My new '75
I bought it a few weeks ago out of state and finally got her home Saturday. I quickly washed her up, did a grille and bezel swap, and spent the rest of the weekend getting to know her. It's got quite a few minor mechanical issues, but nothing that can't take care of with a little elbow grease and a cold beer or two. It is missing the passenger seat hold down bracket and I'm not sure what all years that part interchanged with. Anybody know? I have realized it's a hard find, but if I can expand my search beyond 73-75 it might be a tad helpful. Thanks for the look. Here's a before and after of the facelift.

Re: My new '75
Looks like my very first k5 same paint. I believe the bracket goes through 80, its a guess never owned any newer than that.
Nice ride!!! Tom

Re: My new '75
Nice Blazer, I think the bracket you are talking about is a 1973-1976 only. From 1977-1991 the floor pan had a drop down in the passenger seat rear footwell

Re: My new '75
The floors changed in '78. The bracket you are looking for should be 73-77. Are you looking for the pieces that mount to the floor or the ones on the seat?

Re: My new '75
Thanks for the info on the bracket everyone. I was lucky to snag one off of ebay this weekend. I'm glad to cross that one off the list.
 Outlaw...Thanks, this is probably it, I did get it up there.

Re: My new '75
Nice Blazer! I bought a 77 recently and I'm working to get it home. On a side note, you interested in selling that old grill?
Thanks! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My new '75
Thanks and yes. I've actually been meaning to put it on ebay but haven't gotten around to it yet. Let me give it a good once-over and I'll send you a PM.

Re: My new '75
Great looking Blazer. The topless pics are sweet, I like the white wheels, and the BFG`s look tough.

Re: My new '75
Thanks guys. Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I guess I must have turned off my notifications. I'll try and get some more pics this weekend and add the lift/tire info.

Re: My new '75
I'm going to to honest here. I just now looked at this thread for the first time because when I saw "My New 75" I was instantly jealous. Now I finally feel I'm ok with it,take a peak,and now I'm more jealous than I've ever been!
Congratulations on finding/winning that,really nice Blazer,you've done nice things to it,and all that. I hope you enjoy your life!

Re: My new '75
WOW! Sorry it's taken me 4 months to get back to this.
Willowrun - The tires are 33x12.5R15's, the lift is 3". It was already raised when I got it so I'm not sure what brand was used. special-K -  Thanks!Eyegor - Here's a few interior pics. Overall the inside is pretty good but I've got quite a list of things to do this winter to get it where I want it.    [/URL] [/URL]And one more before the top goes back on.   [/URL]

Re: My new '75
They're 6x9's buy the back seat, just a dual speaker in the stock dash location and 10" subs in back. It sounds pretty good. Not too obnoxious, but good enough to make me feel 18 again.

Re: My new '75
nice I really love the wood grain trim on the subs and did you use an adapter for the 6x9s or just trim the original panel
