Re: What does the 1500, 2500, etc of trucks really mean?

said by emissionsdoc:

A K-5 Chevy Blazer was a (.5) quarter ton truck.
Don't you mean .25 for quarter ton? .5 is half ton.

I haven't seen a K-5 Blazer in a while. I had a High School acquaintance that had one of them and it was a blast in the woods of GA. It had the normal removable Fiberglass hardtop and even had the soft top for summer use.

Another strange beast I've not seen in many moons was the 4WD Vandura Van by GMC. Those were strange bad-ass vehicles.

Doc -

You sure those vans came from the factory w/ 4x4? I'm thinking the ones we see today are conversions. I'm no van expert though

I'm pretty sure the 4x4 Vandura was factory built.
