Looking for 1969-72 K5 Blazer or Jimmy 4x4 driver
Hello guys and gals, I’m looking for a decent Chevy K5 Blazer or GMC Jimmy 4x4 in original driver condition. I plan to keep it at our cabin and use it for light-duty work, and to take the family touring on local forestry roads. When I’m not using it, I’ll keep it tucked away in a warm dry garage. I would prefer a running / driving truck... “ideally” wearing its original paint, minimal rust and plenty of patina. I will probably add a winch at some point (to help pull our dock out of the water every fall... cuz I’m gettin older), so a Warn winch bumper would be a plus.
I sure would appreciate you all keeping your eyes peeled if one happens to cross your path. I’m hoping to get as good a truck as I can find for a price in the mid-teens. No particular hurry, but spring is coming. Here’s what I picture in my own mind... appreciate any leads. Thanks!

In order to keep this post current, I’ll point out some that I’ve seen but passed on.
This one has been on the wrong end of a spray bomb... including the inside of the glove box!. Who knows what’s hiding underneath? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F324004924683

I hope the "mid-teens" is Canadian money. In real money what you are describing is mid 20's in the Southern USA. It's hard to find any first gen or early second gen Blazers or Jimmys around here with good rocker boxes. Here is one for 14k. It's the only one on a regional CL search. It's pretty rough. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/c...032450370.html From what I've seen, clapped out rust buckets and builders are 5-10k+. I do know where an original owner unrestored decent driver is but the guy won't sell and his sons are standing in line for it. |

Judging from that Ebay ad I have my exchange rate conversion backwards.

Hey southernfriedcj, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. For some reason I cannot pull up the seller’s phone number. I get an error pop-up every time I click on his contact info? Can anyone else access the phone number?
https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/c...032450370.html And I was talking about spending mid-teens in US$.

A little out of your price range but Hemmings Motor News has a 72 Hugger orange K5 Blazer with 12000 miles for a mere 200K.
