Re: Blazer SPID thread?
"T" should denote a GMC - my 1972 K1500 VIN begins with T so not year specific.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
If there is a "T" prefix as in TKE182F.... it is a 1972 GMC Jimmy. GM started using a division code prefix in 72 with "T" for GMC and "C" for Chevrolet. See the decoders linked in my signature for more info.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
I've had my blazer for about a year and a half and I've learned a lot from this forum so far. I figured it was time for me to start contributing instead of just reading so here's my spid.

Have you been able to identify how your Blazer paint is special? In your case I am thinking its the overall body color.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
Yes I believe that's the difference. The original color (still on the inside of the glove box door) is a bright gold color. The 2nd owner had it repainted and the current color is real close to the original color but several shades darker. PPG matched the original color to a color called Walt Disney Gold. I don't think there's any significance though, because the matched color has a 5-digit paint code and PPG was still using 4-digits back in the 70's as far as I can tell.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
Thanks again! Unfortunately special paint SPIDs do not reflect the colors nor specific variations from production paint schemes. Often its simply a GM car line or earlier discontinued truck line color we see in cases like this. Are we going to see any pictures of your Blazer posted as well?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
Pics would be nice. Even though it's not the overall stock color it is still close.

Here's another 69 - interesting how GM painted the inside of at least some tops to match the interior color in 69

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
That last red one on eBay looks just like a model one I built when I was younger. Pretty awesome. Hard to believe any stayed stock so many years.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
Yep, the inside of this top is green to match the interior. No plans at the moment for it. Pretty rough shape.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
Its not all there any more, the hand throttle is gone and the 350 is now a 400 and of course the dash is cut. Interior is now black (started by previous owner I just went with it) I need to get some black seat belts they are the only thing still parchment. I need to finish a few other things but it is coming along. The pics still show all the sanding mess left by the body shop on the inner fenders.
