1972 K5 CST Highlander Blazer Patina Texas
Ok, some of you guys are aware I was looking for a patina K5 Blazer. Some of
You are aware of the one I bought. So I am going to start a build thread on it and maybe it will help some in the future for documentation or for originality. I bought a 1972 Highlander CST. It has all its paper work. Has pro tecto plate that shows where it was bought and sold. Original sold and stayed in original town until now. First owner had for 8-10 years, second owner had it for over 30 years until now. I have had it for 2 weeks and it has been fun going thru it, it's like a little time capsule. |

Re: 1972 K5 CST Highlander Blazer Patina Texas
Currently putting original black tilt steering wheel back on. Taking old window tint off. Fixing to get it ready to buff. Also did find original build sheet, it was still in blazer.

Re: 1972 K5 CST Highlander Blazer Patina Texas
What a great find. I'm not as up to speed on blazers as I should be(!) - what trim levels could the highlander packages be ordered on for the blazers? Asking because I noticed this one is a CST which is akin to the Cheyenne level in trucks, and only Custom Deluxe trucks could have the plaid trim. In fact, I don't recall seeing CST glove boxes in 72 (on trucks), so I have a lot to learn about blazers... So am curious - know it was different for blazers, but just wondering how it worked - what trim levels could still opt for the highlander package. That is one great example, yikes!

Re: 1972 K5 CST Highlander Blazer Patina Texas
Jocko, highlander package was only available on the CST blazers. For whatever reason, blazers never upgraded to the Cheyenne nameplate in 71. They were called CSTs throughout 69-72. I'm glad this went to a board member. It looked like quite a deal. And it was on billings mt craigslist
