Description

1972 Chevy K5 Blazer – While Jeep, International, and Ford had been making small off-road-oriented but decidedly on-road used multi-purpose vehicles, it was GM who super-sized them to the half-ton pickup platform. Essentially a K-10 pickup with a very short integral box as part of the interior, the K-5 Blazer pioneered the pickup-based SUV. While retaining the stock pickup doors, the standard top was made out of fiberglass and could be unbolted. The Blazer was also available without a top or with a vinyl soft top, but the hard top was by far the most popular choice. All Blazers had a tailgate/lift gate configuration in the back. Both model range and powertrain availability also mirrored the half-ton pickups.

Ths amazing Blazer came to us via a small local collection of very nice classics. We’ve have actually been doing deals with the previous owner for over 20 years and he always builds great classics with a very open checkbook. This stunning Blazer was one of a few SUVs he built for his wife but due to an upcoming move, they have decided to “thin the heard.” The opportunity offered today is for a very nicely built K5 Blazer that was over 5 years in the making. As you will see in the photos this is a very tasteful, frame-off build with minor upgrades to set it apart from the crowd. You will notice the fenders are flared and the addition of a custom rollbar and soft top. A shaved firewall, tucked/color-matched bumpers, and blacked-out grille & mirrors finish off the look. The drivetrain features a Dickey Scoggins built 502 with 502hp along with a custom-built transmission and axles. Additional features and options include; Black TMI Leather Buckets, Vintage Air, 4×4, Center Console Storage, Cloth Floormats, Nerf Bars, Power Steering & Brakes, Retro AM/FM Radio, Tilt Steering, 20″ Fuel Alloy Wheels, and Toyo Open Country 35 x 12.5 Tires! Needless to say, but this build cost the owner much more than the asking price. The cliche, “One man’s loss is another man’s gain” definitely applies here.
