This is one conversion I have NEVER heard of. Heck maybe somebody on the forum can help this guy.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-21-2008, 12:11 AM

Actually, one has been posted like that on here before - it was funky!

Ok, someone had to save a pic of it. Lets See !

BLUE THUNDER · 04-21-2008, 08:06 PM

There used to be an old yellow Blazer at wicked off road that had that type of conversion. Who knows what happened to it after the shop closed down. Mario

**special-K** · 04-21-2008, 10:32 PM

Well,I lost my files but it turns out I had put alot on a CD a while ago and here it is:

ABLAZN · 04-21-2008, 10:41 PM

The part that catches my eye besides the rear duel set up is where he states it "had flexsteel front seat"

I did not know that those sofas came with a seat belt option.

That's what is amaizing about this site (and the internet in general)...I can put up a post asking to see a yellow dually 72 K5 Blazer and Voila! Less than 24 hours later, I have it!

Picture yes but where about's, not yet.

Keep it up at the top and that too could come around.

Would be cool to give the guy posting the add an answer.

**special-K** · 04-21-2008, 11:32 PM

Does anyone remeber where it was from.Was it Ebay?

bouncytruck · 04-22-2008, 01:45 AM

It was for sale in the Portland area for quite a while about a year ago.

pound41 · 04-22-2008, 02:36 AM

I have actually seen one many many years ago that had like 75/76 dually fenders on the rear it wasn't lifted much past the stock height. Had 1 ton axles and chrome dually rims It was some what clean looking with a good stance. It looked like a blazer on steroids. I am a blazer purist so I didn't like it

**special-K** · 04-22-2008, 01:08 PM

Yeah,the only point I can see in it is if it was used for some kind of big ox farm hand prime mover yard truck kind of duty.I mean like running a pto out the back and runnin` augers,Mounting a 3-point hitch,skidding logs...basically using it like a tractor.A literal stump puller.I`ve seen old Willys Jeeps used like that.But,not these days and not for "cool" factor.Farmers have tractors for that,anyway.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-22-2008, 04:42 PM

I'm going through my pics right now and here's the first dually K5 I've found but of course it's not yellow.

Sure seems like I remember one with dually style fenders but I can't find it.

Actually, that thing there is kind of bad ass...

bouncytruck · 04-22-2008, 09:24 PM

There was one with dually fenders and a wild paint job for sale a while ago. I believe it had a PU cab grafted to it also.

Jtrux · 04-23-2008, 12:01 AM

You mean there's more than one of those F&^%ing things?? People are out of there minds.

Mint68 · 04-23-2008, 07:02 AM

I didn't know it was possible for these to look bad. I guess you learn something new every day.

**special-K** · 04-23-2008, 12:38 PM

Guys get caught up in the "Dually" thing and try it on the dangdest things.It`s a tough look,alright.But,they go against you for a play vehicle.Not only do you add rolling resistance and widen your track making the rig not fit between as much,but in mud they become drag slicks and float rather than bite.They end up cocking the rear where a single wheel can roll through flat.Imagine squeezing between rocks.Dual wheels are best limited to rigs that actually need them and the pluses compensate for the minuses.I know a 14-bolt is stout.But,imagine the stress put on one while knockin`around havin`some fun.
That black Blazer looks way tough,that`s for sure.Maybe he needs to tow heavy loads up mountain trails or uses it as a skidder.
