  • Thanks for viewing the video of Brian's 1981 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. The vehicle restoration on this K5 Blazer truck took about 1.5 years to complete. The restoration started out as a mechanical restoration only but the customer wanted to go all the way for a full restoration. We did not pull the vehicle off the frame because it was so clean, probably one of the cleanest rust free trucks we have ever worked on. The Blazer came from Florida where the customer purchased it from the second owner and brought back to Massachusetts where he lives. The restoration consisted of installing a rebuilt transmission, 350 Chevrolet performance engine from summit racing, Holley EFI, engine bay overhaul, chrome re-plating, BFgoodrich tires, wheel restoration, interior upholstery, Full paint & body restoration products supplies by Sherwin Williams automotive, Skyjacker Suspension lift, Brush guard installation with KC daylighters, custom restored original sound system with upgraded speakers, warn locking hub conversion, frame undercoating and so much more.

    Very Cool! I used to have a '78 K5 that was the first vehicle that I ever bought. I loved that truck, right up until the 400 Small Block threw two rods. Live and learn...

    Hey Greg. That is a bad ass looking truck. Now did this cost more than buying a new truck?😊 Sometimes it is, but then it is well worth it in the end. It is a beautiful truck. I would be proud to own it myself. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

    Nice ! . I had a 77 k5 blazer 4x4 with a 400 cubic inch engine. My dad gave me as my first vehicle back in 1983. Boy was it a gas guzzler. I drove to high school during my junior and senior years. Correct me if I’m wrong but the reason they stopped making them was because of high rollover risk and the rear fiberglass roof was causing fatalities when rolling ? Because it would break and crush occupants?

    Having heartbeat of america floor mats doesn't make sense. Didn't start until 1985. I guess you could have waited until then to get them.
