Vehicle Description
This 1969 K5 Blazer Resto-Mod is the product of over 1,200 hours
invested in a complete frame-off build. The solid body retains
nearly all of its original sheet metal, which was completely
stripped from top to bottom. The underside was epoxy-primed and
coated with U-Pol Raptor protective coating for chip and sound
control. Dynamat insulation on the floor and firewall provides
additional sound control. All metal was epoxy-primed and finished
with BASF urethane paint. The frame, radiator support, inner
fenders and axles are powder-coated. This Blazer is powered by a
new GM Connect & Cruise 430hp LS3 engine and a 4L70E automatic
overdrive transmission with the original NP205 transfer case. The
engine is cooled by a DeWitt aluminum radiator. The front axle is
upgraded with power disc brakes and a new posi-traction unit. The
rear axle is upgraded with a new posi-traction unit and 4.11 gears.
It also has all-new bearings, seals, axles, brake drums and five
new alloy wheels with Goodyear tires. The interior includes all-new
upholstery with high-back reclining seats, carpet and
weatherstripping. It features a Vintage Air heating and cooling
system, factory gauges in the dash, an Ididit tilt steering column
and a reproduction AM/FM stereo. The car has approximately 200
miles since its completion in November 2018.
