Vehicle Description
This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is serious. Seriously powerful,
seriously capable, and seriously good looking. You can drive it
uptown where it will turn heads or drive it out into the middle of
nowhere to clear your own. Read through the basics presented here,
then come on down to get the rest of the story and check it out for
yourself.
Describing this truck from the top down seems like describing the
icing on a cake first. It has received an extensive restoration,
with great stuff on the inside, but the icing is what you see
first. So... how about that slick two-tone paint? It seems to be
saying go big or go home as it flows up and over the cowl hood and
highlights the body crease that is at eye level now because of the
lift kit. Everything is new from the bumpers, grille, and trim, to
the glass and the mirrors. The paint-matched removable hardtop
makes for some nice open air 4-wheeling while keeping any water
from rain or splashing through the creeks from getting the driver
and passenger wet. Shiny step bars match the Pacer wheels, and the
lift gives the whole truck an even more aggressive look, as if it
needed any help in that department.
The handsome blue cloth interior is also in excellent condition,
offering new seat covers, carpet, door panels, and a dash pad you
could eat off. The original gauges are in the dash surrounded by a
new bezel, because this truck hasn't been extensively altered from
original spec inside, still sporting the original steering wheel,
and a long list of factory options like power windows and locks, a
tilt wheel, a center console, and cold A/C make this Blazer as much
luxury vehicle as trail-blazer, and if you really want to attract
attention, try making this your daily driver! An updated Sony
AM/FM/CD stereo was installed, so no worries there if you like to
blast tunes. Full-sized Blazers also give you a massive cargo area
that's fully upholstered and offers enough room for all your gear
on a weekend getaway.
There's still a small block Chevy under the hood, but this one is
fortified with a Vortec 350 fed through a Holley 4-barrel carb. It
looks quite stock and as many OEM parts as possible were retained,
including the serpentine accessory drive, air cleaner, and exhaust
manifolds. The A/C system has been converted to R134a refrigerant
and it fills the cab with cold, fresh air. There's a 700R4 4-speed
automatic transmission driving a two-speed transfer case, so it's
equally at home on the highway or in the dirt, and a hearty rumble
bellows from the Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The suspension has
been set up to accommodate the large lift, and the Blazer sits on
massive Pro Comp all-terrain tires wrapped around 15-inch chrome
Pacer wheels.
Seriously powerful, capable, and good looking. Come on down and
check this truck out. This one could be yours. Seriously.
