Noob question-Did they not make a 67-68 Blazer/Jimmy?

Please excuse my ignorance but I see a page for 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy and a page for 67-72 'Burbs. Did they not make a 67-68 Blazer/Jimmy?

I have decided that I want a Blazer/Jimmy for my retirement years (will take me that long to acquire it due to a hungry EX), for my wife and the lil guy to enjoy with me, and thought it would be nice to have a 67 (year I was born). In the info gathering stage for now.

Make your own 67. The 67 front clip will bolt on to a 69-72 Blazer of Jimmy just fine.

My plan exactly. My goal is to keep the body as stock looking as possible, updated drivetrain and suspension, and just drive the hell out of it.

I look forward to many years of getting ideas and posting stupid questions here.

Welcome to the board.

They didn't start making the Jimmy until 1970. First 2wd Blazer was in 70 too.

Was that model year 1970 or actual 1970 meaning model year 1970 1/2 or 1971?

First blazer was a 1969 and all 4x4. First jimmy was 1970 and first 2wd blazer was 1970 as mentioned. Not sure of the actual production date for the first one.
