Why no 70 K5's
Why do I see so many 72 Model K5 Blazers and very few 1970 K5's on this board?

Re: Why no 70 K5's
I know the numbers and know the reason to less builds. He asked why hardly any 70 builds and so i put or 69 for that matter just to finish his question.

Re: Why no 70 K5's
I've got one, but don't have the money or place to work on it, so I haven't started a thread on it.

Re: Why no 70 K5's
Hello from upstate NY. Heres my 70. Ive been meaning to put somepics up when I get some good clean clean shots, but that never happens. My brother used it for a week when he was in from Afganistan on leave as his daily driver and broke in my new reman 350 and got here nice n dirty. Poor thing useually just sleeps in the garage.

Re: Why no 70 K5's
I got a 72, here she is looking all sexy. I think I see a lot more 72's on here than anything else. Although this thread seems to be mostly 70's.
