Look what arrived in my driveway an AZ 72 K5 - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would paint the bumpers black, and repaint the top black too. The white looks pretty good for temporary paint.

Stop stealing our trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**lks dcvn** · 09-29-2009, 11:58 AM

Looks great!

Top - Repaint it Black
Bumpers - I like the chrome sport bumpers myself - so I would put on whatever floats your boat -

We have enough here to spare a few!!

Not sure, but I'd guess white on white could've been. In AZ black anything get REAL HOT so a white top helped there I am sure.

Nice blazer. I believe I passed that on I90.Wondered where it was headed!! Someday I hope to bring another back from the southwest.

glimmertwin01 · 10-06-2009, 08:45 AM

well she is back together.... I didnt like the black front bumper so I did it in silver POR this is yesterday evening

msgross · 10-06-2009, 10:27 AM

black top and some chrome rings for the rims.. little armor all on the wheels and she'll look nice..

then it's ready for a NY winter.. YIKES..

JimmyFloyd · 10-06-2009, 10:44 AM

hope that one isn't going to be sitting outside all winter. you just got it looking nice. Better sell it to me so I can keep it inside when it gets cold

Looking good. Giving me some inspiration to get moving on my project, but I really need to get the garage cleaned before winter really sets in.

How much was the paint you used on the body? I might need to get ming into something like that soon.

glimmertwin01 · 10-06-2009, 08:44 PM

oops forgot the door handles and mirrors.... hahaha
and Now i could use some 8-454 emblems for the front fenders... anyone have Ideas where to score some?

palposity · 05-20-2010, 09:37 AM

Looks great! I am jealous of the 454!!!

chevyblazer · 05-21-2010, 03:15 AM

nice blazer what are planing to do with ih 2 or 4wheel drive

glimmertwin01 · 06-04-2010, 11:54 PM

ADDED some cool lettering to the tailgate... its 3M looks black in the day and reflects sliver at night..kinda cool

**Yukon Jack** · 06-05-2010, 08:31 AM

That's pretty cool!

VA72C10 · 06-05-2010, 09:50 AM

very cool!!!

70rs/ss · 07-16-2010, 05:04 PM

Looking good! Can I have it back now? If I say purdy purdy please?!!

glimmertwin01 · 05-26-2012, 11:51 AM

after 3 yrs.... i redid the dash back to original appearance and replaced the windshield.
I have it up locally for sale , dont want to part with it but current financial issues may require it be gone....
SUCKS.. but on a better note the interior looks good. just got to fix minor poor workmanship issue on the floor and install the OE rubber floor covering.

glimmertwin01 · 05-26-2012, 11:56 AM

i have a decent 67-68 blue steering wheel to install since i cant find a decent 72 blue wheel, and a decent set of chrome bumpers to put on...I have been accumulating AC parts for this, and once I get brackets I should put it in.... the thing runs like a scalded dogg...

glimmertwin01 · 06-05-2012, 06:59 PM

bought a 3M paint stripping wheel to remove the nasty Baked on Undercoating on the roof.... it appears the rear door was replaced at sometime as I found white then black the primer under the crust of undercoating....
one wheel worn out and almost half done.....
then paint it with good fiberglass paint (for a boat)

Conroe trucker · 07-14-2012, 10:00 PM

I almost bought this Blazer when it was on an Indian reservation.

Talk about a loser trip.

The guy that had it was a complete flake.

I had to walk away from it since the plan wat to drive it to Houston, to him it would make it easy.
Glad it did not break down in the driveway.

Good to see someone saved it from him.

glimmertwin01 · 08-10-2012, 01:59 AM

the truck ran fine after I adjusted the carb and timing for low altitude..never gave me a minute of problems....

glimmertwin01 · 08-10-2012, 02:01 AM

alas i sold it to a guy downstate... gonna miss it but im replacing her with a 86 M1008.
here are a couple pics with it back in its factory delivered color scheme

superduty_59 · 08-10-2012, 04:03 PM

Nice truck but I would've left on the 67-68 front clip. It would've been cheaper! Still looks good though!
