I always liked the green ones!

Burt4x4 · 02-13-2009, 10:20 AM

Yes I do:

Thats cuz I still have it! hahahaa
I picked my first K5 up in 1993, the pic above is around 1998-9.

PS ~ the factory color of my K5 is also that same green ^^^^

If you are talking about my first 1st Gen Blazer, then I am in the same boat as Burt. It's my one and only, bought it in 2006, and I still have it. As it turns out it was originaly green as well. Dark Olive Green

If you are talking about first 67-72 chevy truck in general, that's another story for another post.

No regrets, you had your reasons when you sold it.

Buy another one...

I've had 4 blazers he first 3 were squares. '75 2wd, 81 4wd, '84 4wd, and now my '72 2wd. all were lifted or lowered. I love blazers.

Yup. I remember my first "1st gen" Blazer quite fondly.. it was 1983, I traded a 1967 4X4 elcamino for a real 70 "stock as a rock" 2WD... had a 307 in it for a bit.. one day it sorta "fell out" and I put in a 69 Corvette 435HP 427 and drove it daily for 3 years up until I was offered a 1970 LS6 chevelle with a 671 Blown 427 in it and traded it off.. oh well

ABLAZN · 02-15-2009, 12:38 AM

Yep, I remember my first one. I got it back 22 years after I sold it(Check the link in my signature for the story) I did one other just before getting my old one back, but is was not as cool as getting my first love back.

Yours is a great story! I remember back when you posted about it. I think alot of us dream about something like that happening to ourselves...at least I do!

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-15-2009, 09:25 AM

Never got around to fix'n her up, but it got me hooked and I have
since had 3.5 more and when is Merlot is gone I will be down to 1.

**7D2N** · 02-15-2009, 07:44 PM

I was able to get me another one a couple years ago... gota love these trucks...here's my new one.

**zeusflash** · 02-15-2009, 11:33 PM

Yeah,I remember mine. If fact it rolled over 300,000 miles last month! Purchased in 1993 and still my daily driver. I have put more than half of the miles on it myself! You can tell from the pic taken last December at home after a tough drive home from work that it does not get babied but keeps on truckin!
