Does anyone know what is the most rare factory option, options, or option packages available on the 69-72 K/5 Blazer and/or 70-72 Jimmy?

Factory Shoulder belts

**BOSS** · 08-20-2006, 08:05 PM

For 72 they also had the extreme bend towhooks.

Actually, the vast majority of '72 Blazers had black tops. Someone has posted stats on this before.

Does anyone have a picture of the metle spare tire cover that goes over the inside spare tire. I have never seen one they most be rare. I would like to have one if I could find one.

Super rare---shoulder belts for the rear seat!! Door window covers with doors that did not have roll up glass--check out the factory assembly manual!! My parts blazer was a highlander--not that rare but really a beautiful truck in it's day. And yes, there is a supplier for the highlander weave material--. you just need to sew it in--hehehehe

The prototype "Blazer Sports Camper"? Also known as "The Chalet" or "Casa Grande"

2wdBlazer · 08-21-2006, 10:11 AM

my 71 2wd has the Top mounted shoulder belts. Top has been hanging in the garage untouched for 15 years. BTW it is a double wall.

Could you get shoulder belts in the single wall top?

**kna4977** · 08-21-2006, 10:14 AM

Cruise control was usually dealer installed right??? Could you get a 4x4 with it or was it 2x4 only?

**kna4977** · 08-21-2006, 10:16 AM

I've seen a list of accessories before as well, can anyone a link or a list of what accessories were available?

Was a brush guard or rear spare tire carrier available from the factory?

What about running boards, roof racks or dual exhaust?

SLIMJIM · 08-21-2006, 04:54 PM

I have a '70 2wd that has a factory black double wall top, swing out rear tire carrier, and was ordered without a roll bar. Pretty rare options...it's also gold interior and exterior, but I think somebody on this sight has a gold one also. Other than these two, I havent seen any other gold ones.

Another pretty rare option is a 6 cyl equipped model. Had to be ordered.....

Dot3 Synthetic 17 weight Blinker fluid is rare.

70rs/ss · 08-22-2006, 12:38 PM

my 69 was factory AC, not real rare, but definately nice, my 72 had the swing away spare tire holder two auxillary tanks inside the bed, with factory skid plates on the bottom, OH and POSI!! But not in the front (darn it!)

gjk5 · 08-22-2006, 04:22 PM

My '72 came with the swing away tire holder, skid plates and posi and used to have the two aux tanks but the friggin' PO took one out and threw it away (and glued a round piece of metal over the hole).

That hole goes nicely with the string of holes along both panels where he incorrectly installed the soft top without using the angle bracket.
