Chevy K5 Blazer
One of the coolest trucks to roll out of the factory with a shell and two doors, the original K5 Blazer maintains its place in the Toughest Trucks Hall of Fame! Thanks to its relatively small size, strong frame, simple drivetrain, and reliable line-up of motors. You could pick up the K5 with a very reliable straight-6 available in 250 or 292 cubic inches, or you could ramp it up with a traditional 5.0-liter powerplant. Of course, K5 truly earned its title as a Tough Truck thanks to the ultra-reliable Chevy 350. The original K5 Blazer was introduced in 1969 with a short wheelbase that hosted 4-wheel-drive only. In 1970, Chevy expanded the lineup and offered the K5 in a two-wheel-drive configuration that even featured independent front suspension – a rare feature seen on trucks in the 70’s.
