Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
Is that the blue blazer with white top that was a cover truck for the Nov 2004 issue of classic trucks? If it is that is the truck that started the search for my 2wd blazer.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
I posted my Blazer in this thread over 15 years ago.(Page 18 post 301) So here it is now same paint same drive train. Couple subtle changes to exterior.

Does the emblem on the flamed one say "K5" or something else? Kinda funny if it still says K5.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
ALL 1st gen Blazers were K5's, regardless of whether they were 2wd or 4wd.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
To this day I'm amazed that GQ will not sell. I don't know what it is, but to me that would be the perfect starting point. Since its not in paint, you can even pick your color...go figure, I can't

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
I would like to buy it, but I live in louisiana. wish it was closer. I was wondering if you knew a reputable transport company I could get in touch with for cost on shipping it from washington to louisiana.
Thanks, Keith |

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
After researching this a little further, I guess I should say all 1st gen Blazers were BADGED K/5's. Technically they were CE105XX/CS105XX or KE105XX/KS105XX according to the model numbers on the SPID. So I guess you were half-right.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
All first gen blazers are considered K5's. There were no C5's. The Vin is the only place the "C" designation appears.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
When I get some extras funds (if ever) I wanted to get some more pinstriping on my blazer and have the "C5 Blazer" painted to look like the K5 badging.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
I am looking at getting one when I come back from overseas in a few years. Do the 2wd's have leaf or coil rear susp?

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
Mine has coils. I'm pretty sure all the 2wd's do.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
factory 2wd's have trailing arms and coil springs. There are quite a few conversions out there, which could be a good way to go if you want to save money and plan to do custom suspension anyway. When the funds are available, that's probably the route I'll go.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
I think their are a few others with the same opinions about the Chevy vs. GMC grills. The 4 headlights tend to look a little "tougher" where as the chevy fronts look more sleek.
Post pics please.
