K5 Blazer selected the Cheyenne Super package, which was the
top-of-the-line trim level in 1972 and was added to only 7% of
trucks that year. That package includes all the wood-grain exterior
trim and deluxe interior fittings, such as wood-grain dash inserts,
a headliner, deluxe upholstery and more. The Cheyenne package had a
silver instrument cluster, and color-keyed vinyl door insert, as
well as door storage pockets and color-keyed carpeting. The
color-keyed headliner was perforated. For the first time, the
bucket seats were available for all trim levels and included a
lockable console. The "Custom Sport Truck" (CST) was also a top of
the line model option with for example wood grained aluminum trim
around the lower section of the body and an upgraded interior. The
5.7L 350/250HP V8 was the top-of-the-line engine in 1972 making
this one very rare amp; very desirable and increasingly collectible
1970's Full Size SUV. It has every option in it that you could buy
in 1972.The 1967-72 Chevrolet C/K is one of the most popular,
reliable, and easiest-to-drive classic American trucks you can
find. This particular generation marks the turning point when Chevy
realized it could offer truck buyers modern conveniences and
comfort options in the same way it did sedan shoppers - a
stunningly simple connection to make in retrospect, but one that
blew the market wide open during a time when primary rival Ford was
steadfastly refusing to build anything other than the most
utilitarian models for work use. The end result was a sales
phenomenon that would see GM prolong its dominance over the Blue
Oval well into the mid-70s, pushing millions of examples of this
generation of truck out of the factories and onto the roads, farm
fields, and dusty barns. Flash-forward to today, and Chevrolet's
past progressive attitude has paid significant dividends for
collectors. The driver-friendly nature of these trucks stands in
stark contrast to both their predecessors and their
contemporaries,In todays market, the first generation 1967-72 Chevy
and GMC pickups are some of the most popular vintage trucks. Fords
and Dodges just don't have the same appeal, and neither do earlier
or later GM units. These 1967-72 trucks are in the sweet spot
they're good looking, and they represent both work-truck utility as
well as reasonable creature comforts, especially when well optioned
and there were a lot of available options, some of which are rare.
Our subject truck features nearly all of them.
