1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST 4×4 – Medium Olive & White, Removable Top, Rebuilt V8, A/C, Loaded with Options

This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST 4×4 is a beautifully refinished and well-equipped example of one of Chevrolet’s most iconic off-roaders. With its striking two-tone Medium Olive and White paint, removable white hardtop, and factory-style appointments throughout, this CST (Custom Sport Truck) model delivers classic SUV presence paired with updated mechanical reliability. Power comes from a rebuilt 350ci LS9 V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission, dual-range transfer case, and a Positraction limited-slip rear differential, making it just as capable on the trail as it is on pavement.

Inside and out, this K5 presents in highly appealing condition and has been enhanced with tasteful factory-style upgrades like 15” Rally-style wheels, air conditioning, a roll bar, power steering, front disc brakes, and a vintage-style radio. The odometer shows 84,000 miles, and the truck benefits from a thorough cosmetic and mechanical refresh under previous ownership.

With its combination of rugged mechanicals, collector-grade styling, and turn-key usability, this K5 Blazer CST is an ideal choice for the enthusiast looking for a classic 4×4 that needs nothing but a new set of adventures.
