This is a 1972 Chevy K-5 Blazer. This is one of the rare Blazers because it has a full removable top, therefore giving you the comfort of a convertible. These vehicles are so much fun. You can go anywhere, you sit up high, and enjoy the fresh air with your friends. They only made these a couple years, and these are the most sought after Blazer of its kind. You can modify these trucks any way you want; and no matter what you do, they look cool. This truck has a few dents and rust spots, but I looked in the books that I have to locate parts, and for less than $500 you can buy all new panels and they are not that hard to put on. Everything you need is there - it just needs a little TLC.
This vehicle has a missing right front axle. The transmission slips. It has a few rust spots, and a few rips in the interior. The glass is out of the doors but is there.
This truck is equipped with the original 350 cu in motor with an automatic transmission and transfer case. As you know, the front axle is missing. I have a complete front end that will go with this truck plus Rally wheels and fairly good tires. I also have an automatic transmission and a transfer case that are in good shape that will also go with it.
These trucks have been featured in many movies and many rebuild shows, and there was just one on Counting Cars this last week. It was a 1973, and it was a beautiful truck. This one can be just as nice. These trucks hold their value. Any young driver today would love to have one of these Blazers to take care of.
So you Dads out there with a young son (or daughter) ready to drive, this is your opportunity to build one together and have an everlasting bond.
This is an "AS IS" Sale, no returns. Buyer handles all shipping costs.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
