Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Does anyone know what is the most rare factory option, options, or option packages available on the 69-72 K/5 Blazer and/or 70-72 Jimmy?

Factory Shoulder belts

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

For 72 they also had the extreme bend towhooks.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Anyone know the RPO code for these?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

What's an extreme bend tow hook?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Where can I find out more information on the Highlander Package?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

how bout factory black top? wasn't that rare?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Actually, the vast majority of '72 Blazers had black tops. Someone has posted stats on this before.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Does anyone have a picture of the metle spare tire cover that goes over the inside spare tire. I have never seen one they most be rare. I would like to have one if I could find one.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Super rare---shoulder belts for the rear seat!! Door window covers with doors that did not have roll up glass--check out the factory assembly manual!! My parts blazer was a highlander--not that rare but really a beautiful truck in it's day. And yes, there is a supplier for the highlander weave material--. you just need to sew it in--hehehehe

The prototype "Blazer Sports Camper"? Also known as "The Chalet" or "Casa Grande"

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

my 71 2wd has the Top mounted shoulder belts. Top has been hanging in the garage untouched for 15 years. BTW it is a double wall.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Could you get shoulder belts in the single wall top?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Cruise control was usually dealer installed right??? Could you get a 4x4 with it or was it 2x4 only?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I've seen a list of accessories before as well, can anyone a link or a list of what accessories were available?

Was a brush guard or rear spare tire carrier available from the factory?

What about running boards, roof racks or dual exhaust?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I have a '70 2wd that has a factory black double wall top, swing out rear tire carrier, and was ordered without a roll bar. Pretty rare options...it's also gold interior and exterior, but I think somebody on this sight has a gold one also. Other than these two, I havent seen any other gold ones.

Another pretty rare option is a 6 cyl equipped model. Had to be ordered.....

Dot3 Synthetic 17 weight Blinker fluid is rare.
:lol:

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

my 69 was factory AC, not real rare, but definately nice, my 72 had the swing away spare tire holder two auxillary tanks inside the bed, with factory skid plates on the bottom, OH and POSI!! But not in the front (darn it!)

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

My '72 came with the swing away tire holder, skid plates and posi and used to have the two aux tanks but the friggin' PO took one out and threw it away (and glued a round piece of metal over the hole).


That hole goes nicely with the string of holes along both panels where he incorrectly installed the soft top without using the angle bracket.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I also have a 70 that is gold with a black top, 4x4, 6 cyl with an auto trans.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Check in parts,you can buy a Highlander brochure from a member.The thread just arose from last spring again.The roll bar was an option,not deleting it.Cruise control was available as a factory option of dealer installed accessory.There was a brush guard as part of the accessory offerings.The behind fenderwell tanks were aftermarket.A rare option was posi in front and winch was offered and rare to find.Hand throttle was part of the package.A rare delete option on standard K/5s was a solo-seating option.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I didn't think you could get a front posi in these.


I saw an 8-track tape player in the accessory book. Was this available from the factory, or just provided as a dealer installed accessory?

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

sorry I have to wake this dead thread because I think it has good information, but also because I think its hilarious that my Blazer, as a factory option, has door edge guard trim. Door Edge Guards??? I cant believe this was something that made my parts tag. only one is left on the blazer too, i would have guessed all day long that they were a dealer add-on before I actually saw the ID tag on the glove box door.

Anyone else have strange optional extras?

Other than the funny door edge guards my blazer is pretty generic.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

my dads 72 cst has a throttle pull cable thats located under the wiper switch....dealer option i believe....got to be rare

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

That little camper with the fold out bunks looks like a lunch wagon for a bear. lol

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Hey Guys, I have a 71 Black duel interior dome light double wall top. Have not ever seen one on this site or the MANY shows across the country I have been too.

To be honest, I have always wondered:

This this top REALLY rare???? or has this top been customized? Not sure, however i know for a fact that this top had not been cut or opened up.....

Either way, curious what you guys think? Nick

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

The throttle knob was the first cruse control you could use to hold a certain speed un like cruse control when you braked it had to be pushed in.

My vote(s):
Polywrap aircleaner
auxiliary battery
16.5" wheels
Front posi
AM/FM radio
front tow hooks

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I think they were 16" wheels - that's what is on my SPID. Soft tops were a GM sanctioned and dealer installed option - at least in 71 and probably a pretty rare purchase. A roll bar (or a swing away spare tire carrier for that matter) was never a sanctioned GM option nor was it shown as such in any GM brochure that I've seen. Both were simply aftermarket add-ons.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

16" would be rare too, hadn't seen those listed on a SPID as a GM option....but 16.5" wheels were an option as shown here:

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Didn't know you could get 16.5 and 16" wheels. Here is a copy of my SPID:

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Wow! 16" wheels...very nice. I'd like to find a set now.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

I'm thinking the slider windows for the 69-72 are rare cause I can't find a set no where .
Anyone have any for sale pm me please.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

Has anyone here ever seen one of the original dealer-installed soft tops (as opposed to one of the current aftermarket ones)? The one pictured in the Chevy and GMC sales brochures looks very cool but I've never seen (yet) a truck for sale that has one.

Re: Rarest 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy Factory Options?
 

That would be cool to see the casa grande in real life.

My 72 had the stock soft top on it when the previous owner bought it. He said it was junk so he threw it away. Kinda sucks I may have been able to save it or restore.
