1971 Chevrolet Blazer

1971 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST Restomod

Built to compete against Fords remarkably popular Bronco, the Chevrolet K5 Blazer was based on the half-ton K10 pickups of the era. These Blazers had improved handling, road holding and interior volume, making them the preferred choice for off-roading enthusiasts who also had a commute. Unfortunately, many of these vehicles were used and abused, or rusted away, leaving few nice examples remaining - but this 1971 example is one of them.

Starting with a California car, marque experts Skycor got their hands on the car for a comprehensive frame off restoration with many upgrades along the way. These early Blazers were known as the Action Line and represented the only generation available with a full convertible top - making this the perfect basis for an exciting build. Finished in two-tone Torch Red and White, this Blazer is finished off with the iconic Blazer wood-grain trim on the tailgate inlay. Of course, a build like this wouldnt be complete without a set of US Mag deep-dish wheels with polished lips wrapped in knobby BFGoodrich K02 tires.

The interior carries on the red and white theme and is a full custom setup by Nickel Upholstery. With white vinyl for the seat outers and door cards, all of the seat centers are upholstered with a unique tartan finish with seat heaters integrated within. The carpeting in front is European-Style tight weave fabric in red, while the rear passenger area and load floor are covered in LVP gray wood flooring. For maximum comfort behind the wheel, a Vintage Air climate control system was installed, as was a custom Kenwood stereo setup and cup holders. In front of the driver, a 3-spoke wood rimmed steering wheel frames modern analog/digital gauges.

The larger upgrades happened beneath the surface starting with a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 that sends power through a 4L80 4-speed automatic gearbox. To keep it reliable, a high-capacity aluminum radiator keeps things cool and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with an integrated ABS system make stopping easy and safe. The suspension now features a 3-inch Rough Country lift and modern power steering makes those bigger wheels and tires easy to move even at a stop.

With Just over 2,500 miles on this truck since the completion of the build, it still presents like nearly new, but has had all of the kinks worked out so it is ready for you to enjoy. Built to a very high standard, this K5 Blazer is the ideal truck for enjoying with the family all summer long.
