Vehicle Description
Jeep invented the personal 4x4, Ford made it popular, and trucks
like this 1979 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4X4 perfected the breed.
Blending just the right amount of go-anywhere truck durability with
creature comforts and practicality, the Blazer was a mainstay of
popular automotive culture for decades, and few are better suited
to that legacy than this beautiful 4x4.
The fantastic metallic Brown and White paint and looks great on the
Blazer's squared-off body lines. There is plenty of Chevy pickup
truck DNA in there, but who can argue with the result when it looks
this good? The proportions are ideal for a big yet personal SUV,
and with the removable hardtop, it is fairly easy to transform it
into a fun-in-the-sun machine for a day at the beach. The handsome
factory grille and chrome front bumper, two-tone Brown and White
paint, and a shiny rear bumper add just enough sparkle to make this
truck look dressed up anywhere it goes. Whether on the trail or at
the car show, this Blazer turns heads.
Twin bucket seats with brown seat covers, tan carpets, and
Cheyenne-spec door panels anchor a stylish and functional interior
that proves how well-cared for this SUV has always been. Today, we
might find the inside of the Blazer absurdly spacious, but that's
the great thing about old vehicles like this, particularly when
they are also practical and functional. The rear bench seat makes
this a comfortable 5-passenger vehicle that will truly go almost
anywhere. By 1979, the Blazer was getting more luxurious, and it
felt great to settle behind the big 2-spoke wheel for a long cruise
or a crawl down your favorite trail. An upgraded Pioneer AM/FM/CD
radio is in the dash linked to JVC speakers for listing pleasure.
Other amenities include factory air conditioning, tilt steering
column, power steering, and power front disc brakes. Open the
tailgate, and even with the back seat in place, there is still
plenty of cargo space for just about anything you will need. The
rear seat is easily removed to utilize the same sized bed as a
short-bed pickup.
The 350 cubic inch TBI V8 with Holley Sniper fuel injection is the
perfect companion for going somewhere remote. The engine features
an Edelbrock intake manifold, chrome alternator, chrome finned
valve covers, K&N air cleaner, and headers. It runs superbly,
starting quickly and idling with a muscular rumble from the
upgraded dual exhaust system with throaty-sounding Magnaflow
mufflers. It is backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission
with a 2-speed transfer case that feeds power to the axles at both
ends. Even at the stock ride height, it'll climb over big obstacles
and strong shocks and leaf springs keep it from being too rough a
ride. Factory Rally wheels are in great shape and carry
33x12.50R15LT BF Goodrich All-Terrian white-letter radials that
complete the go-anywhere look.
