Blazer collecting....addiction - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, so i have my 69 k5. Very happy with it. keeping it stock.

I have my 77 k5. Fully loaded, 383, one ton conversion, 38" tsl, etc. Very happy with it.

Soooo, why is there a voice in my head telling me I still need to bridge the gap. It says " You need to buy a 73-72 model k5". Fully conv. Tons of parts avail and cheap. No smog needed in CA. I would most likely build it into another lifted truck, but as a full conv would be fun.

Anyone else feel the need to collect the different year models?

I think that was a fruedian slip. You proabably meant 73-75 but deep down inside you want a 70-72 2wd.

Give in to the dark side. Let go of the Sqaureness.

my next two wheel drive will be one of the following...67 camaro, 70 stingray($$$not), 67 chevelle($$$$not), 67 chevy truck, or a 72 camaro(affordable still)

67 was a good year

There is a converted '73 on craigslist right now. You've got the stock & the big, now you need the low.

I have a 72, 73 and 74. I am trying to buy a 71 if I can find the right price.
