Chevy Blazer is the best way to get where you're going. Not just over an old logging road and through two streams to get back where the big fish are. But to the office, grocery shopping, the dentist and anywhere else you need to go. Because that's Blazer. All the comfort and driving ease of the kind of family car your wife likes. And all the toughness and utility of the kind of pickup truck you could use. And all of the fun that you can only get with a machine that can take you just about anywhere you'd like to go. A vehicle that makes you just as comfortable on asphalt streets and concrete turnpikes as it does on sandy deserts and mountain trails. And makes it feel just as easy to the driver. 5 jfvs-.-s. -Y* """ wt More room, more power, more everything. ;!P«r, .- t .V.i--:^':^'Js VV''% ^-/\ -t^ You'll notice the room as soon as you get inside a Blazer. It's as wide as a regular Chevy^ pickup so you get full width inside. Full width for people. Full width for cargo. And full width for a wide, stable track underneath you. The power shows up when you turn the key and put Blazer in gear. No vehicle like it offers a bigger six than Blazer's standard engine. And Blazer makes available two rugged V8 powerplants: the 307 and the 350-V8. Features? You could spend a weekend counting them all.

They both come with standard front disc brakes. And finned rear drums. And power assist. Built-in fender liners that help fight rust and wear. More double-wall body construction where it counts. Standard side door glass. Plus a lot more. #».»■ 3|fc ' " * ■ ' Mrnimrnxmrnim N .■ '\Wv"-r .. , - Front disc brakes. Standard. Power is standard. With disc brakes up front. For long brake life, even in the toughest kind of driving. On road or off. , More fade resistance because disc 1 , , brakes run cooler under the repeated-use conditions of rugged terrain. Improved recovery from the effects of water, salt and slush because of the spin-away action of the rotating brake discs. And improved vehicle handling because a special 3-way valve balances the entire system, proportions front and rear braking pressures, and warns of pressure loss in either half of the brake system Both front and rear brakes are self-adjusting. And the rear brake drums are finned for better cooling. "■>;- • ^lazer 4-wheel drive: wide-stance stability. One feature that gives the 4-wheel- drive Blazer its ability to make better time up and around the hills is its wide-stance suspension. Blazer's 4-wheel-drive chassis uses tapered-leaf front and rear springs. For a smooth ride and lower unsprung weight. Rear spring assemblies are 2-stage. With four conventional leaves and one tapered leaf. Shot-peened under stress for extra durability. And, to go with it, standard double-acting shocks. Combined to give a comfortable, easy-handling ride. Balanced for both on- and off-the-road use. X Chevy^ proved power train components. Both front and rear axles on the 4-wheel-drive Blazer have hypoid gearing for extra quietness, strength. Front axle has a 40-degree turn angle —a turning circle of just 36.66 ft. from curb to curb. Rear axle shafts are semi-floating type. Drive shafts are dynamically balanced heavy-wall steel. Shaft splines are fine-grain alloy steel, phosphate coated to lessen friction. And the universal joints are permanently sealed, eliminating periodic lubrication. The standard 2-speed transfer case offers high or low range in 4-wheel drive. Engine power can be used to rrm a wide variety of special equipment through the power takeoff on the transfer case. No wider seiection of engines and transmissions available. The standard six-cylinder engine is the 250-cu.-in. six. With twelve-counterweight crankshaft. Contoured camshaft. Full-length water jackets. <1 Blazer 2-wheei drive. All four wheels are cushioned by full coil spring suspension for exceptional smoothness. Front wheels operate independently. Road shock is stopped at the source. The rear suspension uses dual-stage springs that give a softer ride when empty, a firmer ride when loaded. Axle movement is precisely controlled by a system employing two trailing arms. With double-acting shock absorbers included as standard equipment, front and rear. Standard V8 is the 307-cu.-in. engine. You can order the 350 V8. Both have special coatings on the heads and valve faces to retard deposits. And all Blazer engines are designed to operate efficiently, with lower exhaust pollutants, on no-lead, low-lead or regular fuel. The standard transmission is the synchromesh 3-speed manual with steering columnmounted shift lever. You can also order the 4-speed manual with floor-mounted shift lever or, best of all, the fully automatic 3-speed Tiurbo Hydra-matic. Options? Take a look!
