Our Newest Addition to the Family - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hoffa · 08-28-2007, 02:16 AM

Long time viewer, first time writer....

I thought I would share a few pictures of our new Blazer we got last week. It is rust free, original paint/interior, 77,000 miles, rebuilt motor, factory AC & tilt. It is an original Oregon rig and has spent a lot of its life garaged. I wish my other two were in this good of shape. I swapped the welds out for ralley wheels today. I will be swapping out the winch bumper for a stock one. We are looking forward to taking the top off next summer.

Very Nice!!!!

krue · 08-28-2007, 02:38 AM

Looks real nice. Welcome from Vienna, Austria.

vtblazer · 08-28-2007, 07:25 AM

Can't believe all the sweet 1st gens out in Oregon.

Very nice, welcome to the board, enjoy the ride.

**1971K54X4** · 08-28-2007, 08:04 AM

from Iowa. That is a great looking Blazer.

72BlckButy · 08-28-2007, 08:38 AM

Beautiful Blazer! They are getting harder and harder to find in this condition. I agree, I like the ralley's over the weld's.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-28-2007, 09:24 AM

Very sweet! Not sure I'd change a thing on that great K5! Great to see a survivor.

ColoradoK5 · 08-28-2007, 10:06 AM

Nice find looks good with the rally's! Good choice!

killer71 · 08-28-2007, 10:09 AM

Now that's a Gem! Good choice on the ralley's; can't go wrong with them!

**Classic Bowties** · 08-28-2007, 11:03 AM

First off

on your first post and

to the board. That is a good looking CST you just picked up, a true rarity to find any Blazer in that condition these days. Let me know if you are looking for anything for your other two, I am just up I-5 from you. I grew up down your way and most of my family is still in the Winston, Roseburg & Sutherlin areas so I am down that way a couple times a month. Cb

bouncytruck · 08-28-2007, 11:10 AM

That is a beauty. I like the rally wheels.

crzngmychvy · 08-28-2007, 12:06 PM

Welcome from socal! Cool truck too!

HuggerCST · 08-28-2007, 12:48 PM

Very Nice!

hgs_notes · 08-28-2007, 12:56 PM

That is about as nice a blazer as I have ever seen. How did you get it? If I was the owner, I could never sell it.

72armyswbtruck · 08-28-2007, 01:04 PM

First

and second that is a super nice rig you got there.

jfortner · 08-28-2007, 02:04 PM

Very nice looking... do you need someone to take that winch bumper off your hands? You can PM me if intrested.

Hoffa · 08-28-2007, 03:56 PM

Thanks to all for the warm welcome and nice comments.

I knew of the guy who had it, but had a mutual friend ask him if he wanted to sell it. I knew it was nice, but didn't think it was this nice. He is the third owner and put most of the miles on it (28K to 77K). He actually used it to hunt, but took extremely good care of it (top and bottom). After the fact, I also found out that a guy I work with went to high school with the 2nd and 3rd owner as well as the 1st owner's daughter - small world.

**lks dcvn** · 08-28-2007, 04:00 PM

Nice Blazer - good color as well!

Welcome to the group from Ohio!

cool blazer - i'm almost finished with my 72 CST - best of luck to you

Long Roof · 08-28-2007, 04:11 PM

Fine, fine K5 you have there.

70rs/ss · 08-28-2007, 04:24 PM

I gotta know (It's OK if you don't tell) but how much? The only reason I ask is that I'd sell all of my junk and take a loan to own one that nice. If it is in the $10-15K range I am on it. Do you have any other friends?!

Purs · 08-28-2007, 05:10 PM

very nice looking K5. Congrats!
