ANYONE THAT'S RESORTED A VEHICLE AND MAKES THE UNDER SIDE LOOK THAT GOOD. KNOWS IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND WORK. GREAT JOB!!! I HAVE OCD BIG TIME , THAT'S BEAUTIFUL MAN.
This is an incredible truck I have the same year that I dream of making it as beautiful as this one. I'm glad you did all of this work and put it out for the world to see. There is not enough of these vehicles left on the road anymore.
Nice work, thank you. Enjoy. I had a 1976 K5 Blazer in college. Wish I still had it. Had kids and needed a different vehicle. Hope I can have another one later in life. Let me know if you ever want to sell this beautiful truck. It’s been many years since school and I can afford one now. Nice video, thanks again.
Great video and awesome work on your K5! I recently purchased a 1984 K5 with intent of making it a river truck but then decided it is in to good of condition and needs to become a summer rig for me and my kids to enjoy. I have been looking at LMC Truck and videos like yours and decided I could have a really nice rig with a lot of money and some hard work. I love the sun roof addition and moving the stereo. I think I might do the same.
GunDoc thank you for your positive comments. Good luck with your blazer try and have fun when you’re doing it and don’t forget to post a video when it’s complete would love to see it.thanks
Beautiful job, love it! Had a 91 Blazer for many many years. Only thing i can say is get a trans temp gauge and an aux cooler. Other than that your truck is 100%. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more vids of it soon.
I have a lifted 97 suburban with mud tires and it doesnt see any mud or dirt. Some dude asked me if I go take it offroad, I told him no he asked "why have it lifted with huge tires then?" I saw he was pretty outta shape with running shoes on so I asked him "why wear athletic gear if you dont work out?" And hopped in the whip and left. Lol
The quad front shock set up seems to be pretty rare. I looked at about 15 k5s before buying mine and the only one I saw was on a 88 k5 that was beat to hell and only had a tbi305. Damn nice truck you've got
Nice job great rig, i just bought one its gonna be here friday no rust but a little rough needing some love for sure but solid. Im gonna post it on my channel saturday
Nice rig.,,.But up here in Colorado the de-icer and road salt will rust anything made of metal to dust.lol. Trust me I fight the rust bugs everyday. I currently own a 1987 K5 custom as well.
I am absolutely speechless. Great job my friend this rig is flawless. K5 blazer is my dream vehicle and I just finally picked one up 2 weeks ago so I just got started on my build! I’ll deffibetly be checking out that site and I’m from Maine so I’m gonna be cracking down on my frame soon. Looking into installing a 6 inch lift but I wanna go higher just worried about the hassle from cops. What’s he measurement to your door handles with the 12 inch lift?
Mohammed Al-Hawaj thanks for the comment I appreciate it.i wanted to customize this a bit. I also have a 1985 k10 pickup bone stock in mint condition but I won't touch it I like it stock
Nice truck, I also thought about using the 90s GMC grille on a Chevy but haven't done it yet. Do you still have part numbers of the GTS light covers? Or the shop where you bought them?
Did you take it apart to strip and undercoat the chassis or did you do it altogether. Also did you spray or paintbrush the undercoater and paint the chassis
Well son of a mother biscuit eating bull dog. That is one sexy piece of pavement pusher. Defiantly wouldn't go off road without upgrading those axles/ gearing. Other than that I mean dang. Hopefully gonna be gettin an 85' K5. Got an 84' K10 right now. Yeah... Looks good.
Ashton Williams it has 4:11 gears but axels are stock. Did plenty of off-roading when I was younger so this one is strictly for the road.thanks for the comment.
Very nice looking blazer but was wondering if you knew there was a difference between the true k5 blazers and a full size blazer. The true k5's have a more narrow frame width and the full size models have sliding glass in the shell. Just a FYI.
I got a couple of questions for you. #1 what is the hight of your truck minus the light bar. I love the look but am concerned I won't be able to park it in my garage at work (I just bought a 1990 and it is stock) #2 did you consider changing out the rear to a newer year axel that already had disc brakes and overall how is the pad wear on the ones you installed.
