I had a '81 K5 Blazer w/350 that was a good solid truck IMO, except the gas mileage was terrible. That thing would get 10-12 MPG either climbing a mountain pass or coasting down it. Basically the mileage never changed.

I had a 1977 K5 Blazer with full time 4 wheel drive 350, auto. I miss that truck. It was my daily driver when I lived on the East coast. It went through just about anything, mud, snow, streams, etc. It was easy to work on when you climb into the engine compartment and sit on the inner fender. I wish I still had it except thanks to the NY winters it was too rotted. I'd love to find another at some point in time.
