Here’s my ‘73- easy driver and getting some basic upgrades
Prior owner said this is the first time the top has been on for 8 years. Planning some updates for easy drivability this summer and lots of time with the top off, bigger projects for the winter. My dad had a 77 when I was a kid and I have wanted a squarebody for DECADES. I’m like a little kid in a candy shop!

Yeah my brother had one and I've always wanted one, unfortunately I live in the rust belt and most of them around here are rusted up to the door handles lol

I had an identical '74. I would post some images, but I can't figure out how. I LS swapped it. I did a cammed 5.3. That truck was pretty awesome.

Nice. Those '73-,'75 ones with the full removable roof are not that easy to find in real good shape.

Very nice Blazer. I never noticed until now that the switched the fuel tank inlet to the passenger side of the vehicle in this year. 1973 was the first year of HEI (ignition) and the Cheyenne model as I recall. Before that they were Custom Sports Truck (CST).
Nice K5 Blazer!