Hey Thomas thanks for your inquiry. To answer your questions the truck is around 8 1/2 feet tall without the light bar and I didn’t consider a newer axel because the conversion kit was only a couple hundred dollars and I’m not sure a newer axel would fit my truck.thanks hope this helps and good luck with your truck
Very nice How much did you originally pay for it, I did the same with my 89 K5 I hot sprayed clean underneath. After it dried up Eastwood metal prep and Waxoyl coating s. It only had a dim size rust spot other than that everything was solid. It’s not finished yet was thinking of selling it. Had it 12 years. Nice video
*SPEAKING ABOUT LMC, THE ISSUES w/SOME OF THERE PRODUCTS IS THAT THEY ARE AFTERMARKET & NOT THE SAME MATERIALS, QUALITY& SO ON.* I am speaking from direct experience w/them & their products, meaning I have even had pics of my custom street rod p/u in their catalog. An example is their sheet metal products are made of a cheaper metal first off & the thickness of the metal is slightly thinner, this is how their products are much cheaper than any other companies product. I'm not trying to completely bash LMC, they have some of the best customer service & their catalogs are expertly put together. There are times you can't locate factory parts & you have to purchase LMC's less then factory perfect products & I am not saying all of their products are this way, but I just wish this info was told to there customers before making these purchases. My truck was a 74 Chevy step side w/suicide doors & the rear window I replaced w/a electric rear window from a full-size blazer & the dash was from a 52 Chevy truck... let's not forget the 350 Edelbrock intake/carb & comp cam. You have an amazingly beautiful blazer sir, real car ppl can tell when a vehicle was built by someone w/knowledge & love for vehicles.....this is what I see w/you & your bad ass Blazer!!!!!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it. Installation wasn’t bad at all and I hate wiring anything. Light bar was about 40 bucks and lights I believe were around 20 bucks apiece.If you’re thinking about installing a light bar do yourself a favor though and use LEDs these lights are nice looking but are not bright at all.
Hey I have an 81 blazer and am looking to do some similar work to it like you have done, do you have an estimate for the cost you put into the undercarriage of the truck?
Benze I have an '81 Blazer too. I had the original 305 swapped with a re-manufactured 350, transmission rebuilt, new exhaust, everything else is mostly cosmetic, rust repair and all. But now I have had the steering box replaced twice, the second time by Goodyear. They told me everything is now aligned and tightened, but it's still way too loose. Does yours steer okay? I am considering replacing the steering column because it's very difficult to keep it in my lane.
I can appreciate a person who takes their time & gets the job done right. Nice rig.
Wilks Million Thanks. I appreciate that. And yes I agree with you if you're gonna take the time at least take the time and do it right.Take care
ANYONE THAT'S RESORTED A VEHICLE AND MAKES THE UNDER SIDE LOOK THAT GOOD. KNOWS IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND WORK. GREAT JOB!!! I HAVE OCD BIG TIME , THAT'S BEAUTIFUL MAN.
They are truck art 🖼 they are rugged but stylish. At that they are convertibles. Epic !
This is an incredible truck I have the same year that I dream of making it as beautiful as this one. I'm glad you did all of this work and put it out for the world to see. There is not enough of these vehicles left on the road anymore.
Hayden vance I agree that's exactly why I posted this video I wish others will do the same.i hope you do when your done with yours.
Too nice to off-road, a lot of work, beautiful truck.
Good luck with the factory 10 bolt. Have fun changing U-joints with those pinion angles
You sure did a nice job. I appreciate all that work put in on her. What a classic!
That's a badass K5. Nice job
Thanks brother I appreciate it
Brother, that is a absolutely gorgeous truck! You did an incredible job. Wow!!!!
That is the most beautiful blazer I have seen in a long time! 😍
Nice work, thank you. Enjoy. I had a 1976 K5 Blazer in college. Wish I still had it. Had kids and needed a different vehicle. Hope I can have another one later in life. Let me know if you ever want to sell this beautiful truck. It’s been many years since school and I can afford one now. Nice video, thanks again.
Eric Meuser Thanks for your comments much appreciated. Good luck finding another K5.
Not exactly how i would set it up but tons of respect for this thing! Great to see something done right once and awhile!
Belvidere Mud Boyz thanks.I appreciate the positive feedback
Nice job man! I love these old Blazers!

