1970 K5 BLAZER

“UP FOR AUCTION” is a 1970 CHEVROLET K5 Blazer. This is a 44 year old vehicle and it is a very reliable and desirable model for a lot of car collectors or off road enthusiasts. It has the original 307 CU engine with a two barrel carburetor and the four speed transmission The DANA 44 differentials with 3.73 GEARS and the 205 TRANSFER CASE. I’m the second owner and it shows 54,000 original miles on the speedometer and according to the previous owner, this are in fact the original miles. This vehicle was not used for a few years and it was just parked in a garage were I found it 18 years ago. This engine still has a lot of life left on it.

I had all the brakes re-done about a year ago, (drum type front and rear). It has chrome headers with a new dual exhaust system extended all the way to the rear with side exit and chrome tips. I had a 2 1/2 inches lift kit installed with all four 9000 Rancho shock absorbers. It has no AC and no PB. It does have power steering.

An AM/FM radio/cassette stereo is in place and ready to receive the speakers of your choice (no speakers). All gauges work except the amps gauge. The gauge cluster was replaced with a new unit and I think that the problem is just probably a loose connection.

The interior was fixed a little but never finished except for the seats and side door panels that were upholstered with a camouflage material. It needed a roll bar so I got one for it with a padding material around it for a better look and protection. The dashboard was also replaced and still needs carpeting, moldings and seat belts. I have the center console for it. Overall, It needs only some cosmetic touches. The wipers, heater, emergency warning lights, turn signals glove compartment glove lock assembly, and foot brake work fine. I need to mention that the outer rocker side panels on both sides had only a few rust bubbles and they didn’t need to be replaced instead they were only repaired and the floor pans, doors, window gutters, fenders, frame  and bed are free of rust and very solid. This is an Arizona truck.

. A class III hidden behind the license plate towing package with the electrical system for towing trailers with electric brakes was professionally installed for a safer towing of any kind of properly weight rated trailer.  The gas tank has a protecting plate. A  POWERFUL 12,000 Lbs. WARN winch was mounted on a specially designed steel bumper for this model and it is connected directly to a red top Optima battery.

It has the solid fiberglass double insulated top with the attachments already installed for a heavy duty luggage rack (included). All the hinges and hardware for the rear hatch work fine and are in good condition.

I tried to describe the vehicle condition to the best of my knowledge but if you have any questions just ask and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for bidding.

Full-size trucks are the best and worst vehicles in America

Thu, Apr 28 2022

You don’t need me to tell you that Americans love pickup trucks. And the bigger the truck, the more likely it seems to be seen as an object of desire. Monthly and yearly sales charts are something of a broken record; track one is the Ford F-Series, followed by the Chevy Silverado, RamÂ’s line of haulers, and somewhere not far down the line, the GMC Sierra. The big Japanese players fall in place a bit further below — not that thereÂ’s anything wrong with a hundred thousand Toyota Tundra sales — and one-size-smaller trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado have proven awfully popular, too. Along with their sales numbers, the average cost of new trucks has similarly been on the rise. Now, I donÂ’t pretend to have the right to tell people what they should or shouldnÂ’t buy with their own money. But I just canÂ’t wrap my head around why a growing number of Americans are choosing to spend huge sums of money on super luxurious pickup trucks. Let me first say I do understand the appeal. People like nice things, after all. I know I do. I myself am willing to spend way more than the average American on all sorts of discretionary things, from wine and liquor to cameras and lenses. IÂ’ve even spent my own money on vehicles that I donÂ’t need but want anyway. A certain vintage VW camper van certainly qualifies. I also currently own a big, inefficient SUV with a 454-cubic-inch big block V8. So if your answer to the question IÂ’m posing here is that youÂ’re willing to pay the better part of a hundred grand on a chromed-out and leather-lined pickup simply because you want to, then by all means — not that you need my permission — go buy one. The part I donÂ’t understand is this: Why wouldn't you, as a rational person, rather split your garage in half? On one side would sit a nice car that is quiet, rides and handles equally well and gets above average fuel mileage. Maybe it has a few hundred gasoline-fueled horsepower, or heck, maybe itÂ’s electric. On the other side (or even outside) is parked a decent pickup truck. One that can tow 10,000 pounds, haul something near a ton in the bed, and has all the goodies most Americans want in their cars, like cruise control, power windows and locks, keyless entry, and a decent infotainment screen.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Jay Leno joins the dark side with Darth Vader's car

Mon, Dec 14 2015

There still isn't a better Star Wars villain than Darth Vader. The Sith Lord defines menacing with his black suit, deep voice, and a penchant for choking underlings. Maybe The Force Awakens can introduce a better bad guy when the film hits theaters in the coming days, but Vader remains king until then. Jay Leno now shows some respect for the dark side of the force by welcoming Darth's car into his garage. This isn't just the tiny Hot Wheels toy, but the fully drivable version that premiered last year at San Diego Comic-Con. The car's design clearly evokes Vader's iconic helmet, but it still looks like a mean hot rod. Designer Bryan Benedict also shows Leno a few other Star Wars touches in the styling, like the light saber side pipes and Imperial logos on the wheels. One of the coolest features is that the roof rises out of the way to let in passengers, which is a small nod to a scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Underneath the Vader-inspired shape, the car uses a heavily modified C6 Chevrolet Corvette platform, and Jay gets to take it for a short drive. Leno even leans into the dark side with some maniacal laughter while behind the wheel. Related Video:
