Being a K5 blazer fan forever this one is just stunning,ive owned 3 in my lifetime and even though I'm a jeep guy now I still have a special place for the K5

[@4x4by4off-roadfamily6]

Had an 85 k10 single cab, then kid 2 was born and I had to get a “family truck.” So I picked up an 89 K5. Sold it and got into Jeeps a couple years back. Found an 86 K5 nearby for a deal, now I have both Jeeps and a K5. Never stop looking. You never know.

I have a 77 Chevy cheyenne k5 blazer. Very little rust and has never been in an accident. I'm the the third owner according to my father. It is not numbers matching. Built in flint michigan for California for the year 77. Original it had 350 small block with turbo 350 trans and np203 transfer case. It now gas 383 stroker crate motor from gm performance parts, a built 700r4 transmission, and rebuilt np205 transfer case. My father is passed on now. I told him and mom I would fully restore the k5 with time. I'm honered to see such a person like u in this video giving positive support for the old k5's.

[@emonicky412]

Honestly finding perfect old classics like that is probably the hardest thing to do anymore. most have been slammed, lifted, stripped into parts or turned to something that cost so much just because of the unoriginal parts. classic cars have been slowly disappearing and it’s heart breaking to watch car by car disappear or become something that doesn’t show it’s history. honestly thank you so very much for not doing what most would do and completely making the vehicle mostly aftermarket and over priced. thank you for keeping the original look of the truck and especially the motor!

I don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful K5… really makes me miss mine… even if it was an old rust bucket with holes in the floorboard that guzzled gas faster than a Marine on Liberty guzzles alcohol.

Would’ve loved to have fixed it up by my parents scrapped it while I was in boot.

[@kiphenricksen6029]

What an amazingly solid and unbelievably solid well kept original equipment old blazer. I recently had a friend give me the identical twin to this blazer! Everthing except the choice in colors. It was still surprising to hear the list of options where identical to the one I have now. A.C., cruise control, 400small-ishblock lol, along with all power windows and stock stereo. Of course, the identical part quickly ends there, because the very northwestern tip of Washington state, is famous for its grueling wet winters around Forks Washington, plus it has miles and miles of easily accessible logging roads, gravel pits, mudholes, quad trails, power line trails, and beer serving last chance gas stations, that are not usually passed by, before a weekend hunting adventure or camping trip. This seemingly routine quickstop, for munchies and supplies, almost always gets seduced by the beer of choice impulse buy, that unfortunately spins the once bright future of a potential classic , much like the one in this video, and turns it, instead, to the one given to me three weeks ago because, his housing authority won't allow any vehicles that cannot be driven legally down the highway, nor do they wish to be able to see it from their own windows. Probably won't be seeing a person like me moving in anytime soon hahaha, I carved my initials onto the original white trash garbage can lol. It's more of a term of endearment in my area anyways haha. And no, that does NOT mean anything racial!! Absolutely not!
