Lot #1431.1 - This custom 1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the recipient of a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration. Powered by an all-new, all-aluminum 6.2-liter GM Performance Connect & Cruise LT1 engine with 460hp and 465 ft/lbs of torque, mated to a crate 4L70E transmission. The LT1 engine breathes through a 2.5-inch Flowmaster exhaust and is cooled with an oversized all-aluminum radiator with dual fans. A red-top Optima battery keeps the truck powered. The chassis has been completely torn down, sandblasted and painted, with all-new body bushing, seals, gaskets and bearings, as well as fasteners. The Blazer features a CPP tilt column with a Sure-Grip steering wheel, factory-style gauge bezel with Dakota Digital 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 CVF Racing drive system. 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. The fuel tank is a handcrafted aluminum tank by Boyd and the fuel is supplied to the engine with a factory PWM GM fuel pump. The suspension features a 4-inch Fox Shock lift with external reservoirs mounted on the frame and a matching set of Fox steering stabilizers. The brakes are powered by a Wilwood master cylinder with 4-wheel disc Wilwood brakes on all four corners. This Blazer rides on 17-inch Raceline beadlock wheels wrapped in TIS mud-terrain tires. The interior of the truck features fully custom bolstered seats with tweed inserts, with matching door panels and custom rear panels. The carpet is German square-weave with a rear subfloor completely silenced with sound-dampening Kilmat. The cabin is heated and cooled by a new Vintage Air system. The audio system is controlled by a modern vintage-style two-knob all-digital radio with speakers in the kick panels. The body is finished off in a Taupe paint featuring a full custom bead-rolled firewall, and lower and upper MAR-K trim with all-new factory-style glass and rubber. The doors close with ease with Altman bear-claw latches and custom striker plates. The underside of the truck is fully painted to match the finish in top of the truck; no liners or undercoating was used on any part of the Blazer. The single-wall top is finished in Satin White with a matching hatch and gas struts.
