OK i've had this for sale here before and i do hate to part with her, but she's just got too much for me and i want a daily driver 72 blazer (show).

Here are specs. Also if you send me email or call me, because sometimes i don't get notified on responses to the thread. Larry 406-599-7742 or [email protected] Can view all pics at:

SORRY - the price is $12,500 OBO

Well it's sad, but I have to get rid of the beast! I am using as a daily driver and its just killing me, gets about 6 MPG. I bought about a year ago and it's everything I always wanted AND more! Probably a little too much for me, as the axels are 1.25 ton and have detroit locker, which is not good for driving high speeds (I did drive from Idaho fine at around 70MPH). This guy definitely turns heads. I have all the receipts which total more than $30,000 in parts. The engine alone is worth around $9,000 and has been Dyno'd at 500HP. Guy told me with blower could get over 1000 HP out of her. I truely love this vehicle but just too old for it I guess. Would consider trades looking for nice pickup like 2001 Ford 250 Lariat (or even prestine 72 blazer that I could use as a daily driver), or other??, but needs to be "NICE" ride (preferably with heated seats!) Here are all the specs, please call or email me with any questions email: mailto:[email protected] cell: 406.579.2666

…The Bad News

· Rust underneath on both doors (see picture)

· Dent in Driver’s Side Rear Quarter panel (see picture)

· Rust on top of bed rail (see picture)

· Paint fair, but for “show” needs to be repainted
Also, if i was going to keep her, i would get hydrolic assist steering as well.

I have seen this Blazer Several times before. The first time I saw it, it was on ebay a few years ago. I liked it so much I saved a picture of it for me desktop. :bow:

I would snatch this K5 up in heartbeat! Unfortunately we are no where near eachother and I don't have the cash. Otherwise, I hope it finds a good home! ;) :waytogo:

Yes, i really do love her, but i'm over 40 now and just too tough getting in and out of it. I would hate to lower it and remove the axels (detroit locker) etc...but i really want a nice "show" truck and this is a rock crawler beast as it is now. Thanks again and let me know if you win the lotto! :)
 
NICE TRUCK!!!lift it more,bolt on 44"s, build a bigger garage,buy a geo to go to work,and throw away the tv.be sure to buy a garage frig that holds alot of beer
 
Well that's a cool step-side with lots of mods, but looking for something a little more driver friendly! :)
 
OK - if no trades...rock bottom price of $10,500

I go through this every winter, its just not a daily driver especially in winter! If i make it through another winter, then goody because she is fun in the sun!
 
Someone buy the truck, good investment, never to be built again.
Long live the first gen.
Look at the build sheet, Many dallors spent.
Trade for a dependable DD is a great deal.
It will help not only him, but youself also....:deal:
Bump..

Now that is funny...:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
I guess I could say she's low mileage. Has an annoying whine coming from the intake though..
 
That is too funny...

I would like a bumper like the one you have on the front. Where did you get it at? (pun intended) HAHAHAHAHA

No seriously Luvshack where did you get the bumper?
