This 1971 K5 Blazer started out as a four wheel drive and spent it's life in Colorado Springs. The blazer has been parked in a dry area since 1997 due to engine noise. We found this incredible clean K5 by accident and brought it back to Mansfield, Ohio and changed it up. My whole mindset was to build a practical everyday driver with all the modern necessities. This truck runs and drives like a new one while retaining the old truck look and characteristics. I put a little over 10,000 miles on it this truck this summer and 6,000 of them included a round trip to Mount Rushmore, Washington State, up Pikes Peak to Charlotte, NC for the Goodguys Show! I would not be afraid to drive this truck anywhere and I encourage the buyer to fly in and drive this truck home!

NOTE: There is over $39,000 in parts alone. I will not give this truck away - I don't need the money! This truck is listed with the intentions of selling this truck to someone that knows and understands the caliber of a pro-built vehicle. This is not your clunky, lowered on stock suspension with cut coils kind of truck. Special attention was paid to the placement of the front cross member to insure wheel alignment in front fender.


Body:


This Blazer was incredibly clean! I included one before picture (#14) and can send other by request.
I raised the rear wheel wells 3.5 inches and kicked up the floor under the back seat to fit the frame C-notch
85% of the paint is how we brought the truck back from Colorado, the other 15% is from touch up after the modifications ... "Amazing what a Buffer can do!"
