Johnny Lightning 1969 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer
The frenzy for the Jeep that served in World War II to the masses was in full swing, and other automakers wanted to pitch in on the fun. International created the Scout, Ford created the Bronco, while Chevrolet created the K-5 Blazer. This classic truck still looks good today and also predated where the Bronco and Dodge Ramcharger would be like in the next two decades. Here's an excellent example from Johnny Lightning. Being late to the party General Motors wanted to capitalize on the success of the Jeep CJ line, so unlike Ford who decided to create a platform of their own for the Bronco, Chevrolet used the C-10 pickup as the basis for the K5 Blazer. Unlike the pickup the Blazer has the bed and interior combined together with a removable roof top and a rear bench seat. Other than that it looks pretty much the same as the C-10 pickups. 1969 models were offered only with part-time 4-wheel drive with front and rear live axles...
