22:31 If you can get to the plate, you can see what year it was last registered. That would be a good way to know how long it has been there. Also, there are wrecking companies that could get that out. Probably fairly easy for them. Those guys are really good at what they do. Great find!!
Love me a K5 Blazer, especially the earlier ones! Yeah, it's a 68-72. I had an 88 K5, loved it, but had to sell it to make a house payment or two years ago when my wife was out of work for a couple months. She said she would buy me another one, but as nice as my 88 was, she'd be paying A LOT for it now. Probably not gonna happen. I do have a really nice all original California truck 71 C10 2WD longbed with the 350 and 4 speed manual. She only has 89k original miles. What a sweet little truck! It's my hauler and dump run truck, and I wouldn't trade her for anything new! Oh, by the way, you were VERY close to me on this video! I live on the 371 between Anza and Aguanga.
Thank You so much for risking life-n-limb. I grew up in So Cal (El Segundo CA) but now live in Chicago IL so your expeditions bring back so many memories. Stay safe and watch out for the crazees out there ... Keith Chicago IL
Yup! That sure sounds like a rattlesnake! Yikes 😳 dude! You’re nuts sticking your hands like that in there! Yeah! I think that’s a 1969 k5 blazer! What a find! Those are becoming very collectible and expensive! Even in bad condition they bring big money. That one still in great condition for being exposed to the elements! Dude be careful where there’s one there’s more rattlesnake’s! And the baby ones are more lethal than their adult counterparts. That looks like either a 3 speed manual on the column or automatic! Or it could have been a 4 speed manual too! But I see a shift linkage on the steering column, so it looks to me like either the 3 speed manual or 3 speed automatic. That hubcap is from what looks like a late 40s to 50s Plymouth! Wow nice! It’s a keeper! That’s a VW beetle! Probably 60s or 70s. Great finds brother!👌😎👍be safe out there man!
Thanks for commenting!! I hope one day I can get that K5 blazer out of there. I highly doubt it will ever happen? Maybe a restoration company will get it out and rebuild it as a tv show or something??
without the hood and grille, I couldn't give an exact year, but it is definetly between 1967 and 1972 it went to square body in 1973 (the chevy) also, it would have been automatic with 4x4 the hole in the floor was to engage the four wheel drive
They were cool. I remember when they were new. I've driven them, rode in them and worked on them. You don't see many of them anymore. Back in those days, we never dreamed that our cars and trucks would be so sought after in the future. I wish I would have kept every car I ever had, they would be worth a fortune now days. I do still have one. I have a 1969 Chevelle that I restored a number of years ago, and I have an old 77 Chevy square body one ton truck with the granny 4 speed trans. I been driving that old thing for what seems like forever lol. @@reverserockettv007
Amazing all the stuff people have carried off. We sure used too love an adventure and nothing was off limits before we had cellphones to entertain us😅😅. Great find man!! 69-72 chevy
The weird branched shrubs are Ocotillo (oak-oh-tee-yoh). The three other plants are Agave or Century Plants. They are a succulent and not a cactus. Barn Owls will often roost and nest in rock wall crags and embankments. I'm hearing many Black-chinned Sparrows in your videos as well. Hello from Omaha.
I wanna say 70-72 ? Maybe a 71 based on the door handle design on the inside of the driver side. 71s had to piece door panels while 72s had 1 piece. Plus front disc brakes being a first for both 71 c10s and blazers. Its definitely a chevy since its only got 1 headlight on each side a Jimmy of that same year (69-72) had dual headlights on each side. Definitely had to be there awhile! Probably before the value of the old trucks started going up and it probably cost more then the truck was worth to remove it. Just the same im surprised someone hasn't taken it. Its a good find probably make a killer off-road rebuild!
3 Pieces of advice. #1 buy yourself an "unbreakable auto lock" to keep your truck from being stolen, "steering wheel clubs" are absolutely worthless. #2 buy a couple of bright orange and red triangular dune buggy antenna flags and attach them to your walking stick so in case of emergency 7:27 you can be spotted and cars on the highway can see you better. #3 27:29 rattlesnakes like to also hide under plywood, cars, bushes and rocks so it also might be a good idea to attach a bell or 2 to your walking stick to make them rattle.