ALL 4 FUN thank you,I appreciate the positive comment
Great video and awesome work on your K5!

GunDoc thank you for your positive comments. Good luck with your blazer try and have fun when you’re doing it and don’t forget to post a video
when it’s complete would love to see it.thanks
Beautiful job, love it! Had a 91 Blazer for many many years. Only thing i can say is get a trans temp gauge and an aux cooler. Other than that your truck is 100%. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more vids of it soon.
Thanks.much appreciated
You have a beautiful truck! I hope to get mine in the same condition as yours. Keep up the good work!
Awesome truck!! Great video too.

I have been wanting to restore one for myself, awsome truck.
Samuel Cortez thanks man. you have to do one and post a video
dude awesome blazer. you put a lot of hard work into that I couldn't even imagine. for real you worked hard. that blazer is amazing. like for sure.
Thanks man I really appreciate it. And yes a lot of hard work went into that truck but I enjoy it very much and it was worth all my time and effort.
Perfect truck, could you please share with us the link of the spare parts store you dealt with to renew the truck
👍
Has KC lights lift kit and Boggers, says he won't go through mud😂😂😂
I know it’s sad but true. LOL
With all the work that he put into it I don't blame him.
I have a lifted 97 suburban with mud tires and it doesnt see any mud or dirt. Some dude asked me if I go take it offroad, I told him no he asked "why have it lifted with huge tires then?" I saw he was pretty outta shape with running shoes on so I asked him "why wear athletic gear if you dont work out?" And hopped in the whip and left. Lol
Moral of the story, what I eat won't make you shit. Stop worrying bout other people!
Nice job sir, awesome truck
Love the mods and upgrades!
Thanks. Much appreciated
Very nice. Love to have one. Good job pal! 👍
Beautiful truck man
A TRUE MASTERPIECE....
Thanks
Rear shackle flip would have helped with the pinion angle
The quad front shock set up seems to be pretty rare. I looked at about 15 k5s before buying mine and the only one I saw was on a 88 k5 that was beat to hell and only had a tbi305. Damn nice truck you've got
una Belleza por donde la mires mucha dedicacion por tu blazer k5

Looks awsome
Thank you for your comment and thank you for viewing
Usa1 makes the doorpanels with the velour and very nice, i put them in mine. The price hurt a bit tho
I am absolutely speechless. Great job my friend this rig is flawless. K5 blazer is my dream vehicle and I just finally picked one up 2 weeks ago so I just got started on my build!

