What’s the Difference….Full Convertible vs standard top K5 Blazer

[@7B-NorthIdaho]

Great video! Great content! I have a 75 that is identical color as your 73! That’s just one of two blazers and 3 pickups! All but 2 are on my project list and seeing content like this keeps me inspired! Thanks again for taking the time to share info!

[@corysgarage3928]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you! Wish I could see the your projects! That green and white combo is pretty rare, I just love getting the opportunity to work on these trucks!

the full converts also dont have the lowered footwell for back passenger. The grills are same 73-74. 75-76, and 77-79. the 79 and 80 have different headlight trim that had a piece of trim around the turn signal. 80s have a unique grills 1 year only and 80s has square lights in the upper models but cheaper ones had round and used the same headlight trim as the 79. 78 was first year of a gas doors over the fillers in the trucks im not sure on the blazer. I love square bodies.

[@corysgarage3928]

Great info!!! I appreciate it! I’m not as sharp on the square body blazers and this helps!

[@jeffreyrigged]

@corysgarage3928 no problem brother. I miss my square. Another one will be in my garage in the future.

[@matthewmace3566]

i love blazers.

[@corysgarage3928]

Me too! They are pretty sweet!

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

I've had 3, I currently have a 77, I had a 75 and a different 77 back in the day, and about 12 other square body variants, I just love that era of GM vehicles.

Good information and content. Ty for your time

[@corysgarage3928]

Thank you for saying so! I appreciate the kind words my friend!

[@jeffreyrigged]

There is a certain angle you can set your exhaust kinda like the aftermarket diesel duals you get and it will not fume you so bad.

[@corysgarage3928]

It’s for sure a tricky recipe. Thank you for watching!

[@jeffreyrigged]

@corysgarage3928 yeah I got to get my bronco done when I can get started on it. I'm going to try that setup. I was also told to have the tips past the body a few inches

[@corysgarage3928]

What bronco do you have? I’ve also heard about running it a few inches behind the bumper.

[@jeffreyrigged]

@@corysgarage3928 90 brick nose. It will probably be on my channel after I get the 2 buicks up to snuff.

[@corysgarage3928]

Nice! I had a black 90 brick nose bronco 351w, 32 inch tires. My most favorite alive ever had. I miss it.

[@user-oklaRon]

I would of changed the title to K 5 Blazer what is the difference so when someone is searching for a video for a K 5 it would pop up. But there is some good info if someone is thinking about buying one. I never thought about a convertible frame being different.

[@corysgarage3928]

Great idea!!! I’ll try to see if I can fit that in! Yea, the convertible is a bit more complex in the body structure.

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

I 100% agree about the 1980 specifically, i dont like the square headlight.

[@corysgarage3928]

It’s just a really odd look for that body style. I appreciate ya!!!

[@kevinbushey1879]

Nothing they both rust out the same 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@corysgarage3928]

You nailed it on that one!!
