Description
Lot #1268 - This custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the recipient of a frame-off complete nut-and-bolt restoration with only test miles. Every single nut, bolt and part has been touched and addressed with precision. Powered by an all-new, all-aluminum GM Performance Connect & Cruise LT1 engine with 460hp and 465 ft/lbs of torque, mated to a 4L70E transmission. The LT1 engine breathes through a 3-inch Flowmaster exhaust and is cooled with an oversized all-aluminum radiator with dual fans. The chassis has been completely torn down, sandblasted and powder-coated black for durability, with all-new body mounts bushing and bolts. The Blazer features a CPP tilt column with a Sure-Grip steering wheel, factory gauge bezel with AutoMeter gauges that communicate directly with the GM computer for accurate readings. The Blazer retains the factory NP205 transfer case with an advanced intermediary adapter. The serpentine system has been upgraded with an all-black billet drive system, giving the Blazer all its necessary components for comfort and reliability. The oil pan has been upgraded to a low-profile Holley pan to give more ground clearance. The engine is dressed in paint-matched modified factory covers, and the breather lines are hidden under the covers. The fuel is stored in a handcrafted aluminum Boyd tank; the fuel is supplied to the engine with a factory PWM GM fuel pump. The suspension features a 4-inch Rough Country lift and steering stabilizer. The brakes are powered by a Wilwood master cylinder with front disc brakes. This Blazer rides on 17-inch Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in 35x12.5 tires. The interior of the truck features fully custom bolstered seats with cream Relicate houndstooth inserts, with matching door panels and custom rear panels with painted wheel tubs. The cabin is heated and cooled by a new Vintage Air system. The audio system is controlled by a modern vintage-style 2-knob all-digital radio and Pioneer speaker in the kick panels. The body is finished off in a Dubai Cream paint featuring a full custom bead-rolled firewall, and lower MAR-K trim with all-new factory-style glass and rubber. The underside of the truck is finished in custom color-matched durable U-POL product.
