"T" should denote a GMC - my 1972 K1500 VIN begins with T so not year specific.

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.

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.

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

72K5LA · 10-14-2016, 10:30 AM

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.

SS Tim · 10-14-2016, 03:04 PM

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?

Chulisohombre · 10-14-2016, 06:55 PM

Pics would be nice. Even though it's not the overall stock color it is still close.

72K5LA · 10-17-2016, 10:04 PM

Sorry for the delay. Been out of pocket these last couple days. Here's a couple pics.

**too much stuff** · 10-18-2016, 09:55 PM

Just picked this up last night.

Pete, didn't all 69 blazer vins start with a B? (for blazer I assume?)

Nice Eric! What's the story? That's my understanding, 69 Blazer VINs begin with a B.

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

**DeadheadNM** · 10-18-2016, 10:06 PM

Spid

**DeadheadNM** · 10-18-2016, 10:44 PM

Here's another 69 that just surfaced on ebay - B for Blazer

Note the red (faded) hub dials and paint (OEM) on the inside of the top.

**DeadheadNM** · 10-18-2016, 10:48 PM

Huh - any Flint built 69 Blazers??

Chulisohombre · 10-19-2016, 01:44 PM

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.

Yep, the inside of this top is green to match the interior. No plans at the moment for it. Pretty rough shape.

T'S1972 · 11-22-2016, 10:46 PM

my 1972 jimmy

68panelman · 11-22-2016, 10:58 PM

Wow, that's one loaded Jimmy, got a truck pic?

Chulisohombre · 11-23-2016, 09:28 AM

Ts1972 that truck gas it all lol. They could have put all mine in one side of the column on the spid. Would also see truck
Pic. Mine is also blue.

T'S1972 · 11-23-2016, 07:00 PM

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.

68panelman · 11-23-2016, 07:16 PM

Nice, I remember it when you got it, and I commented then, great looking truck, love the hockey stick stripe

Chulisohombre · 11-23-2016, 08:56 PM

Pretty cool truck. I too like the stripe.

dirish · 11-23-2016, 09:01 PM

I love it! ........... and I need your parchment belts

Please remember me if not spoken for. ( Sorry I couldn't pass them without asking. )

52napco · 11-23-2016, 09:37 PM

Heres mine for giggles
