Finally bought a Blazer - 1969 K5 coming my way.
Well after some searching I happened to find one in my price range and with minimal rust...
It is paid for and it will be in shipping until June 7th/8th - so I have limited pix at this time. It has a few issues (don't they all), but I have been told that it was a good deal for what I got... Here are the specs- 1969 Chevy K5 Blazer 350/350/NP203 (with part-time conversion) Recently Rebuilt Trans Single Wall Hard Top Kayline Soft Top 6" Rancho Lift 35" Tires Van Tilt Wheel Front Disc Brakes (71-72) Decent Quality front utility buckets Great Quality rear seat And here are the pix: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I will definitely have questions once I get it...so stay tuned. This truck may look familiar to some of you ![]() Thanks to everybody who helped me through this process and with all of my questions along the way. A big thanks to 'BouncyTruck' since I think I sent about 100 PMs asking all sorts of questions about this and that before I decided what to do. Tom Toledo, Ohio |

Congrats. I think you're gonna have fun with it. I know I enjoyed it when I had it and I think Obsesive23 did too.

Re: Finally bought a Blazer - 1969 K5 coming my way.
Thanks everybody!
I think the selling point was knowing the history of the truck - or at least knowing it was taken care of during the time it was owned. I just hope the thing gets here safely - it has to go 2400 miles in the next week. By then it will need a good wash/wax and interior cleaning (I can be a bit meticulous at times when it comes to cleaning up the cars and keeping them that way). Some call me crazy - but I find it relaxing to clean (the house, the cars, the yard, etc.). Wish me luck in my endeavors - the search was a bit troublesome at times, but it looks like it finally worked out in the end. Tom ![]() |

Welcome to the jungle, they get better and bigger everyday! Nice looking rig! Did you say it had a 203 t-case? Good luck with the shipping and K5 to stay alive!

Yes - it is BouncyTruck's old Blazer - that got into the hands of Obsessive23 and now on to me.
Yes - a 203 transfer case with a part-time unit installed. If it breaks - I will check into a 205 unit (with an adapter plate for the 350) - that is, of course, pending finances at the time... ![]() Yeah - this truck is now on it's 3rd board member - (I can track the mechanical history (within reason) back the past 5 years almost). I can't wait to get this thing and start enjoying it. |
