orangeuavol · 08-25-2003, 09:38 PM

I've been looking for a 1970 thru 1972 K5 Blazer in the Southeast for a couple of years now with no luck. If anyone has any leads let me or my dad (jhow66) know. Thanks.

chevy_fatman · 08-25-2003, 09:48 PM

2wd, 4wd? beater or show? how far are you willing to go for one in the southeast? there's a few on e-bay.

Cap'n Hook · 08-25-2003, 09:59 PM

How much u lookin to spend? I have a 72 Jimmy with hard and soft tops, fully restored, white with with hard top, tan soft top and saddle interior, factory working a/c, new 4-core radiator, 4wd, ps, th350 auto, and tach, ready to go for $12K! There's NOTHING wrong with this jimmy!

Hey, what's wrong with 1969? lol Same thing as the 70.

Locutus · 08-26-2003, 10:12 AM

I thought they didn't make a blazer in 69.

69 was the first year.

Good luck!

bouncytruck · 08-26-2003, 11:47 AM

I've got a '69. They made 4,935 in '69. http://coloradok5.com/specs.shtml

71blazerman · 08-26-2003, 12:12 PM

I believe that they didn't make any 2wd blazers in '69, and Jimmys didn't start until '70 as well.

jhow66 · 08-26-2003, 01:07 PM

Hook yours sounds nice but a little beyond our price range--4wd-5000to 7000 range -just one to add a lift kit to and maybe paint.Thanks for the replys. (something like Bodads from MO. --to far away .

orangeuavol · 08-26-2003, 07:56 PM

looking in the $4k to $7K range, fairly solid, complete rolling chassis (with or without engine), with in a couple hundred miles of Knoxville, TN. I'm looking to make a nice clean daily driver.

That's my dad above, jhow66. Keep him posted if you guys run across anything.

ChevLoRay · 08-26-2003, 08:55 PM

Try this website. My son is in California, and has located one in San Jose, I believe. I know that is nowhere near you, but the point is that you can tailor your search for specific years, models as well as locations. Give it a try.

orangeuavol · 08-26-2003, 09:28 PM

I go there atleast once a week looking for newly added blazers. Thanks.

Huck · 08-26-2003, 09:29 PM

Check out Pierce's 71 Jimmy on the sell board. It is solid, with rebuilt V8, a solid top, etc. Right in your price range too!!

orangeuavol · 08-27-2003, 05:25 PM

I've been in contact with him, the red 71 Jimmy.

Truckhead · 08-27-2003, 08:36 PM

I just got off the phone with a local fellow who has a 72 Blazer 4wd, auto, crate 350 with about 22k, 3k on rebuilt auto trans, color is 2000 chevy medium blue metallic; has a roll bar and a complete extra set of axles and drive shafts. He says it had a 327 and he installed a crate 350. Interior was redone; I saw it once for about 5 minutes, and the overall impression is that it looks pretty good. New bushings. Not off roaded by this owner, just local driver. The usual new parts, etc. He wants about 5k.

If you are interested, let me know. I and the Blazer are in Virginia, just off I81/I64, about 325 miles fm Pigeon Forge, so I guess that means about 360 from Knoxville.

I typed this as I was talking on the phone, but you have all the basics as he mentioned them to me. Hope this helps!

Also, he says the bottom outside is undercoated, and that he did same to inside floor.

orangeuavol · 08-27-2003, 09:01 PM

Thanks all. I'm getting some good leads!
