LSA Supercharged ‘69 Chevy K5 Blazer Restomod On E-85 Tune and 37" Tires with Insane Cage

[@ciscovilla4277]

I’m sure it’s been said before but I’ll say it again Most definitely GM dropped the ball with their recent line up of Blazer’s I’m sure most costumers were expecting something along these lines here This absolute monster of a truck well put together just incredibly well rounded

[@Horrorcore_IV]

Should've gone the route Ford went down w/ the Bronco. Nod to the old school

[@wadesnider5218]

Exactly. New blazer is hideous. Should have done retro like the bronco

[@thejoshbtv]

Agreed. The new 'Blazer' is just another crossover that is indistinguishable from every other one out there. It sucks.

[@robertrico7598]

The first time I saw the new Blazer, I thought someone had just rebadged an equinox or something

[@bryanevans2500]

So true, GM misses the mark again. Give people what they want to give them NOT what they want. I see alot if Broncos being sold.... They are cool.

[@byronn.2885]

Beautiful truck all the way through. Love that none of the modern make over took away from the classic styling. The round off road lights are so refreshing to see after a decade of light bars being the norm on everything.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Really great choices made on here. Modern driveability and safety but still looks like a K5 Blazer all the way. Very well done

[@K1ng1995]

@@AutotopiaLA Shaun *I hope I spelled your name right* some of the cars and trucks you've featured on this channel Need to be made into Hot Wheels this Blazer definitely try and make it happen

[@tracyupshaw7862]

I've always said Id take an old truck that's been well sorted over new any day of the week.. this more than proves my point... Wow just wow... what a machine

[@montynohtyp157]

But it’s not really an old truck. It came with leaf springs, underpowered engine, and so on for the time. It has all modern parts and components under it and isn’t even close to an old truck or a new car.

[@jewboy761]

@@montynohtyp157 you make good points ish, but u totally missed the point of his comment. I could explain every facet u missed, but that's superfluous because it's not just one thing, it's a combination of ease and driveability all in one.

[@iansharpe8420]

Such a rad build. The guys at rockbottom offroad killed it!

[@CCDzine]

When I was a kid my mom's boyfriend had a '69 Blazer. The truck was only 7 or 8 years old at the time but it was fully tricked. We lived in SoCal and he took that thing to Santa Clarita, San Gabriel Canyon, even had a set of four paddles for Pismo. And it pulled a VW powered sand rail. I have loved those trucks since but I rarely see them. His was blue also with those white spoke wheels that were a must in the '70s. This thing would really bring me back if it had a whip CB antenna with a little Budweiser flag and an ass, gas, or grass sticker on the glove compartment door.

[@MarkCarr331]

What more could you want!? It has a Racing Cockpit, 37" tires and a Roll Cage. Dream ride!!!

[@mathewclifton3132]

Kevin Jones ... god rest his soul, built this blazer. I hope you're honoring him when you talk about it. Incredible to see it finished on the road.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Didn’t know who had built it so I’m sorry about that. We shot it with Andrew…he bought it then had about $40K-$50K put in to get it sorted but sure is a great K5

[@mathewclifton3132]

@@AutotopiaLA my apologies, my comment was not meant to offend what so ever. Kevin had a stable of incredible rides.

[@slon4lo436]

Actually Rock Bottom Off-Road built it, no disrespect to your friend a horrible thing to lose a friend and family member. I am sure the one he built was just as Bad Ass 👊🙌

[@2apappas]

Mathew was the one he built this color? This blazer was built by Rock Bottom offroad for the last owner then reworked by the same shop to handle the supercharger etc and changed a bit. Like slo n 4 lo said I am sure Kevin built a cool rig and I would love to see it!

Seeing this video with this Blazer made me appreciate autotopiaLA and the Driver88 so much! It inspired me to finally go out and get my own. I bought a clean 1972 K5 Blazer. It was a complete barn find for the guy I bought it from. Completely stock, I’m still trying to get it to stop, go and handle with confidence. My goal is to have it one day soon to emulate your badass Blazer in its stock yellow skin. I get compliments all the time but I could only imagine the feeling you get driving yours. Thank you for the inspiration and any and all your tips would be greatly appreciated!
