1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Custom

Description

1973 marked the debut of Chevrolet’s redesigned “Square Body” truck platform, featuring a wider chassis, enhanced rust protection, and a cleaner, more contemporary design. Distinct from later K5 Blazers, the 1973 model utilized a fully removable fiberglass roof extending rearward from the windshield.

Engine choices included several V8 options, including the proven 350 cubic-inch small-block installed in this Blazer, backed by either a manual or automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. A solid front axle, leaf-spring suspension, and robust drivetrain components provided excellent off-road capability while preserving dependable towing and load-carrying performance. The Custom trim added bright exterior accents and upgraded interior appointments, combining rugged utility, durability, and everyday comfort in a highly versatile package.

This refurbished 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Custom is powered by a 4-bbl Edelbrock carbureted 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Finished in orange and white with a color-matched white removable fiberglass hardtop, the truck features brown cloth and vinyl "Custom" upholstery, a center console, roll bar, lifted suspension, and chrome 15-inch steel wheels equipped with 35” Hercules Terra Trac M/T tires.

This 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Custom is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Florida title.
