I thought I edited that to correct when I proof read (which I usually don`t do).It`s edited now,I had a few.Ford kept on calling them Camper Specials after`72,also.
I`ve had my Blazers called Broncos.I`m a kindhearted man and they are all still walking without a limp as far as I know. I started using K/5 rather than Blazer unless being specific.Noting like a GM man calling a Jimmy a Blazer.Names just matter to me.They are for the purpose of I.D. and it ain`t no I.D. if it it`s naming something else.It`s like calling a tire a wheel.Today is Sunday,not Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,or Saturday...just Sunday.If you say Sunday we all know what day you`re talking about.One day this week works fine if being specific doesn`t matter.Just like saying your truck has the camper package.That`s just what it is,whether GM,Dodge,Ford,IH,or whatever.
