New guy from New Jersey
hey all, my name is Billy and i'm from central jersey.
though i have no blazer now, i plan on getting one as soon as i pay off my camaro, specifically looking for K5s (possibly one with the removable cap.) until then i may just lurk a lot but hope to get as much info as i can.
right now i drive a 2000 Camaro SS and i have a 1984 Z28 that i'm thinking about getting rid of for the blazer.

Welcome hopefully you find what you are looking for. Good luck on finding the k5 you want , I had a 72 fully convertable with a 350 and I cant say how much I loved that truck . Now I have a 94 s10 blazer and that is a fun ride to .

thanks i see a fair amount on craigslist for cheapish, hopefully theres some around when i'm ready to buy.
i've always loved blazers, i then branched out to Silverados and Sierras but now bounced back to blazers.

Welcome from New York. Good luck in your search.

welcome to the show brother.
are you looking for a fully removable top? 'cause those '73 through '75 trucks are getting extremely hard to find. you do know that all of the K5's had the removable half-cab design (or cap if you prefer) after '76.

hmm no i did not know that, till now (thanks wikipedia) . i suppose now i'm looking for a later 80s then, i want one with a full cab, and the cap starts after the seats

so then anything after '76 will fit your need.
and a little FYI even though the trucks look the same from '73 through '91, there are actually 2 different gen's in there. '73 to '80 have the same cab/fender configuration (although the '80 model is a 1 year only for grill/HL's), and the '81 to '91 share the same cab/fenders.
go for a search through the K5 section, there's a ton of info for you in there.
besides.......troll around here long enough and you'll get to meet Kyle (swartlkk) he's our local HD of info. on both the little & big Blazers.
