It is my dad's 1972 K5. His dad bought it new and died the same year. It was my dad's first car.
The K5 Blazer is one of the coolest rides ever to come out of GM.

We were trying to figure out the other day the K designation? 4WD? But weren't there 2WD K5s?

Coolest person you know!
I got new pin stripes today! Not the good kind though. I decided to follow my buddy in his Cherokee that is nothing but an off road vehicle. We basically were on overgrown four wheeler trails all day with some dryish creek crossing. He took a couple shots though.
Apparently, C was 2WD and K was 4WD. So you're correct.
Timing belt, water pump, tensioners, thermostat, radiator cap, rotors, pads, CV axles, Total Chaos upper control arms, Metal Tech offset links in the rear, rear sway bar bushing, and a full coolant flush...
Glad to be done!

Had new tyres ut under the car: Mickey Thompsons ATZ 4-rib in 285/75/16.
And installed the new head unit with the Metra wiring. It worked! Until the battery died. :-(
I noticed in the pictures that your LX470 has the low beam on the inside. From memory my low beam is on the outside, the bigger lamps.

Daytime running lights run the highbeam at reduced output. His lights are switched to the OFF position in those pictures.

Tough to tell, but I don't think so.
Nice!!
Changed the fluid to Amsoil in my transfer case and front diff. Did a drain and fill with Amsoil on the transmission. The rear diff drain plug is stripped so I still have to do that. Greased the drive shaft while I was down there.
34M. Support bracket was a little tight...
So I wanted to tow my friends jet skies and I noticed my tow hook said 5500 pounds capacity on which didn’t make any sense. Upon more inspection I found the epoxy they use to seal cracks after the car has been in body shop.
Yup, my car has been in an rear end accident before
Here is few pics, that’s sux

mgilvan not sure what you are saying... the tow hooks and hitch systems are frame mounted... it sucks that you may have had some body damage but that wouldn't effect the towing. 6500 pounds is capacity for 100 series LC assuming factory style hitch.
well here is what i was trying to say
1. can you see the white epoxies! the only reason my truck has them is beacause it was in a rear end collision right ?
