"Powder Blue"

[@mustie1]

thats a great project to show on your channel,

[@kristinabrandy8173]

Shane Brandy is doing an amazing job getting this thing back together... I cant wait to see the finished product.

[@danielsweeney6742]

Going out and picking up a non- running vehicle with no winch? That is crazy!

[@AmesiesCorner]

It was a loaner trailer, Dave had gone and looked at the truck before getting it and noticed the hill that made it possible to push by 3 people.

[@jonathanmagness1231]

This is going to be a great series I can't wait to see it done

[@bubbarodge]

Definitely excited for this project

[@Davecrazyass]

[@michaeljohnson1006]

Looks like a great project all those nice new panels to work with too :-)

[@vincentbasso4903]

looking forward to future entries Nice

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice project, and a great start on it already.

[@scottyg7284]

Wow they made loading a trailer look hard!

[@delukxy]

Nice when so much work has been done and with new panels too. Nice welds. Think I'd call it "Shorty".

[@joshoneal4104]

Thats a solid base to do a restoration.

[@sail235aeh]

That will be cool !

[@alnbaba]

The previous owner put lots of money and time on that Blazer with new quarters it will be like brand new. Nice welding too.

[@jimkodysz5404]

Actually it will be better than new. I think most of those had rust on them before they left the factory! LOL

[@garbage854]

Good project :)

[@BenLeBlanc1]

That’s awesome and I’m jealous. I just picked up a squarebody project to keep me busy, but first gen k5 are too cool!

[@BRETTYZCAR]

I need a raise blaze!

[@williamisch]

wow this is a Very Nice Blazer He got the good one Lucky Love those Kind of Blazer looking forward for more videos on this :)

[@jime386]

I saw a brand new K5 do a barrel roll down a steep hill in 1974. Nobody hurt amazingly enough

[@loriencer]

Hi, thanks for your great videos. I was wondering if you can make a video of that old mercedes which is in the background? That would be awesome

[@DuallyDieselFord]

Man, that is clean compared to most of the stuff in new england

[@ClassicRideSociety]

No a.c. box cause it's a factory non ac blazer. But luckily non a.c. heater boxes are reproduced. Good thing cause factory a.c. boxes are not reproduced.

[@Marchautowerks]

Go to harbor freight a buy a cheap winch and bolt it to that trailer

[@pashok28]

Why welds not get sprayed after? Already rusty under the car

[@siemenstraffic]

I will name this Blazer to, Cabbage Patch Kid

[@charlesmiller5078]

Guessing, less labor 15,000, labor included 22,000, 2 years 3 months. Thankfully alot has been done, but alot to go. Im sure your boss will do a good job on it or , you will do a good job on it.

[@throttlebottle5906]

painful to watch the loading, garden tractor/other vehicle and tow strap/rope works well for loading. vehicle needs working brakes, steering and someone in it in case of a strap failure :) one pulley block hooked to front of trailer or up to the vehicle hitch and you can redirect the force. alternate make a bracket for winch on a "hitch extension" or the top "dual hitch extender". it will work with any trailer then :) *** if someone does this with "extensions", only put the extension on to load the trailer and remove it again before towing, it lowers the towing capacity and tongue weight the vehicle can handle by roughly 50% ***

[@djambrosia]

Was this chief Brody's truck in jaws?

[@AmesiesCorner]

It came from where jaws was filmed so it could be!

[@djambrosia]

I mean same vehicle type. Don't know much about American motors but it looks similar. What a great find.

[@DuallyDieselFord]

Brody's blazer was the next generation

[@contimusic8357]

Awesome, would you consider using my music for free? Good work!

[@11094DEREK]

Nice project is he going to keep it blue?

[@AmesiesCorner]

It will be the original factory powder blue.

[@AmesiesCorner]

I think we just named this truck.. Powder Blue.

[@11094DEREK]

NIce!

[@Gramps83]

That engine is painted Corporate blue. Late 70's engine if it's not original.

[@rustybrowneye]

It's probably for the better it fell through you wouldn't want one out of Michigan or Ohio

[@davidcorbin6489]

Keep that blazer out of the cabbage lol

[@throttlebottle5906]

yall get a big face-palm for not knowing how to use the ramps. otherwise lol

[@AmesiesCorner]

I wasn't there and it was a borrowed trailer they had never used before..

[@throttlebottle5906]

I heard you say that, but figured maybe the folks in the video would watch and get my sarcasm :)) at least it didn't rip the ramp holder off the trailer, most are not built very stout, since they're only meant to hold the ramps.