True there are some that's rare and sorta easy fixable caps there is also stigma of bringing home a attatchment believe me or not I bought a car the guy died in I had to set ride of it there was an attachment and no one ever saw any happiness with that car
Anza is a hot place! I hiked through there on my way to Canada from the border on the PCT. Such a dry unforgiving place in summer! Never saw snakes or poison oak but it's there! Be safe out there bring fruit and apricots! Long sleeves!!!
HI R.R.V.,, GREAT TO SEE ANOTHER VIDEO !!! BUT ALL ALONE WE SAY ?? WE HOPE THERES CELL PHONE ... CHECK OUT GETTING A STERRING WHEEL BAR FOR THIEFS?? SOME FRIENDS ARE OVER WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY SAY ONE BITE FROM A SNAKE BITE YOUR DEAD IN 20 MINS YOU DO LOVE YOUR EXPLORING AND WE WATCH ENJOYING!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS A HUMAN SPNE OF THE LAST PERSON GOING DOWN THERE .. THERE ARE SMALL FIRST AID KITS OR BRING BANDADES IN YOUR POCKET,, THAT HUB CAP WAS AWSOME BRING ANOTHER SMALL BAG IF YOU CAN,, WHAT A GREAT VIEW!!! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO>>>>PEACE.........
Probably left back when these things were cheap. Even in my youth in the early 2000’s you could buy sweet 4x4 square body chevy’s and gmc’s for less than 2k.
For a hiking stick try 1/2 inch stiff electrical metal conduit (I think its called EMT) - very light, very strong, comes in any length you need. Just wrap some electrical tape around one end for a hand-hold.
I know some people that restore old cars like the k5, they're normally in better shape but I can definitely get it done for you. It might end up getting used as a parts car for another one I would love to be able to get in contact with you
My friends and I chatted about this yesterday and now that new guard rails are in place it’s almost impossible to get it out unless you get a helicopter involved. Also we would have to go about getting the paperwork right on it and I am not sure if it’s worth getting involved honestly. And you would also need to shut down a state hwy.. So much work involved. Thanks for reaching out though!
I hope one this gets save would be worth doing i know would be lot of work but would be worth getting it out if posable its a great find even if you could do it just the cost great truck be a great project to to restore you have to find out from the number plate and the vin who the owner was or is great explore to stay safe to take care out there to
It has the vin and license plate still on it. My dream is to get it removed somehow and restore it or watch someone else do it. It takes a helicopter to get it out sadly… They built a guardrail around it now so it’s almost impossible without a crane and shutting the road down….
@@reverserockettv007 I bet with a crane if someone were to unbolt the body off the frame a crane could pick it up in two, as long as you took off the front fenders and such, wouldn't be the hardest except, like you said, getting the road shut down or something like that would be tough, but I think bringing it up in pieces slowly wouldnt be that hard, I'd be willing to, would make a great project
I have find another interesting think in the forrest it is way more know about but it a old speedway in berthierville, Québec. It the St-Paul speedway, it visible from google map.
@@reverserockettv007 No. I saw them driving up Ortega Hwy and pulled over at the turn out after seeing a glimpse of a shiny object below the hwy. It is steep and brushy. Took some pictures from above and after looking at them when I got home I noticed there wete at least three vehicles down there.
@@reverserockettv007 i meant "helo".. BTW, why do you ride with oldtimer Joel who had 12-13 beers the night before? That's being plain reckless and a recipe for disaster...
Those Dead tree like cactus. is a fouquirera splenders. Or Ocotillo in Spanish. Is a plant indigenous to the Sonora desert and chihuahuan desert in the southwest United States southern Nevada Arizona New Mexico Texas and northern Mexico as far south as hidalgo and Guerrero.
I’d ask a friend to get that truck 🛻for ya. Yes, the truth is, it can even be repaired, but at what cost 💲? I heard this on a classic car 🚗 show that I watch. It would be another vehicle 🚗 back on the road again. Hopefully 🤞 not off a cliff again. Your friend, Jeff.
