo that accompanyied the Blazer when I found it on www.collectorcartraderonline.com in 2003.

(Below)The next four pictures were taken a few days after the Blazer made it's three day trek across the United States from California to Pennsylvania in an enclosed car carrier. PassportTranspot, now FedEx, did a wonderful job.

All dust, no rust. Gotta love California cars.

 

(Below) I replaced the dented grill with NOS GM Parts. The paint around the headlights is now intact too.

I cleaned up my CST door emblems with a claybar and repainted the black with satin black Rustoleum.

I bought new dark olive green carpet for the Blazer to replace this brown faded carpet. I don't like the CST side panels with the speaker holes in them so I'm getting replacements too. A new stealth sound system is in the works. Might try my hand at fiberglassing an enclosure for a 10" sub.

This K/5 Blazer is not for sale. Sorry. Always look at the text in the description. It says the Blazer is located in the Northeast.