Awesome job, beautiful. Coming from a anti gm guy. Love it. I wanted to hear it. Square body love.
Realy nice bro
1/2 ton 10 bolt axles with big tires. Cool for the mall I guess.
Yup my muddin days r over!lol
Perfect! I want it.
Great job! I have same truck. 😁
Did you do anything with the unconvenient gloves compartment?
nice work man. i have same model 1990 stock
Mohammed Al-Hawaj thanks for the comment I appreciate it.i wanted to customize this a bit. I also have a 1985 k10 pickup bone stock in mint condition but I won't touch it I like it stock
looks good man you need to throw some wheel spacers on it and stick those tire out a lil bit
Did this truck come with the axles under the leafs? Or was that part of the lift?
Nice pavement princess, looks like what would have been done back then, to cruise around in, not wheel at all
Very nice example.
Thank you I appreciate that
Gotta get them driveline angles straightened out man. Nice rig
Beautiful Bowtie !
LOL.My wife would disagree
Beautiful
Nice truck, I also thought about using the 90s GMC grille on a Chevy but haven't done it yet. Do you still have part numbers of the GTS light covers? Or the shop where you bought them?
Nice blazer! Wish i could have heard the startup, and that faceplate off of LMC? I was looking at it and i like it a whole lot
Sweet rig
Gabriel:710 thanks
nice Blazer but you didn't start it up for us. would have been nice to hear it run
dam very nice k5
Sergio sergios thanks much appreciated.
Did you take it apart to strip and undercoat the chassis or did you do it altogether. Also did you spray or paintbrush the undercoater and paint the chassis
To nice to take out an play
I really want one for 4 wealing but that's a nice blazer
Nice mall crawler. How does it handle going over a wheel stop in the parking lot?
Wow niceeee
gmc grill ( professional grade ! )
Nice work
Phillip Filides Thanks buddy I appreciate it
Nicky done man.
Great job! Where can I get the body mount kit from? I have an '89
Daniel Turner LMC truck they have everything you need
Well son of a mother biscuit eating bull dog. That is one sexy piece of pavement pusher. Defiantly wouldn't go off road without upgrading those axles/ gearing. Other than that I mean dang. Hopefully gonna be gettin an 85' K5. Got an 84' K10 right now. Yeah... Looks good.
Ashton Williams it has 4:11 gears but axels are stock. Did plenty of off-roading when I was younger so this one is strictly for the road.thanks for the comment.
Great job
Thanks. I appreciate that
Nice looking Blazer man .! Where is it now?
Very nice looking blazer but was wondering if you knew there was a difference between the true k5 blazers and a full size blazer. The true k5's have a more narrow frame width and the full size models have sliding glass in the shell. Just a FYI.
Wrong!
How much was it to buy and complete the truck??? Id love to do this but money is the only problem.
I got a couple of questions for you. #1 what is the hight of your truck minus the light bar. I love the look but am concerned I won't be able to park it in my garage at work (I just bought a 1990 and it is stock) #2 did you consider changing out the rear to a newer year axel that already had disc brakes and overall how is the pad wear on the ones you installed.

Pad wear is average
Very nice How much did you originally pay for it, I did the same with my 89 K5 I hot sprayed clean underneath. After it dried up Eastwood metal prep and Waxoyl coating s. It only had a dim size rust spot other than that everything was solid. It’s not finished yet was thinking of selling it. Had it 12 years. Nice video
I originally paid $4200 for the truck. Thanks for the comment much appreciate
1 ton axles? If not 1 ton axles how does the half ton axles do with the 39 inch tires?
*SPEAKING ABOUT LMC, THE ISSUES w/SOME OF THERE PRODUCTS IS THAT THEY ARE AFTERMARKET & NOT THE SAME MATERIALS, QUALITY& SO ON.* I am speaking from direct experience w/them & their products, meaning I have even had pics of my custom street rod p/u in their catalog.

Do you have a parts list for this build? Mine is in need of some major love, just wondering if you can give me some sort of idea what I'm in for.
What size lift and tires
Beautiful Truck , do you still have it ? Any updates on it
Xplosive Thanks for the comment and yes I still have it I just wish I had more time to drive it. LOL
Is this a special order truck,cause yeah it's got options on it...
Nice k5 how much you spend in the paint job?
$500 on paint and I painted it myself.
Where did you get the steering stabilizers and how hard were they to install?
Hayden vance superlift.com and it was easy to install
Downwithcivilrights awesome thanks
Hay man nice K5, I have a question about you over head light rack, what did you experience installing and pricing? thanx man
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it. Installation wasn’t bad at all and I hate wiring anything. Light bar was about 40 bucks and lights I believe were around 20 bucks apiece.If you’re thinking about installing a light bar do yourself a favor though and use LEDs these lights are nice looking but are not bright at all.
Where did you get the door panels >

Hey I have an 81 blazer and am looking to do some similar work to it like you have done, do you have an estimate for the cost you put into the undercarriage of the truck?
The cost to redo the undercarriage was just under $200. It was the amount of time it took to prep it that was the killer. Good luck to you though
Benze I have an '81 Blazer too. I had the original 305 swapped with a re-manufactured 350, transmission rebuilt, new exhaust, everything else is mostly cosmetic, rust repair and all. But now I have had the steering box replaced twice, the second time by Goodyear. They told me everything is now aligned and tightened, but it's still way too loose. Does yours steer okay?
