Up for
sale is a 1974 Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4
I am a
friend of the original owner who bought her new in 1974 who passed away. This is how it came into my hands recently.
This Blazer has been well-kept, but ready for a refreshing which I started. I
have been rebuilding cars for 40 years, but unfortunately, Father-Time has
caught up with me. I just can't get it done because of a bad back and knees.
This is a good K5 with sound bones. All is good except for the hood (rust
indicated). It is currently painted in a Chevy (1969 Corvette color) metallic
Fathom Green (originally Chevy gold) and white.
The interior has been started. The seats have been recovered in a Black/White
houndstooth, and the inside has been Rhino-Lined. Many upgraded parts have been
purchased and ready for install:
1. Hydro-boost
Power-Steering assist braking system. I installed this exact system on my 1972
K5, and it is fantastic! My 72 stopped on a dime! A must-have for these big
heavy trucks. Parts include new lines. proportioning valve, break
canister, master cylinder, brake lines, and I topped it off with a high-quality
Saginaw hi-volume power steering pump.
2. All new tie-rod ends, drag link, pitman arm, brake calipers. Included
are the 4" lift springs and blocks, along with the NEW Soft-Ride
Suspension system with 4 new Bilstein Shocks w/boots.
In all, I spent around $8K in replacement/upgrade parts. So many parts,
badging, new side windows, seals, window cranks, aluminum radiator, new fan shroud, etc.
ENGINE:
18,000 miles on rebuilt 383 CI Stroker, approx. 400hp
Transmission:
TH350
Transfer Case: NP203
Axle: 12-bolt Rear, 10-bolt Front
This K5 runs strong without any leaks.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with skilled hands to create
something special to park in the garage. These finished K5's are up in the
mid-$40K range now, and they are increasing in value with every passing year. I
am super sad to let her go, but she needs a better home and owner.
Low reserve! Good luck!!!

I just added 10 new photos! I was just starting the driver's door window regulator and tailgate window regulator when my health gave out. Both regulators need to be replaced, as well as the passenger window (not disassembled). I have new glass, vent window, rubber seals, regulator and felts for the driver's door... plus cranks and new outside chrome door handles for both doors. The old exhaust manifold was removed to make way for a new set of headers. The old worn-out turbo mufflers have been removed. I think that covers everything. If you have a specific question, send me email. Note: This K5 Blazer will sell!!!
