Big Block-Powered 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Pickup Conversion

Description

Introduced for the 1967 model year, the new General Motors C/K Action Line series brought with it a combination of luxury that was unprecedented in pickup trucks, and would set the stage for trucks of the future. Starting in 1971, all C/K trucks came standard with front disc brakes and a tilt steering column became optional alongside and AM/FM radio. Starting in 1969, the Blazer SUV variant became available and was an instant hit with offroaders and outdoorsmen alike.

This 1972 Chevrolet Blazer was acquired by its current owner in 2018 and subsequently backdated with a 1968-style front fascia and converted to a pickup truck.

Under the hood is a carbureted General Motors big-block V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. It has chrome bumpers, chrome tube steps, and is sitting on a set of polished 15" aftermarket wheels wrapped in 35" Hercules tires. Inside, it has a black/houndstooth bench seat and is fitted with Cheyenne Super trim. The interior also features an Alpine head unit with a custom multi-speaker system.

This modified 1972 Chevrolet Blazer is now offered with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
