1972 4x4 dog dish - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a set for my 1972 Blazer,
Can anyone post pics of what the correct ones look like.
I know the bowtie should be blue and not yellow but is that the only difference between later years.
If anyone has any for sale that would be cool too.
Thanks,
Tony

Yes,that's the only difference between 69-72 and 73-75. I just checked and don't seem to have a picture,which surprises my. Add that to my "things to do" list...lol

I thought that the round area the bow tie is on is convex on the later models and concave on the earlier ones.

I thought that in 71-72 the 3/4 and 1 tons were convex, and 73 and later were concave.

I think all half tons were concave.

The 8-lug GMCs are concave 69-72 and convex 73-75. Chevys are all the same,I believe. But,we are talking 1/2t which are all concave 69-75 Chevy/GMC.

Mine are concave, 1972 K-20. I bought them off a board member. I think he said the hub caps could be found on late year 72s and continue through 75. I have read different opinions on other forums, so I am not sure? All I know is I like the look.

Since this is a Blazer ( 1/2 ton ) this is not a issue, only different on 3/4 ton.

Here is a shot, blue bowtie on rear, open front.
