Vehicle Description
1986 Chevrolet Blazer K5 - California 4x4 - LS 5.3L V8 - 4L80
Automatic Transmission - Digital Dash - 35 Inch BFG's - 348 Miles
Since Engine Swap Having perpetual appeal due to their beefy and
boxy look, the second generation of General Motor's K5 Blazers
retain all the muscular stance and grit that they were produced
with. With production starting in 1973 and running until 1991,
these full-size trucks are a staple among the 4x4 community.
Updates and a complete redesign started with the 1973 model year
and included four-wheel drive, removable convertible tops/half-cab
configurations, and a new grille fascia to name a few. The biggest
difference was the changeover of the usual C/K designation to R and
V for the 1987 through 1991 model years; this was to avoid
confusion with the Chevrolet C/K pickup truck line that was
introduced in 1988. The Blazer vehicle and name was originally
designed and marketed to compete with the International Harvester
Scout and the Ford Bronco. All these trucks aimed to outsell the
short Jeep CJ series, which were much smaller than their
competitors. For the first time, the creation of the Blazer married
the off-road capabilities of the Scout with the luxury features
like air conditioning and automatic transmission routinely
available on pickup trucks. Shortly after its initially debut, the
Blazer was already outselling any of its rivals from Ford, Dodge
and even Jeep. Presented here is a bright blue, 1986 K5 Blazer that
originally came from California. Although this truck retains all
the physical features that this generation of Blazers is known for,
it also contains many perks that any driver will appreciate.
Operated by an LS 5.3L V8 and 4L80 automatic transmission, this
truck has more than ample power to get down any roadway or tackle
any trail. Standing tall on 35-inch BFG tires with chrome wheels,
the stance and brawny physical appearance of this Blazer is hard to
ignore. Inside the cab is room for 5 with front buckets and a rear
bench. Interior floor carpeting runs from front to back and does
have stains and spotting. The previous owner has updated to a
digital dash as well as the stereo from factory. There are markings
and scarring throughout the interior on door panels, arm rest
panels and the dash. The steering wheel has also been updated with
an aftermarket wheel that has a chrome center. With only 348 miles
since the engine swap, this Blazer has tons of adventure left to
explore. The larger-than-life stature and 4x4 capability of this
truck make it quite desirable among hearty collectors and genuine
enthusiasts alike. We hope that you consider this Blazer for your
next purchase. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific
questions. Thank you for looking.
