"Super Rare" Un-Molested - Re-conditioned Original 1970 Chevrolet Stock Blazer with Factory working A/C .... New GM 350 295 hp deluxe crate motor , New GM turbo 350 Transmission , New Period Correct Cheyenne Package Interior ... New Performance Exhaust ... New Cooper Cobra GT's ...Freshly powder coated GM rally's with GM Caps and Rings ... AM Delco radio .... Original Paint ... 67/68 Grill swap ... Disc Front Brakes ... Runs and Drives like New !!!!!!! Original Stock Condition ..........

Even though Blazers were first produced in 1969, the 2wd version did not go into production until 1970. And even then, GM only produced it in very small numbers. Only 985 were produced .....

Since the run of these truck was so limited, Chevy would just badge them as "K5-Blazers", disregarding that the correct model designation would have been "C5-Blazer." Chevy trucks with 4wd were identified with a "K", 2wd trucks with a "C". Regular trucks were identified by the number "10" and Blazers by the number "5".

•K-10 = 4wd truck
•C-10 = 2wd truck.
•K-5 = 4wd Blazer
•C-5 = 2wd Blazer (Even though they came badged as "K-5 Blazers.")

Front wheel disk brakes came only on 1971 and 1972 trucks. In 1970 they had drums all around.

The main differences between the 4wd and 2wd versions are the following:
•All factory 2wd Blazers were built with trailing arms and coil spring suspension. 4wd's came with leaf springs.
•The VIN numbers on 1970 and 1971 2wd's have a "C" as the first letter. In 1972 they first two letters are "CC". 4wd VINs started with a "K" or "CK" respectively.
•There are differences in the shape of the frames in the two versions, aside from the suspension differences.
•The 2wd's came with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, versus the 6 lug 4wd's. The exception was in 1970. 1/2 ton 2wd trucks,Suburbans and Blazers were 6 lug in 1970. In 1971 when they went to disc brakes these changed to the 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

There have been more people looking to do a 4x4 to 2x4 conversion on their Blazers. This is becoming more common because of the limited production numbers of 2x4's - 4x4's are more common and less expensive than factory 2x4's. The process is not too difficult, and you can find advice on this conversion on the 67-72 chevy trucks page.

Please no BS .... No Scammer's ... No tire Kickers ... No Low Ballers .. No Dreamer's ... No Joy Rides ...

$32500... Price is Firm (Will Consider Trade for a Nice Original Stock Condition Chevrolet SB Truck plus cash)

That one was posted a few days back. Still funny how it says Super Rare Unmolested - Reconditioned. If it's been rebuilt it's not unmolested at that point lol

And with the front end swap it had to have been painted as to go from a '70 to a '67 is an entirely different clip.

That one from Idaho is a 4wd
CKE VIN# and it has lowering "leafs"
Hope the bidders know they are not buying a "rare" factory 2wd as is advertised in the ad

My thoughts exactly. If he gets $30K for that one, I should be able to get $50K for mine, and you should be asking $80K for yours.

I think he was referring to the roll bar in the pics. Sure does give the illusion of door frames, like the later ramchargers had. I had to look twice when I first looked too.

[dubds10]

Yeah the roll bar from that angle looks like truck doors. Either way that conversion is not worth $40g.
