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.

**KevsClassics** · 07-18-2023, 12:39 AM

I posted my Blazer in this thread over 15 years ago.(Page 18 post 301) So here it is now same paint same drive train. Couple subtle changes to exterior.

Yes, that would be the blazer on the cover

**KevsClassics** · 01-29-2008, 10:08 AM

Here's two more buddies who want to be counted they just don't like to use computers. Marks 72 and his cousin The "C10 King" flamed 72

I've seen Mark's in another thread. It got quite a few favorable comments.
Does the emblem on the flamed one say "K5" or something else?
Kinda funny if it still says K5.

bagged74 · 01-29-2008, 12:05 PM

I think 2wds had K5 emblems too

smbrouss70 · 01-29-2008, 12:08 PM

ALL 1st gen Blazers were K5's, regardless of whether they were 2wd or 4wd.

johnboymx · 01-29-2008, 12:31 PM

I still have mine for sale guys. Its in the for sale section. Nobody wants it

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

keith ashford · 02-02-2008, 09:46 AM

I would like to buy it, but I live in louisiana. wish it was closer. I was wondering if you knew a reputable transport company I could get in touch with for cost on shipping it from washington to louisiana.
Thanks, Keith

Well, that shows you what I know.

65-72 chevytoys · 01-29-2008, 11:07 PM

Its not that I don't want it. I just don't have garage space for another one.

johnboymx · 01-29-2008, 11:25 PM

It can fit anywhere

smbrouss70 · 01-30-2008, 02:26 PM

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.

bouncytruck · 01-30-2008, 02:53 PM

All first gen blazers are considered K5's. There were no C5's. The Vin is the only place the "C" designation appears.

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.

68 P.O.S. · 01-30-2008, 04:04 PM

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?

Mine has coils. I'm pretty sure all the 2wd's do.

bouncytruck · 01-31-2008, 01:26 AM

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.

bouncytruck · 02-01-2008, 01:24 AM

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.
