My '70 K5 Blazer is the reason I've never bought another Chevrolet. Cold with that uninsulated fiberglass top, top heavy, over sprung, short coupled, rode like a lumber wagon, rusted badly and drank gas like it had a hole in the tank. Last straw was coming down a slippery hill backwards with the plow attached being that light in the back end.
Had a 72 and you described it perfectly. Couldn't hold a good downshift to the current 4Runner TRD Pro. As Sam says, "These are the good old days."
