Vehicle Description
This immaculate K5 Blazer Resto-Mod sold new in Las Cruces, NM.
There are over 1,200 hours in this complete frame-off build. The
rock-solid body retains 95% of its original sheet metal that was
completely stripped, top to bottom. The underside was epoxy-primed
and coated with U-POL Raptor protective coating for chip and sound
control. Dynamat installation on the floor and firewall provides
additional sound control. All the metal was epoxy-primed and
finished with Dupont base coat/clear coat. The frame, radiator
support, inner fenders, original skid plates and fuel tank cover
are all powder-coated. It's powered by an LS3 430hp engine with a
GM Connect-and-Cruise 4L70E automatic overdrive transmission, mated
to the original NP-205 transfer case. The engine is cooled by a
DeWitt aluminum radiator. The transmission includes an auxiliary
cooler with flexible stainless-steel lines. The front and rear
axles are upgraded with new Eaton posi-traction units, bearings and
seals, aluminum differential covers and stainless-steel brake
lines. Five new alloy wheels with Goodyear tires complete the ride.
The interior includes all-new upholstery, carpet and
weatherstripping. The comfort is handled by a Vintage Air and
heating system. The dashboard features factory gauges, factory tilt
wheel and a reproduction AM/FM stereo. The Protect-O-Plate
documents the original sale. Also included is a photo album showing
the original condition at purchase in July 2015 and demonstrating
the build process. It has less than 200 miles since completion in
December 2016. This ride is finished for show and built to drive.
