long wheel base?

[Sammy]

Are there long wheel base and short wheel base K5's or am I being lied to? If there are, what are the measurements?

It is called a Suburban. And that is not a K5. K10 1/2 ton or K20 3/4 ton, Suburban.

S series (downsize) Blazers/Jimmys come in long and short wheelbase versions. Late model full size (IFS) Tahoes and Yukons used to come in long and short (now long / 4 door only). As far a '69 - '91 full size, 2 door short wheelbase only. '69 - '72 is 104.5", '73 - '91 is 106".

There were no 'long bed' Blazers...not first gen or second gen.

There is a 4 door Bronco, that may be considered long bed(4 doors and the top still comes off). I think it's called the Centurion!

I just thought that whoever was telling Sammy there was a long bed/longer wheel base blazer, was definatly nuts and maybye they saw one of those and coud'nt tell the differance... You know the whole, " why do they keep calling it a bronco thing"...

Centurion is the company that did the conversions. They still do conversions on new Ford Pickups, (ie nice interior and paint), they are sold at Ford Dealers.
