why no 75s in here???????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CAROL LADUE · 07-07-2006, 03:01 AM

i notice that i seem to be the only one here wit a 1975 k5 blazer wit 4wd and 4spgranny low..........why? is there somthing i should know???

Jonboy · 07-07-2006, 08:42 AM

No, I think it is just that most of them from up north have already turned to dust. I have had 2 '75's, but I don't have a scanner for the pics. Mine were both 4WD, but with automatic trans.

Looks alot like my 73 sittin in the driveway...

CAROL LADUE · 07-07-2006, 09:11 PM

mine is way way way way better....thats my dads old patch

ItsNotABlazer · 07-08-2006, 05:26 PM

You can usually find that patch on Ebay at any time. I have seen it and a few other variations on there before. I have a 74 K5 Blazer and a 75 2wd Jimmy.....K5 is a long term project and the Jimmy will hopefully have the big block transplant done sometime soon. I have been neglecting this project for some time now lol.

i would love to know what you are going to do with your 74 as your project it is so much like mine only 20000 more miles on it and painted an ugly color too.what color was yours from the factory?and is the 74 an auto trans or a 4 sp like mine?

jakeslim · 07-10-2006, 12:18 AM

i only like 74's and 76's, never did like the 75 blazer

madman 72 · 07-10-2006, 12:44 AM

I got a 75' 4wd granny 4-speed right here. There were some other 75's on here. That is a real nice 75' you got there.

I dont have any pics left. Photo album was ruined when they got wet. I havent taken any lately. I curerntly have it partially taken apart to start some much needed rust repair. floors rockers and pass. side quarter panel. I took the 35's off and put on some stock wheels and tires so it would fit in the garage. Looks funny now with the stock tires and a 6 inch lift. I can take some like it is now but it dont look to good.

CAROL LADUE · 07-11-2006, 01:16 PM

i bet it looks like a great almost fabulous k5........so get that camera out

ItsNotABlazer · 07-11-2006, 07:00 PM

The low mileage on the 74 is a bit misleading as it has been sitting for probably 15+ years lol. It was originally a light blue or at least the floor inside and doorjams/dash etc were. I was planning on maybe a fuel injected small block of some kind (would be better when wheeling on rocks than a carb I would think) and a nice hefty jungle jim style cage......basically an off road toy that would see occasional short road trips. I am hoping to get it and several other projects going again as soon as I can get my shop/apartment built.

Big Block · 07-12-2006, 09:36 PM

The 73-75 had major rust issues. If you live north of the Mason Dixon line you probably won't find one that is restorable. If you can find one at all.

CAROL LADUE · 07-17-2006, 08:05 PM

My Blazer Has Never Ever Been In Snow....ever, Nor In Rain Much.....it Just Sits There And Takes Children For A Starlight Drive Once In A While.

Have you tried coloradok5.com yet? I think you'll find a lot more 4x owners and a few members that live fairly close to you....

CAROL LADUE · 07-24-2006, 05:49 PM

i paid to support the coloradok5 site and put a few posts on there and right away was told i offended the moderators and they locked one of my threads ,i felt they do not like women much or are very humerlous unless they are degrading women sexually ......oh well ...this site is very sweet and kind.

madman 72 · 08-29-2006, 12:39 AM

Sorry it took so long for these pics. I took these after work but it was getting late and are alittle dark. I will post some better ones soon.
