Description for Chevrolet Blazer 1971

1971 Chevy K5 Blazer CST: The Blazer was designed and marketed to compete with International Harvester Scout and the Ford Bronco. Both of these were originally aimed at the short Jeep CJ series, hich were much  smaller than other trucks. The great innovation of the Blazer was to simply offer a shortened pickup truck, hich both increased interior space, nd lowered the cost of production with a shared platform. The Blazer quickly became  popular. For the first time, t married the off-road capabilities of the Scout with the "luxury" features like air conditioning and automatic transmissions routinely available on pickup trucks. By 1970, he Blazer was already  outselling both of its older rivals. Ford, odge, nd even Jeep would counter with similar shortened pickups, ith the Dodge Ramcharger and Jeep Cherokee. The two-wheel drive version came with independent front suspension and rear  trailing arms, oth with coil springs. The four-wheel drive version had a solid front axle and used leaf springs front and rear. Both versions used drum brakes at all four corners until 1971, hen the entire GM light truck line got  standard front discs.  

This is just flat out one GREAT looking, REAT sounding, nd GREAT driving K5! It has maintained a high level of originality and could easily serve as a weekend show vehicle or a daily driver. This Blazer was outfitted with all the good factory options. With exception of the steering wheel and retro-styled radio it is almost identical to how the first owner received the truck 45 year ago. That proud first owner resided in Stockton, a and this classic Chevy was housed there for  several years before being purchased by the second owner in Auburn, a at an unknown date. In 2007, he K5 made its way to the Houston, X area where it has remained since. Through the course of the 3 ownerships the original Owners  Manual and Protect-o-Plate (warranty card) were kept in the glove box. When the new retro-style radio was installed, he previous owner made sure to leave the dash and doors uncut and the speakers are mounted in boxes below each seat.  The only flaw on the truck that needs to be addressed the separation seen in the rear seat. We have ordered the correct new cover and have been given a 2/15/16 arrival date. If the K5 is purchased before this date we will forward this  item along with $200 to have it professionally installed.
