1986 Chevy Blazer | TruckU Tech Tips

[@johnthompson1978]

How can you possibly think that after market grill looks better than the original?

[@taylorh3930]

That new grille looks way better I personally would of done a billit grille. Also a ls and a 4l80e would be nice swap.

The final shot shows a totally different grill than that bare bones repop grill lol

[@officialmallcrawler]

The Blazer looks awesome after all of the upgrades.

Anyone else thing the new door panels looked like shit that the old ones need needed some tlc?

[@davidfirth9342]

I ordered them and I threw them in the trash plastic shit

[@rogerwilco71]

NICE! ...minus the new door panels and blackout chrome crap on the wheels and emblem....

[@CavanalK5]

Great job guys. Love your show and your projects. Showing your video to my wife helps me in my case to restore my ‘88 K5 lol. These things can sure add up quick on the restore but man they’re awesome trucks! Take care guys!

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I am restoring an 84 and 73 k5s... We are budget everything. Channel doesnt have alot of content but we have some.

[@channell11]

Those seats weren't in bad shape-and the vinyl would probably wear better than that velour.

[@gerardomendoza9688]

16:07 and if neighbors still keep complaining it's because there jealous LoL

[@619Pachucolove]

When they sprayed them rims, they really mess them up

[@mossyshotgun5902]

Had a 79, give anything to have one of these again👍 fixed up.

I have an 84 454 8" lift. And a 73 full removable top

[@carstrucksntrattors3070]

I would’ve want these guys doing mine

[@rickavila3659]

The old door panels looked better

[@deeplyclosetedindividual]

...and were the right color. The truck went from 'pretty original' to 'molested' throughout the course of this video...

[@rickavila3659]

I like the old door panels better

[@gregdeel1152]

I have a 1986 myself, love it, it's got a 400r with over drive can't beat it for gas mileage it gets as good as my wife's 2003 Durango 5.9 himmi

[@maddogmerv]

Looks beautiful. What is the name of those rims that are on this truck called? I have them on my blazer but one of them is missing on the rear and I need to replace it and have no idea what I see you called.

[@jovedean6112]

All it needed is a new dash. Everything else could have been cleaned up or repainted.

[@genius-no5sl]

Looks incredible

[@batleo]

Hey I looked at brothers trucks and they don’t have those rear side panels for sale?. What are they labeled as?

[@JasonSmith-yo3re]

I have an all original 86 k5 that I love. The interior is worn as it should be. The replacement parts just look cheap and flimsy. If your gonna do a interior remodel you should go with rubber flooring ridged plastic rear panels and vinyl seats. At most on the exterior replacement led lights is as far as I would go. 4" lift 35/ 12.5 / 15 on rim's with no offset. Polish the original crome and your good to go.

[@purdyboi807]

Where are the clear wind deflector glass wings on the shells sliding windows? That trim looks weird like that with those notches in it

[@henryrodriguez8802]

I have this 86 K5 Blazer 4x4 6.2 diesel, that I would like to lift it 4" so it can match the trailer I bought with it, and the reason to lift it is to match both of them in height ( truck 31" trailer 37") it's a bit noisy while driving because it's a military truck (M1009) I would like to fix to look as much as possible the original view, adding like sound proof all the way around and repaint with the very same colors, and the trailer as well, I want to do it, so in special occasions veterans can driving it, when they have special celebrations, it's a way for me to tell them, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

[@toecuttre]

Bruno's George Costanza reference was ace's!

[@mcbobly]

Love the old K-5 Blazers but on this one, should have stuck with vinyl interior or upgraded to leather, never painted the wheels or badges.

[@ahmedkarimabdelghany2309]

Where can I get the top interior emblem ( caution) for removing the top ( for 1988 ) and the interior rear panel ?

[@robertpearson3109]

Hi, my name is Bobby, I own a 1990 Fullsize blazer, On your blazer do you have the inside light on the 1/2 cap? if so, did you have to unplug it so you could remove the cap? were the wires running thru the cap? is there an access port going from the cab to the cap for the wires? Mine have been cut & removed & I need to reconnect them, can you help, please?

[@ctopher454]

There should be a square panel on the driver's side inside behind the door of the top. 4 small screws to remove the panel and you'll have access to where they should be. If they've been cut there probably down inside the metal channel at the front of the bed.

[@johnplacencia]

@TruckU what exactly is that adhesive you’re using for the weather stripping? Is it safe for any seals, like around the tailgate, etc?

[@-jason-5907]

If you think this one looks bad you should see my 86. Just did outer rocker panels today if that says anything lol

[@carlg6653]

Great job guys that truck looks awesome that's the hood I need for my truck I'm always stuck with the cheap fiberglass ones but anyways guys used take care please reply

Yeah... I liked the old tires and wheels better..

[@alexwatts2672]

Wht size lift and tires do y’all have

[@user-zh2hr4rj7i]

Old seats looked better. You ruined the authenticity of this survivor K5.

[@TwitchRadio]

Love the show guys.. Gives me tons of ideas... Anyways.. Been looking at suv's for big familys.. And of course one of the all time go to's is the chevy suburban.. Anyways.. Was looking at one but all over the internet it's always taking about the transmission problems people have had along with other stuff... Looking for upgrades to fix these problems or stuff that may make these older (1990's to 2006) models kept up longer and more miles..

[@bartgoins1782]

What's the difference between "pieces" and "parts?"

[@kcwhite9493]

Send me the old front bumper please....

[@zeoa8253]

How much did you spend

[@kevinrichards3288]

Those second generation Chevy K5 Blazers & GMC Jimmys were produced from 1973 through 1991.

[@anthonyvanpatten5471]

I have an 86 k10 suburban that i would love and plan to do it all comes down to finances having four wonderful child it is a bit difficult.

[@D4V1D_V3N0M]

Awesome video. My pops had an ‘85 K5. I just really hate the radio voice from one of the guys.

I had a 97 silverado k 2500 I love my chevy truck now I have a 2003 6.0 k2500 4x4 ls chevy silverado. it it a lot more complicated to warm on. like technical stuff it a lot of things I would love to ask you but it would take another episode lol. for starter I lift it 2 in. with a plow What is the best shocks can put the truck to carry the plow ? and I notice I have to get into it for it to goo and I notice the brake and abs lights comes on sometimes. or if you was to do an episode for that year I would love it. thanks

Wrong. I tow my v-drive to the lake, no problem

[@zagor1453]

Your guys keep saying brother truck parts but check out the LMC truck parts you can save a money way cheaper than brother parts

[@hottom3rd]

the neighbors can eff themselves.. the beginning photo truck looked fine. interiors? who needs carpets anyways LMAO rubber coat that shit seal up the cracks in the welds (if floors are replaced and fabricated) with RTV silicone caulk and you're good to go. There is something cool about the "worn" patina that comes on the truck. Not afraid to romp on it and really make her work.. IDK just my opinion. I have owned a few, currently have an 87

[@jpage6171]

I'm gonna get a K5 today dammit

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

[@purdyboi807]

With a name like _Shortcut Garage?_ Nah, no thanks...I think I'll pass. I want mine built right, no cutting corners for me

That grille is ugly. A billet grille looks 100,000 times better.

[@daltonandrew168]

Its all a matter of opinion man. I would rather leave the stock grille in their, it doesn't allow as many bugs to get to the radiator. And the more original the truck is, the more money its worth. So with that being said. The truck would hold value better with the stock grille.
