1st 1972 K-5
I just wanted to share my 1972 K-5 that I just got last weekend with everyone. It has a lot of rust, but it is running and driving. So I will fix the rust a little at a time.

Anyway NOW you got the bug that will last a life time 25yrs later i have one ,working on buying a twin to match the one i have ,welcome to the club.

Re: 1st 1972 K-5
03,
Trust me I know that feeling all to well. Right before my Med-board stuff went up, I spent every cent I had in savings to build a 496 to go in to my 70 c-10. Once I was medically retired from the Marines I almost lost my house because I just could not let it go. Fast forward a year, I am just getting back on my feet and I just spent every cent I have to buy the blazer. My thinking is that I need another truck 67-72 in my life. I have always like and wanted a 1st gen blazer. So now I have the best of both worlds....I just need another 496 to get her moving.....ha ha.

Awesome find man, it looks like a great Blazer. Nothing beats cruising around in an old truck with the dog.
