Details

This custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer underwent a professional, true nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration by Z's Radical Rods. It is powered by a new GM Connect & Cruise direct-injected Gen 5 LT1 V8 engine producing 460hp and 465 ft/lbs of torque. This engine is paired with a new GM 4L70E transmission and an NP205 transfer case. The rear is a new Dana 60 axle assembly from Moser with 4.10 ratio gears and a Detroit Locker that is 3 inches wider than stock to give it the same width as the front. The engine has a CVF front-runner serpentine belt system. To keep the engine cool it has a Griffin radiator and dual 16-inch fans. The Dana 44 axle in the front has been completely rebuilt with new 4.10 ratio gears. The chassis was custom-built with 3/16 tubing and off-road design suspension with 10-inch travel King coilovers up front and 8-inch travel King coilovers in the rear for a true 4-inch suspension lift. The front and rear 4-link is completely adjustable. It has King bump-stops in the front and the rear, with front and rear sway bars and cross steering for that nice ride and handling. The chassis was powder-coated Satin Black and the bottom was painted satin for that clean and durable look. For stopping power, it has 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes and hydro-boost with a Wilwood master cylinder. It sits on 17x9 KMC Grenade Crawl beadlock wheels wrapped in 315/70R17 Nitto tires. It is also equipped with automatic electric power AMP running boards with lights. The two-tone PPG paint accentuates the attention to detail on every curve and body gap on this Blazer. Every part of the body was stripped and epoxied before any work was done for the best corrosion protection. The body was completely sanded and polished before final assembly. It also features a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital gauges, power windows, a quick-removable rear seat, power left front seat, tilt steering, bear claw latches, custom roll bar and all LED lights inside and out, as well as a hidden fuel door behind the taillight. It has a Kenwood double-DIN stereo with Apple CarPlay, backup camera and 900-watt JL Audio amp to power the two JBL subwoofers and six Focal speakers. The single-wall top has been completely redone with new glass and the inside was painted to match the interior. The custom panels and painted dash match the seats. A full stainless-steel exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers provides those awesome sounds, and the inside was completely wrapped in soundproofing to keep the noise down on the inside. It includes all manuals and documents of the build, which has just over 200 miles since completion.
