Just picked up a 72 Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 08-18-2013, 11:25 AM

Just picked this up yesterday. I have been looking at it for a month or so, 74k original miles, has had some paint work, about 50% original paint. 350/auto and factory A/C. Ill get some more pics soon

71swb4x4 · 08-18-2013, 11:35 AM

Nice truck Joe, I love the wheels. You going to dog dish them or run them naked?

**DeadheadNM** · 08-18-2013, 12:00 PM

Nice K5. I was on the fence as to swapping the ralley wheels on mine for the 15 x 8 steelies in the garage but not any more- the steelies look great.

**Joesjunk** · 08-18-2013, 12:27 PM

Steel wheels for sure! I have a set of nos hub caps going on it today!

Thanks Rob, it probably looks better in pics, but it's not bad. And it's my favorite color! It was in Omaha

Beautiful blazer,... but that tow rig is even better!
Love the color.

briank · 08-18-2013, 02:47 PM

Looks good, love that color. I have a 72 the same color, still needing restoration. Are those 15x8 or 15x6 rims?

They are the 6" wheels. The guy had all 5 powder coated and put 5 new tires on it. I have 5, 8" wheels I was thinking of putting on it.

briank · 08-18-2013, 06:22 PM

How about some interior and engine shots??

briank · 08-18-2013, 06:23 PM

One more question, since those are 15x6, what size Bf Goodrich are you running? I have some 15x8 with 31x10.5 but I also have a couple of sets of 15x6 I may run on others.

71jimmy · 08-18-2013, 06:25 PM

Sweet ride, congrats.

What year were the 8" wheels on? Been thinking of getting the 73 up rallies but I like those too.

**Joesjunk** · 08-18-2013, 06:45 PM

It has 33x10.50x15's on it. Kind of an odd size. I would rather have 31's, and may sell these

**Joesjunk** · 08-18-2013, 06:52 PM

I'll get more pics when I can. The 8" wheels are from the late '70's I think.

Another nice one. One question. Do any of your 67-72 trucks have over 100k miles?

Love the new rig Joe.

And I'm with Keith.. I like the new dmax. How's the urea, extra emission BS?

1972Blaze · 08-18-2013, 10:56 PM

Is the ride height factory, or has it been lifted?

Nate, I'm not crazy about all the bs that's on the new Duramax's, but that just how it is now lol, my '03 was nice because it had no emissions. I have only had it 5 days, but I'm loving it