That K5 looks like junk, unfortunately. It looks like someone made the floor panels out of wood, probably badly rusted. And with the A-pillar cut off like that, man....what a shame. Are you sure it was a wreck, and not someone 4-wheeling their beater Blazer, got stuck, maybe broke, and they just left it there? That front axle is a Dana 44, probably had a 12-bolt GM Corporate rear end. If that is the front axle that came with that K5 stock, it will be a 71 or 72 model, as the first year for disc brakes was 71, IIRC. And 73 was the body change from the Action Line to the Square Body. It has a column shifter, but looks like a later model steering wheel. I am guessing it was an automatic transmission truck stock, since the floor would have two holes if it was a manual, one for the trans shifter and one for the transfer case lever.
@reverserockettv007 Yeah, that thing looked trashed. Could it be fixed? Most likely. Worth fixing? Not in my opinion, and I LOVE that generation of K5.
GO WITH YOUR GUT,,..LOOKS LIKE WHAT YOU SAID V/W..THE HANDLE INSIDE LOOOK AT THE CAR ,,VERY COOL ITS STILL THERE..IF YOU REPELLED WITH A ROPE LIKE WE DID IN THE MILITARY ,, GREAT. BUT THERE COULD BE SNAKES IN THE ROCK WALL..PEACE ,OUT...
I enjoy watching your videos. You might wear a light weight back pack to keep your hands free. Also consider a good pair of field glasses, has saved me hiking a long way to see nothing. All the best. RF
@@reverserockettv007 Leave out the last six digits which are the production sequence and unique to that vehicle. All of the other numbers are what it's about. It would go like this with the VIN for the win: K for 4WD, S for six cylinder equipped or E for V8 gas equipped, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 8 for Blazer, then 9 for 1969 model year (0 is 1970, 1 is 1971, 2 is 1972), possible F for Flint, MI assembly (among other choices) and the rest is the production sequence.
Why I only shoot videos here in Arizona between October and March. I hike and do the same stuff as you do too on UA-cam. I see rattlesnake ls all the time they're usually quiet
Why not send the drone. For places that you cannot reach. Or too dangerous. For a close-up view of the car that would be cool? Bring the drone with you.
Only a helicopter could get it out! There are guard rails put in now that we’re not there when it crashed. It’s also on blind corner on a state highway! Nobody is getting it out unless the highway patrol shuts the road down…
@reverserockettv007 okay buddy but be careful if traveling alone, if you brake an ankle it would very difficult for you to get out. Would not want to see you hurt , love your show...
🤭🤭🤭Good idea but I think the hardest part would be getting it out since they put up guard rails after it crashed. But I would love to see it on the road!
@@reverserockettv007 I've done all sorts of towing, repo, and recovery for years. To get that out would cost you approximately $300/hr. I've found stuff like this. What I do is take that VIN and plate # and have the DMV + CHP check it out for theft or any crimes. Officers tend to get real "happy" about finding a stash of stolen cars or old crime clues. All you need is them to tell you if the car's stolen or not so you could register it. Also... Make friends with a tow guy or company owner. They may go see it with you and tell you nah nah nah I can't do it or whatever and they'll snake it out from under you. And... if you get that "free" you absolutely cannot beat the price, but as the son of a lifelong bodyman and car builder.... even with you buying everything on the cheap through mail order or swap meet scrounging, that truck is going to cost you some coin to restore even if you do it yourself. This is all pure and sincere advice.
idc how it with getting to own it... but id Deff haul that body out of there lol . id find a way to make a skid plate/frame xD and just DRAG it out lol
I just don’t know how you would get it past the guard rails. Plus the vehicle is sitting on a blind corner. The only way I could imagine getting it out is with a helicopter.
22:31
If you can get to the plate, you can see what year it was last registered. That would be a good way to know how long it has been there.
Also, there are wrecking companies that could get that out. Probably fairly easy for them.
Those guys are really good at what they do.
Great find!!

That K5 looks like junk, unfortunately. It looks like someone made the floor panels out of wood, probably badly rusted. And with the A-pillar cut off like that, man....what a shame. Are you sure it was a wreck, and not someone 4-wheeling their beater Blazer, got stuck, maybe broke, and they just left it there? That front axle is a Dana 44, probably had a 12-bolt GM Corporate rear end. If that is the front axle that came with that K5 stock, it will be a 71 or 72 model, as the first year for disc brakes was 71, IIRC.

I don’t usually post the vins on newer vehicles.
@@reverserockettv007 Leave out the last six digits which are the production sequence and unique to that vehicle. All of the other numbers are what it's about.
