1973 - 1975 two tone options for blazers
 
anyone know what the two tone options were in these years?
Are there paint chip cards that show the two tone options? trying to figure what goes with crimson red base apart from just white?

I think I'm about to make your day:

Here are sales brochures that show you the features you can get through the years.

My best guess is that you could select ANY combo you wanted based on the paint chips below.

Did Chevrolet ever produce a blazer with teh classic late 70's "wodd siding" look instead of the two tone paint? Wondering if thats possible at all?

It was clearly an option, and unlike today, if it was available, you could get it however you wanted it. Meaning on a blazer, truck, etc.

Personally, I would recommend the plaid seats if going with the Wood Grain look:

Just reading through the info packet that Seymour posted.

Did you guys realize the base model Blazer only came with the Driver's seat as standard? Never have I seen one like that !

Yes i was chuckling at that one seat with teh others as "options. Regarding the wood two tone, i think that on the blazer I may keep it simple with crimson red / white. not sur ethat the wood sides would look good with white top - woudl probably be a bit too busy. NEXT one though. that white suburban with the wood panels sides looks amazing.

Especially with no drip rails. Looks clean.

THAT is what makes the difference. that woudl apply to a blazer with hard shell also - just not sure about the wodd side with a white hard or soft top.
