Does anyone know what is the most rare factory option, options, or option packages available on the 69-72 K/5 Blazer and/or 70-72 Jimmy?

kna4977 · 08-20-2006, 08:29 PM

Actually, the vast majority of '72 Blazers had black tops. Someone has posted stats on this before.

Does anyone have a picture of the metle spare tire cover that goes over the inside spare tire. I have never seen one they most be rare. I would like to have one if I could find one.

Super rare---shoulder belts for the rear seat!! Door window covers with doors that did not have roll up glass--check out the factory assembly manual!! My parts blazer was a highlander--not that rare but really a beautiful truck in it's day. And yes, there is a supplier for the highlander weave material--. you just need to sew it in--hehehehe

That would be cool to see the casa grande in real life.

My 72 had the stock soft top on it when the previous owner bought it. He said it was junk so he threw it away. Kinda sucks I may have been able to save it or restore.

Chulisohombre · 10-27-2013, 06:37 PM

Mine had the dealer soft top but the previous owner threw it away because it had holes in it. I wish he would have saved it. I can't even read my rpo codes on my glove box. You guys have some good options on yours. I don't think a lot of trucks came with the tach dash or intermittent wipers.

Chulisohombre · 03-22-2018, 03:20 PM

I wish I still had half the stuff mine came with. I’ve had to slowly rebuild it and find aftermarket parts since it’s bought it. It was pretty much gutted.

2wdBlazer · 08-21-2006, 10:11 AM

my 71 2wd has the Top mounted shoulder belts. Top has been hanging in the garage untouched for 15 years. BTW it is a double wall.

Could you get shoulder belts in the single wall top?

kna4977 · 08-21-2006, 10:14 AM

Cruise control was usually dealer installed right??? Could you get a 4x4 with it or was it 2x4 only?

kna4977 · 08-21-2006, 10:16 AM

I've seen a list of accessories before as well, can anyone a link or a list of what accessories were available?

Was a brush guard or rear spare tire carrier available from the factory?

What about running boards, roof racks or dual exhaust?

I have a '70 2wd that has a factory black double wall top, swing out rear tire carrier, and was ordered without a roll bar. Pretty rare options...it's also gold interior and exterior, but I think somebody on this sight has a gold one also. Other than these two, I havent seen any other gold ones.

Another pretty rare option is a 6 cyl equipped model. Had to be ordered.....
