GM really screwed up with the New Blazer man. These things will just continue to increase in value

[@izom]

the blazer looks like any other japanese crap- a shame....thers only the tahoe and suburban- and they get crazy expensive !? :- ()

[@pablocruise678]

They are as are Broncos

[@ZAKU-GD]

yesss show more custom trucks too pls LOVE THIS CONTENT!!

[@Roberto-gp3yx]

Car culture at its finest!!… your channel is amazing and never disappoints, it has a balance mix of all types of custom vehicles and that’s the beauty of the custom cars world

[@forakermm]

I had a K5 and cried when we had to sell it. I drove it everywhere and even during my first pregnancy. I f*ing miss that beast.

[@scarlettkimberlyann5387]

That is exactly why I will never sell mine never for sale lol

Wow what a nice blazer. So sweet. Please keep showing vehicles like this.

[@AutotopiaLA]

We’ll show more for sure!

[@jameshutchins3396]

Every sense those came out, any time the top was off you got attention. Glad to hear that has not changed

[@GLC-1979]

I want to see the full video of that Black GMC at the end...whoa, that's a sick truck.

[@rackemwells]

This seems built perfectly for cruising Cali. Loud and obnoxious, I’m sure it has tons of torque, but it seems to be pretty mild overall. It’s a low’n slow lifted version.

[@thekid1924]

Well said! But I've got a 502 in a 1985 dually and I can blow the duallys off. It really sounds like he's not even half throttle in the video. I bet he needs to check his throttle cable

[@csr801996]

@@thekid1924 I bet the truck doesn't have the proper gears for the tire size it has

[@baldegl4422]

I know the dude that built this thing! I knew him back in 2011 when he was fixing up cars. He had a baja style nissan titan, 'TIT' on the back! Glad you are doing what you love man!

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

That thing is SOOO right. All the killer fab work & detail. Slope of cage 💪. This dude is on point like a sniper!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Steven and his crew build killer rides and this is a 10 year old build for him. He was only 20 when he built this!!

[@1godgodgodgodgod]

that last silverado though!!!!

[@pablocruise678]

The fact he was able to buy it back!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

So cool and drives it all the time

[@christophwilhelm6431]

Love the way it sits and the cage is dope.

[@Modestmillionaire]

You never see these anymore much less the GMC version.

[@MsPtolomy]

I've got serious truck envy :)

[@ssnova3210]

Such a cool build. Perfect for cruising the beaches. I would just slightly change the stance so that it doesn't look higher at the front, but is flat.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s a perfect beach cruiser for sure

[@JaredR1996]

Wow 👀😍

[@citygirl713]

Freaking beautiful 😍

[@brandonknight7240]

Nope

[@kylebaum750]

7:16 bro moment

[@be6322]

Maybe some 4.56 or 4.88s would help turn em loose??? Nice rig for sure!

[@abedanielspictures]

Gotta love the GMC versions of Chevys. GMC should have made a Camero.

[@michaelrascon1604]

They did make the GMC Sprint with is a GMC version of a El Camino

[@abedanielspictures]

The GMC versions were made of heavy duty parts, only reason I remarked about a Camero. And I know they never made a car, I said they should have made, as in wouldn't that have been cool.

[@abedanielspictures]

Your Name So you don't think that a GMC version of a Camero might have been cool? Or you just want to rip on me for suggesting that.

[@HarryCHAMBZ]

@@abedanielspictures I think it's a cool thought.

Nice truck, sounds like he needs a gear swap, that big block was lugging hard with those 37 in bad boys

Right there with you man about falling in love with other people's shit. I want a K5 a 65 Bronco a 66 Mustang and the list goes on. In the meantime I'll keep driving my little S10. Great video. Cool truck.

[@32phoenixx]

Awesome! But the 502 can't turn those 37's? Something 's missing.

[@AutotopiaLA]

He needs a lower gear. Turbo 350 ain’t cutting it

[@mariovelazquez9138]

Badazz blazers!!!!

[@thekid1924]

I would bet he's getting about 1/3 throttle! That 502 should rocknroll! My ho502 in my k30 dually will blow the tires off!

[@jtravis30]

Ok, we need a link to the video with the hollywood girls.

I wish we could’ve had that!!

Love the rig! Only thing I can't wrap my mind around with you Cali boys. That saggy ass rearend. I guess I'm always in the mindset of utility. I WILL have to pull something on some kind of trailer.

[@ATAVMJPRO]

I usually don't like GRAY - its dull, drab, and too common - EXCEPT this one - it's perfect! I have a '71 K/5 2WD, 4 speed, but am thinking I might need to go grey!😉

[@CamaroFamily]

It looks and sounds great 👍

[@spike7038]

This is amazing.....I’d lose that spare for cooler space, but apart from that it’s perfect

[@BumDog2112]

Beautiful Jimmy. But ‘Square Body’ trucks started in ‘73.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yep, made the correction

You beat on it through the same hood every time, they must hate you. Party on Wayne

[@darrylphillips4708]

Beautiful truck i used to have a 71chevy step side that i did a lot work to then lost in a divorce i loved that truck oh and it was a 4speed

[@admanharv8575]

now that's a real BLAZER, 502 and steel, keep your plasticky little thing sold now

[@Samana444]

One of my biggest regrets was selling my 69 K5 cst for a boat. I bought it for 5500 and it was mint. Can’t touch one for near 50k plus nowadays 😞 😭

🔥🔥🔥

[@BumDog2112]

Seemed like transfer case was in 4 wheel drive. Front driveshaft and axle shafts were spinning. Might explain why it wouldn’t spin the tires.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Possibly but Steven says it’s the 350 trans…needs a lower gear to spin em

[@bobbythompson4889]

Man i only have 4 words to explain this K5 It's Fucking bad ass 👍.

Nice!!!but its a jimmy....?

[@cencoast_7.340]

Yes

[@never-stock-rc2968]

Baddest k5 I've seen... Well second to bj Baldwin's but that's a trophy truck pre runner. This is perfect!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, this thing is such a badass cruiser

[@jerryrice2752]

I likey!

[@30cjbeast]

How much was it to complete build something like this? I have a K5 that’s in great shape but it’s stock and I really want to do something fun like this with it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Check with SMP Fab…info is in the description of the video

[@h.i.sc-10tips31]

Came out nice dont really see this style of trucks

It’s a very well done K5 for sure

How comfortable are those Procar bucket seats?

[@justinsoliz6349]

was that the truck made for big boy the body builder?

[@AutotopiaLA]

I don’t think so

[@gqmartinez1]

I think Diesel Brothers built that truck for Big Boy
