1972 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER CUSTOM SUV

Details

This no-expense-spared custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the product of over 1,500 hours invested in a complete frame-off build. It is powered by a new GM LS3 430hp engine paired with a 4L75E automatic overdrive transmission and the original NP205 transfer case. Upgrades include New Old Stock (NOS) front and rear axles with 4.11 gears, and a stainless-steel exhaust system. This Blazer is also equipped with polished headers, a Holley Sniper intake and a polished front-runner system by Vintage

Air. The engine is cooled by a DeWitt aluminum radiator. The fuel tank is stainless steel from Rick's Hot Rods and includes a new, original GM fuel pump. This custom rides on a 4-inch lift kit, complete with Fox shocks and all-new leaf springs, with 11 leaves per spring for a softer ride. The 315/70R17 Goodyear tires mounted on Mickey Thompson wheels connect the power to the ground. Braking is handled by a Hydrovac brake booster system. Upgrades include a powder-coated custom steel rollbar with shoulder harness seat belts, and a removable hardtop for an all-season ride. The body was stripped top to bottom and all metalwork was completed and epoxy-primed, with U-Pol Raptor protective coating applied to the floor. The entire body is finished with AXALTA urethane paint. The frame, radiator support, inner fenders and axles are finished with a powder coat. For safety, LED headlights and taillights were installed. Power steps have also been installed to assist entry and exit. The interior features all-new upholstery, carpet and weatherstripping, Dynamat insulation and a Vintage Air system. The dashboard includes a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster and an upgraded Bluetooth flatscreen AM/FM stereo. The driver's seat was moved back 3 inches for legroom and includes an Ididit tilt steering column. It has approximately 300 miles since its completion in June 2023.
