41k original mile on ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not mine. Just came across it. Claims to be 41k original miles

I haven't spent a lot of time looking at the pictures yet but if it is as original as claimed it might have some good interior and engine room pictures to use for those doing original restorations.

This one has been repainted. Low grade truck with AC and Body mouldings added. I posted the Spid in the Blazer spid thread.

A couple things I notice. Front seats are standard buckets, but the back seat has a utility bucket seat cover. Also, it's been painted. Masking marks on the vin tag and door and under hood stickers. Lots of fresh undercoat. Not a terrible thing, just not original.

The bucket seats can come that way with the back seat utility.

My 72 plain Jane Jimmy has the exact same covers front and rear.

I do a searchtempest.com search everyday and this Blazer was on craigslist in Ohio
with a plow on it for $4800. I called and it was already sold . Was listed as a 1 owner and was sit to g in a garage . Somebody is going to make some $$$$ on this one.

Seems odd it would have just the warning light gauges.

Edit. I guess it is a stripped down version though but with AC

Should be interesting to see what it sells for.

I don't know if it is a true 41K but what it is --is a special ordered truck by an individual. Base model, with options lower trim no cst stc. I owned a 72 like that years ago. Same seats, AC, Tach exterior swing away etc.

According to the questions and answers on the listing, it had an $8,500.00 paint job, and they are looking to get $29,900.00 for the K5.

I am impressed they were told a $4,800.00 snow plow truck had an $8,500.00 paint job.

Ya, I'm the one who asked that question. It's a nice blazer, but obviously cleaned up. Could be a winner…… also could have a lot of stuff hidden. Possibly worth about 10K less than that, but I would have to see it in person.

My question is - What the heck is that red cylinder mounted up by the upper radiator hose? It looks like a coil, has a hose that runs all the way across the engine bay to who knows where, and a wire with a wire nut on it. Leftover snow plow gear?

Nice Blazer, but not 29K material.
