They didn't come with one in 1971. There are some kits that look like they would have been factory. Wes at Classicheartbeat sells them - http://www.classicheartbeat.com/cata...y%20bottle.htm.
You could also go with one of the race-car style from places like Jegs. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...hTerm=overflow

Here is one from LMC that will probably work. It looks just like the one I have in my '72.

Re: NEED<Radiator Overflow tank 1971 blazer
I'm using a generic one just like the one LMC sells in the 72 K20. I bought it at a local auto parts store for about the same money. I like the "original" look of the one from Classic Heartbeat, and might buy one for my blazer. Is there even room to mount one of those shiny cans next to the radiator in these? The battery tray is right by the end of the tank. Unless you put it outside the core support or on the other end of the radiator.

I used one of these from summit. I got it for free when i order a bunch of stuff. I mounted it next to the radiator on the driver side. The only thing is i had the thermostat fail and the motor overheated and started spraying water out the little pee hole on the top of the tank. It soaked everything under the hood.
