1971 Chevrolet Blazer K/5

Here's a really cool and nicely restored 1971 K/5 Blazer Convertible. Completed over several years, this was a lot of work and near total restoration to driver quality that took 100's of hrs. Taken down to the frame and bare metal, treated and then rebuilt with new parts as needed. There's no rust on this truck and it's mechanically sound in just about every way.
The 4 x 4 Manual Drive train, has 4WH, 4WL and 2WH. And the clutch is new.
Mostly driven without the removable top - which needs to be repainted, but is in really good shape. The glass all around is excellent. A soft top is also included, but it's missing the frame. Two rear Wrangler's (33") are new, the front tires are showing some wear. A spare is included. The fronts have their orig. wheel locks and the rear rims are orig. as well.
The interior is fresh and sporty, the dash is redone, but we kept orig. items like dash bezel and controls to retain originality. Glove box shows the build options, even has it's orig. brochure. Orig. buckets included - need recovering. The rear bench seat is in good shape with some slight seam wear. Carpet and different seats can easily added to change the look and ride of this classic. Listed below is a summary of what's been done to the truck.
