A classic first-gen K5 that nails the beach-cruiser vibe: clean
white paint, tan interior, removable hard-top delete with a
matching tan bikini top, and the right stance on 33s. Odometer
shows 45,840 miles (mileage exempt on title due to age). It starts
easily, idles clean, tracks straight, and is sorted for sunny-day
use on or off the pavement.
Highlights
1972 K5 4�4 (final and most desirable year of the '69-'72 body
style)
350ci small-block V8 with 4-barrel carb and factory manifolds
3-speed automatic (column shift) with floor-mounted 4�4 transfer
case shifter
Front disc brakes ('71-'72 upgrade), power steering, power
brakes
Factory-style air conditioning equipment present underhood
Correct woodgrain side moldings, chrome bumpers, and CST-style trim
cues
Steel rally wheels with dog-dish caps wrapped in 33�12.50R15
all-terrain tires
Dual Magnaflow mufflers with true dual exhaust (sounds great, not
droney)
Tan bucket seats with factory console, matching rear bench, nice
dash and door panels
Exterior
Finished in bright white, the Blazer shows straight panels and
crisp body lines front to back. The grille, bezels, side markers,
and CST-style woodgrain lower moldings present well and give it the
correct '72 look. Chrome bumpers show nicely with even shine. The
truck wears a tan bikini top on a painted roll-bar hoop for shade
while keeping the fully open K5 experience. Wheel openings are
clean and the stance is spot-on-classic K5 proportions on 33s
without looking overdone.
Rolling stock consists of 15-inch steel rally wheels with chrome
caps and trim rings, wearing 33�12.50R15LT all-terrain tires that
fill the wells appropriately and give a confident, ready-to-use
look.
Interior
The tan cabin fits the white exterior perfectly. Bucket seats up
front flank a factory-style center console with storage; the rear
bench is trimmed to match. The dash pad is tidy, and the
original-style gauge cluster shows battery, temp, oil, and fuel
along with the large speedometer. A wood-rim steering wheel adds a
period sport touch. Door panels present well with faux-wood inserts
and bright trim. Floors are carpeted in tan with matching mats;
inner rockers and door jambs are clean and solid.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood sits a 350ci Chevrolet small-block topped with a
4-barrel and chrome Edelbrock air cleaner. The bay shows factory
A/C components, power steering, and power brakes. The V8 fires up
easily, idles smoothly, and pulls with the familiar small-block
torque. Shifts from the 3-speed automatic are positive, and the
dual-range transfer case engages properly via the floor lever for
2H/4H/4L as needed.
Chassis & Undercarriage
Underneath, the Blazer shows front disc brakes ('71-'72 spec),
stout GM truck axles, and a tidy frame. The dual exhaust exits
through a pair of Magnaflow mufflers for a deep, classic tone.
Suspension components, spring perches, and steering linkages
present as serviced and road-ready, not neglected. It sits level
and drives straight with predictable, vintage-truck manners.
Driving Impressions
Turn the key and the 350 settles into an easy idle. Steering is
light, brakes are confident, and the truck feels taught for a
full-convertible 4�4. Around town it's relaxed; on the highway the
33s track well and the Magnaflows give a mellow soundtrack. Drop
the bikini top and it's instant vacation vibes-exactly why these
'72s are so sought after.
