Does anyone know this Blazer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Coursey · 06-19-2015, 02:09 PM

I was wondering if anyone recognized this Blazer, or know if there was a thread on it?

**lolife99** · 06-19-2015, 03:11 PM

SUPER NICE blazer.
Never seen it on the board before.
What year is it suppose to be?
(it has 69-70 rear seat and 71-72 front bucket upholstery)

Coursey · 06-19-2015, 03:55 PM

I was told it was a 1970 that was swapped to a 1972.

What is the difference in the rear seat?

Coursey · 06-19-2015, 03:56 PM

I am hoping to trade my biscayne for it. I was hoping that there was a build thread on here somewhere.

The current owner did not build it.

Ay ideas of what it is worth?

The upholstery pattern is different.
(69-70 had the single scroll pattern in the center of each side)
Rear seat looks like an original.
The fronts look re done.
I was going to guess 71-72.
72 door panels and 71-72 gas pedal arm.
I would verify it's not a converted 4x4.
Either way it's super nice!

**lolife99** · 06-19-2015, 04:34 PM

I would guess $30k-$40k for an original 2wd blazer.

1970 2wd blazers were 6-lug and 4-wheel DRUM brakes.
So a few things have been changed.
Should have a factory "low hump" floor also.

Coursey · 06-19-2015, 04:47 PM

The info i have is:

1970 built as a 72
spring yellow
ZZ350 GMPP Crate motor
700r4 Jasper trans.
vintage air
autosound radio
tilt wheel
CPP springs and spindles 4.5/5 no c notch
Disc fronts, drum rear

I have asked for a pic of the SPID.

**lolife99** · 06-19-2015, 04:56 PM

The "cupholder" console is also a later model item,... but I consider that a plus!

If it was mine,... I would change the wheels and add K5 emblems to the fenders.
Everything else looks very nice, from the pics you have posted.

I would like to see the SPID also,...

Those wheels are definatly not my favorite. Not sure what i would do, but they would have to go.

I was told that the SPID was removed during the restoration by the PO.

The first 6 of the vin is CE180S
This should be if i am reading it correctly.
4x2
V8
1/2 ton
blazer
1970
St. Louis

This should verify that it is a factory 4x2. Just can not tell what all factory options were installed.

**GMC-YA68** · 06-19-2015, 10:53 PM

I am opposite. Those wheels are not bad at all for aftermarket. There are lots worse that I have seen. Those are the most "common" I'll say. I would not put any other emblems on it. It's clean without them.

notsolo · 06-20-2015, 07:29 AM

"NEVER SLOW DOWN, NEVER GROW OLD ".. Leave it alone, looks great can't see the wheels while your driving it anyway !

scf100 · 06-20-2015, 07:52 AM

Looks like the one I saw at GoodGuys in Nashville last month.....looked really really nice.....

Would you send me a pm with selling price?........that truck had a lot of attention to detail as you can tell from pictures

Value?.........there is 30-40 K in that truck easy......

scf100 · 06-20-2015, 07:55 AM

More

Coursey · 06-21-2015, 10:26 AM

That is where i seen it at.

Hoping to get togther on a trade deal.

bamachem · 06-22-2015, 01:05 PM

I wouldn't do emblems on a 2wd blazer.

The "K" in the chevy truck lineup indicated 4wd. C10 was 2WD and K10 was 4WD. Since a 4WD Blazer was designated a K5, shouldn't a 2wd have been designated a C5? No such emblem!

Chulisohombre · 06-22-2015, 07:44 PM

Never saw it before but looks really clean. 20-30k easy.

I think i like it smooth too.

smbrouss70 · 07-02-2015, 10:42 PM

Well? Were you able to strike a deal on it?

I still have not been able to meet up with him. We both have had bad schedules the past few weekends.

Coursey · 07-09-2015, 03:30 PM

Supposed to meet up on Saturday so we will see how it goes.

This what the P.O. Did to mine when he painted it. Simply removed the K5. I actually kinda like it.

**lolife99** · 07-09-2015, 07:30 PM

I still like the K5Blazer fender emblem.
The true truck guys know what it means.
And the true 2wd blazer guys understand how rare they are.
I just think since it has all the other trim, it needs the fender emblem to complete the truck.

The C vs K argument doesn't hold up.
Otherwise all the 4x4 trucks would have K10 emblems on their fenders. Ha.
(just my opinion that doesn't count)

Chulisohombre · 07-09-2015, 10:30 PM

The plain blazer emblem looks ok without the k5 on it. At least no one will Ask If it's A bronco. Lol

WRONG! Happens at least once a year. Drives me crazy!

Chulisohombre · 07-09-2015, 11:30 PM

Haha. Yeah never fails. And they only made the curvy full size bronco 76-78. That's the only one that could be confused with our first gen Blazers.
