1972 Chevrolet Blazer

Description

It's not too easy to find any early Blazer, but to find one as nicely presented as this 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is not something that happens very often at all. Wearing a cool black and white color scheme and upgraded rolling stock, it has a fantastic look and with a robust small block and a long list of options, this is the one to own if you're looking for an early Chevy SUV.

If someone described this truck to you, you'd probably question it, but now that you've seen the handsome white and black combination with a black hardtop, you have to admit that it's quite appealing. Thanks to a good quality repaint, the truck is probably better than new in most of the ways that matter, with a great-looking paint job that shines up extremely well. Factory paint never looked like this and with crisp masking lines, excellent gaps, and a ton of block sanding under the paint, this is one nice Blazer. The removable top still proposes having fun in the sun and with a roof rack, this is a truck that'll go anywhere and do anything you're interested in doing. The black sections of the body, including the bumpers and top, have been covered in spray-on bedliner material, so it'll last forever even if you're playing in the rough stuff. A black pinstripe, roof rack, and oversized side mirrors that have been painted black to match the top all help give this truck a fantastic look.

The black interior has also been treated to a no-holds-barred restoration, including fresh seat covers on the front buckets and rear bench, new black carpets, and door panels that are so nicely rendered that they have to be new, too. The blue LED lighting adds a modern look that goes well with the oversized steering wheel and updated shifter on the floor. Factory options include ice cold A/C, a tilt steering column, and power steering and brakes. The original AM radio is gone, replaced by an AM/FM/CD/iPod/Bluetooth system that sounds fantastic thanks to a lot of sound-deadening materials in the body. Original gauges are in great shape and include a rather rare factory tach right in the center. Nice! The cargo bay is truly massive, even with the back seat in place, and they left it unfinished so you won't mind putting your gear back there and heading out for an adventure.

The sturdy 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood will prove to be more than adequate for getting this Blazer anywhere you need to go. Rebuilt to stock specs, it's all about the torque and still uses a factory air cleaner, new Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, and cast iron exhaust manifolds. The A/C system was upgraded to R134a refrigerant and all the ancillary parts are new, including belts, hoses, alternator, distributor, heater core, fuel pump, and even the power brake booster and master cylinder. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission shifts easily and feeds a 2-speed transfer case and a pair of beefy axles: a Dana 44 up front and a GM 12-bolt out back. The chassis is very solid with no serious rot in the usual areas and the dual exhaust system with outlets just ahead of the rear wheels sounds suitably muscular. New suspension bushings, fresh fluids, and a recent gas tank out back ensure reliability in the brush and big 31x10.50-15 off-road radials and blacked out 15-inch give it a great 4x4 stance.

Documented with restoration receipts and photos, this awesome Blazer is a no-disappointments ride that's both unusual and unusually capable. Call today!
