Vehicle Description
It's got the rugged good looks of a classic SUV, but with a strong
running condition you don't often find in its counterparts of the
era. Piloting this 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4x4 is no "cross your
fingers and hope for the best" exercise - it's very much ready to
drive - and with its powertrain faithfully replaced with a
Goodwrench 350 V8, combining with 4-wheel drive surefootedness,
this is one seriously versatile ride.
The K5 Blazers are a sturdy looking bunch. Broad and brawny, it has
a killer stance and has generously sized wheel wells capable of
accommodating the 33-inch thick rubber with plenty of clearance;
this K5 is more than a mere grocery-getter. And although this '84
is plenty well-suited for everyday driving conditions, it'll easily
thrive in rugged territory as well. Resprayed to a high-end driver
quality, it's looking great in its slick black paint, matched by
the removable black top and patented center grille strip. Big,
bright bumpers sit both fore and aft, with the former accented by a
lower chin spoiler, and the combination of shiny brightwork and
blacked-out trim throughout the Blazer gives it a tough, custom
look. Befitting of showing-off on both the trail and the blacktop.
The removable hard top is a great feature - sitting in place, its
clean condition and shiny black color really add to this Blazer's
crisp appearance, while removing it adds another dimension -
converting this versatile vehicle into a semi open-air all-terrain
cruiser.
The interior is in great condition while retaining a sort of
spartan quality that's very much in keeping with this sturdy SUV's
identity. You won't find too many overbearing aftermarket touches
on display, but the elements inside have received enough recent
attention to freshen the entire cabin. Both the front buckets and
rear bench seat looks fresh and have plenty of miles left in them
and have retained their shapes well to provide plenty of comfort on
the road, and a nicely sized center console sits up front to offer
plenty of interior storage space. The dash pad and gauge panel look
new, as does the full-length carpet, and in keeping with the
highline Silverado trim option, power windows and power locks are
welcome as is the R134a A/C although the compressor does need
servicing. You'll find an aftermarket steering wheel at the head of
the driver's control, while just beyond it the dash area also
retains its factory condition and displays a set of clear gauges in
its instrument cluster. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD/AUX player powers
the upgraded speakers inside the cabin, and the rear storage area
is so neatly presented and has so much space, you'll be dying to
pack up this Blazer and take it cross-country.
With a Goodwrench 350 V8 crate motor sitting under the hood, this
truck has plenty of power to handle whatever comes its way. Built
with the open road in mind, the engine is running strong and smooth
and pairs with a 4-speed automatic 700R4 transmission to make up a
very capable drivetrain. A stock ignition system cranks the K5 with
ease, spinning the stock belt system and emitting a throaty rumble
flowing from the longtube headers that feed the dual exhaust system
below. While engaging 4-wheel drive in so many vintage trucks is
often a laborious process, here the feature is in good form - with
a flick of the lever sitting within easy reach, it engages
seamlessly for those times when the terrain beyond the asphalt
beckons. Yet with power steering and power front disc brakes on
board, this classic Chevy also has the road manner suited for
everyday driving. Bring it up to cruising speed, then step down on
the brake pedal and it tracks straight ahead on its new 15" alloy
wheels wrapped with 33x12.5x15 all-terrain radials.
Fully sorted and built with an eye toward both style and function,
this 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Silverado is truly a vehicle for all
seasons. Call today!
