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?
Yup. I think that article drove a lot of us to want a 2wd.

Yes, that would be the blazer on the cover

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?
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?
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?
Hey I just joined the site a few days back, I bought my 2wd about 5yrs back. Had been hunting for it for about 5 years and before I found it I bought a 4x4 to convert to a 2wd. The 2wd is a 71 GMC it has factory air. It is in storage, because I am building my 4x4 into a super short bed truck. Some day I will get pictures on here of the 2wd. I am using the GMC front clip to put on my 4x4 super short bed. I am putting a 72 chevy front clip on the 2wd. This may sound crazy but I like the 67, 68, 71, 72 chevy front clips the best for 2wd and GMC front clip best for 4x4. Should I not be seperating the original one out? Any opinions?

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.

Re: How many 2 wheel drive blazers do we have?
Personally I like the '67-'68 grills on everything but I've seen some low GMCs & some 4x4 '67-'68 & '71-'72 trucks that I really like also.
Basically, do you own the truck?? Then do it how you like it. ![]() I have a '71 Blazer and bought a '68 swb for the front cap. A friend is gonna take my '71 front and put it on the '68 and build a ground scraping stepside for his shop truck. To each his own, IMHO Here's a few I like that are backwards from your preference. This is probably my favorite GMC of all time. ![]() And this is probably my fav 4x4 ![]() but this one is pretty cool too ![]()
