Details

This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a complete custom build with attention to detail throughout and a recently completed nut-and-bolt restoration. Thousands of hours went into this no-expense-spared unique build. The body was acid-dipped and then finished in Sikkens Silver Blue and white paint laid over a laser-straight body. The frame was acid-dipped and then powder-coated black. This K5 is powered by a new GM Performance LS3 525hp. The engine is mated to a 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission and is equipped with an advanced adapter to support the NP205 transfer case. The suspension features Offroad Design leaf springs and a 4-inch lift. It has completely rebuilt front and rear 8-lug axles with a 4.10 rear ratio. It rides on KMC Machete machined wheels with 35x12.50x17 BFGoodrich KM3 tires. Some of the other highlights include a Vintage Air system, a custom TIG-welded exhaust system, a Rick's stainless-steel fuel tank, stainless-steel brake lines, Ultimate stainless-steel headers, a Performance Rod and Custom Aluminum radiator, a Billet Specialties front drive, custom-made Wegner Racing billet valve covers, a CPP Hydro-boost brake booster, a custom-made air intake, a custom Autosound stereo and Classic Instruments gauges. The K5 has a custom leather and plaid interior done by award-winning Jon Lind in Oyster leather and blue and white plaid. The dash, console and door panels are wrapped in leather as well to complete the look. The K5 also comes with a completely restored top finished in white. This show-quality build was done with the best available parts and a high level of attention to detail.
