This custom 1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer received a frame-off
nut-and-bolt restoration and customization. It is powered by a GM
Connect & Cruise 6.2-liter LS3 engine utilizing a 4L70E
transmission. A Holley mid-mount system was used for accessories on
the LS3 engine, while a DeWitts radiator with dual electric fans
provides the cooling. The original NP205 transfer case was rebuilt
and reused, and power to the rebuilt axles runs through Tom Wood's
driveshafts. Getting that power to the road are 31-inch Goodyear
Wrangler Duratrac tires wrapped around original steel wheels with
chrome-plated and painted dog-dish hubcaps. The original front
wheel hubs were replaced with WARN hubs. The K5 is equipped with a
2.5-inch stainless-steel exhaust system with Borla mufflers. A
stainless-steel gas tank by Rick's Tanks provides the fuel storage.
CPP provided the tilt column and is connected to a Steerco-built
power steering box to provide a new-car steering feel. A power
boost coupled with a Wilwood master cylinder provides stopping
power to the 4-wheel power disc brakes. New leaf springs from
Michigan Spring provide the K5 with its stock stance, all with new
bolts and bushings. The body was completely stripped, and the body
was painted in Hugger Orange and white. The interior was shot with
LizardSkin ceramic and thermal coating, and an additional sound mat
was installed before the carpet. The original sill plates, as well
as rear and front carpet rails, were rechromed and reused. All-new
Dakota Digital gauges were installed and communicate directly with
the LS3 ECU. A Vintage Air system provides heating and cooling for
the passengers. Seat frames were sandblasted, painted and
re-covered in a black and white Highlander design. Classic Radio
provides a modern sound system with four speakers and an amplifier.