It would go like this with the VIN for the win: K for 4WD, S for six cylinder equipped or E for V8 gas equipped, 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 8 for Blazer, then 9 for 1969 model year (0 is 1970, 1 is 1971, 2 is 1972), possible F for Flint, MI assembly (among other choices) and the rest is the production sequence.
If the fenders do not have marker lights then the blazer is a 1967
I have heard 71 a few times??
I agree with Wayne it is a 69 to 72
Why I only shoot videos here in Arizona between October and March. I hike and do the same stuff as you do too on UA-cam. I see rattlesnake ls all the time they're usually quiet
Very scary because I know Arizona has many rattlers!
Column shift, automatically w/4WD like my old 73 454 K5, that one looks like a 69-70?
Thanks! I appreciate your input!
To be safe wear long sleeves and gloves.
Thanks for watching! Nice advice!!
Why not send the drone. For places that you cannot reach. Or too dangerous. For a close-up view of the car that would be cool? Bring the drone with you.
I honestly want to get a hands on experience on the cars. I don’t like tugging the drone along everywhere I go but I know what you mean!
That truck is fixable, I could have that up and running in 5months
Only a helicopter could get it out! There are guard rails put in now that we’re not there when it crashed. It’s also on blind corner on a state highway! Nobody is getting it out unless the highway patrol shuts the road down…
70 to72 k blazer buddy.
I love those old blazers!
It was stripped and rolled off
the cliff
I believe you are right!
Saw owl and other bird, heard the snake he just wanted a kiss. Don't like the boots no ankle support send them back.
Naw, I love those boot! I got a different pair as well I will be wearing tomorrow when we film.. video coming Monday…
@reverserockettv007 okay buddy but be careful if traveling alone, if you brake an ankle it would very difficult for you to get out. Would not want to see you hurt , love your show...
Vw 68-77 from looks of plastic grab bar on dash. 🤷
Aw thanks!!
Do you ever plan on buying storage units again?
I buy them weekly. I don’t film the videos anymore. The videos don’t get views…
Bone from spine is a coyote???
I think your right!
It not worth paying get it out blazers out there if you have money's it worth it find them online better shape
That probably stolen it bad shape
True!
did you make a instagram or anything yet?
No I only really use UA-cam. What’s been going on with you?? Send me your cell somehow I got a spot for you to film!!
Disc brakes… 1972
Aw! Thanks!!
Do a go fund me to build this blazer.
🤭🤭🤭Good idea but I think the hardest part would be getting it out since they put up guard rails after it crashed. But I would love to see it on the road!
Those boots are not as protective as Said they can bite half inch leather and very meanrattlers are worse I know via experience
That’s what I was fearing!
Well ma6be call big d on deasil bros recovery if they make a vidi so of it then you may get a truck
Good idea!
@@reverserockettv007
I've done all sorts of towing, repo, and recovery for years. To get that out would cost you approximately $300/hr.
I've found stuff like this. What I do is take that VIN and plate # and have the DMV + CHP check it out for theft or any crimes. Officers tend to get real "happy" about finding a stash of stolen cars or old crime clues. All you need is them to tell you if the car's stolen or not so you could register it.
Also...
Make friends with a tow guy or company owner. They may go see it with you and tell you nah nah nah I can't do it or whatever and they'll snake it out from under you.
And... if you get that "free" you absolutely cannot beat the price, but as the son of a lifelong bodyman and car builder.... even with you buying everything on the cheap through mail order or swap meet scrounging, that truck is going to cost you some coin to restore even if you do it yourself.
This is all pure and sincere advice.
‘69-‘72
Thanks!
👋😀 from sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks! Sweden!!
idc how it with getting to own it... but id Deff haul that body out of there lol . id find a way to make a skid plate/frame xD and just DRAG it out lol
I just don’t know how you would get it past the guard rails. Plus the vehicle is sitting on a blind corner. The only way I could imagine getting it out is with a helicopter.
@reverserockettv007 treu that is the trickiest past . And road can't be used either . Just begging for cops and paperwork 😅
Get yourself some gloves.
I will!
69-72
69-71
Thanks!
A 69-72. Not worth saving imo.
None of your videos are a wast of time I love nature even automotive memorabilia like the center cap you found
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Do you got a Instagram?
No I just mainly focus on UA-cam.
