Vehicle Description
This no-expense-spared custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the
product of over 1,500 hours invested in a complete frame-off build.
It is powered by a new GM LS3 430hp engine paired with a 4L75E
automatic overdrive transmission and the original NP205 transfer
case. Upgrades include New Old Stock (NOS) front and rear axles
with 4.11 gears, and a stainless-steel exhaust system. This Blazer
is also equipped with polished headers, a Holley Sniper intake and
a polished front-runner system by Vintage Air. The engine is cooled
by a DeWitt aluminum radiator. The fuel tank is stainless steel
from Rick's Hot Rods and includes a new, original GM fuel pump.
This custom rides on a 4-inch lift kit, complete with Fox shocks
and all-new leaf springs, with 11 leaves per spring for a softer
ride. The 315/70R17 Goodyear tires mounted on Mickey Thompson
wheels connect the power to the ground. Braking is handled by a
Hydrovac brake booster system. Upgrades include a powder-coated
custom steel rollbar with shoulder harness seat belts, and a
removable hardtop for an all-season ride. The body was stripped top
to bottom and all metalwork was completed and epoxy-primed, with
U-Pol Raptor protective coating applied to the floor. The entire
body is finished with AXALTA urethane paint. The frame, radiator
support, inner fenders and axles are finished with a powder coat.
For safety, LED headlights and taillights were installed. Power
steps have also been installed to assist entry and exit. The
interior features all-new upholstery, carpet and weatherstripping,
Dynamat insulation and a Vintage Air system. The dashboard includes
a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster and an upgraded Bluetooth
flatscreen AM/FM stereo. The driver's seat was moved back 3 inches
for legroom and includes an Ididit tilt steering column. It has
approximately 300 miles since its completion in June 2023.
