How can this be right???

I thought a Blazer is bigger than this. Is this just a miss print?

Year:: 1972 Production Total: 44,266
Base Price: 3,145 Weight: 3,677
Wheel Base: 104 in. Fuel Tank Capacity: 23.5-gallon
Length: 177.5 in. Height: 68.7 in.

This can from the SPEC page on this sight.

for a 72 i think "base weight" means:
no top
no passenger seat
no rear seat

so thats ~350 lbs right there
but yeah, that does seem low

seems like the wheel base is longer. If I remeber right a 72 blazer seems massive compared to my wagoneer.

no, the 104" is right for first gens
they stretched it to 109" for second gens

I guess a 72 with 4" running 36 tsl is just look bigger rig. I am going to bitch the wagoneer and pick up this 72 next month. It also has a 396. Looking forward to wheeling a bigger truck . I started off with a TJ, than digressed to wagoneer. Hopefully this K5 will be inspiring.

2nd gens are 106.5.

109 is in reference to an engineering project i was working on.... too many numbers in my head
thanks for correcting me
