I'd rather have this than anything Chev sells new today.
Amen to that!
Read my mind
Hell yeah.
OMG Yes without a doubt -
@Tom S lol you’re kidding right . All that plastic 🤮 and electronic issues .
They don't make them like they used to! I'm a huge fan of this perfect Blazer!👍👍

I’ve got a 78 k5 blazer barn find coming up on one of my videos with 78,000 original miles tops never been removed
MAn that interior sends me back. I can still smell the inside of my grandfathers Chevy....smelled like fishing tackle and mud. He always smelled like gasoline.
I always wanted a blazer like this on wow
Same! Except for me it was my dad he’s still going strong but when I was little I remember he had one of these and it smelled like Marlboro red and field sulfur lol
Chevy needs tp go back to building cool stuff like this
No kidding, Ford at least tried by bring a Bronco back now Chevy needs to make a real Blazer.
@@mikebas7325 them new Broncos are horrific. At least they tried though. A new blazer would be bada$$ though. For sure.
@@mikebas7325 yeah but no turbocharged 3 cylinders, we need a real off roader with a V6 or a V8
@@GunsNGames1 100% agreed, I vote on the 6.2L and 6 speed trans set up that my 07 Escalade had.
Everyone else "paint match is ok". Dennis "not to our standard so we redid the whole thing".
When I turned 16 in 1982 my Dad co-signed a loan for me to by a 1978 full size blazer all black. Boy does that bring back some memories!
I had a 1980 K5 Blazer, I took my driving test in that truck. 350 with a three speed and granny low. There was nowhere I could not go in that truck!! Had a Ramsey monster wench up front. Yes Sir!! Brings back a flood of memories!! One of the top three most asinine things I've ever done in my life!! And that's sell my truck!!! Sold it when I was 21 and bought a Harly Davidson.
We had very similar past I had a 79. Bought mine in 1983. With in a year I had a 6-in lift with 35s and a b&m supercharger. Lol almost forgot the Laker pipes on the side. The good old days.
Your dad sounds like a top guy. That was quite a ride for a 16 year old. Bet you had nooooooooo trouble finding a prom date in that.
Oh if that back seat could talk!
@@crbourret I'll bet.
Mans favorite vehicle
“Gets willed to him”
*sells it*
Seriously.. what a POS friend.... I'd put a clause saying if he tries to sell it. It goes to an immediate family member
Being a K5 blazer fan forever this one is just stunning,ive owned 3 in my lifetime and even though I'm a jeep guy now I still have a special place for the K5
Had an 85 k10 single cab, then kid 2 was born and I had to get a “family truck.” So I picked up an 89 K5. Sold it and got into Jeeps a couple years back. Found an 86 K5 nearby for a deal, now I have both Jeeps and a K5. Never stop looking. You never know.
I bet there are a lot of Jeep owners who are blazer fans.
@@b-genspinster7895 that is a big ten-four! I love my old chevs, but I have an equal attraction to my jeeps.
I had a 79 K5 Cheyenne with every option and a 400 with 4 bbl. Loved that truck! I think that I will spend the rest of the day kicking my ass for selling it 22 years ago!
I always wondered how Dennis and Richard Rawlings were even friends as they have opposite personalities it seems....Imagine Richard doing the same video with all the woo hoos and get you some of that's , plus the beer assistant....Dennis seems som much more like someone I would want to do business with. My opinion anyway.
It’s about the love and the passion for the cars buddy, not their personalities that attract them to each other although the old saying about opposites attract, it does hold true for friendships as well!!
We don’t need to worry bout their relationship tho. Just be thankful that we. Ave the ability to learn from Dennis as much as we do and let him be friends with anyone he wants
I agree 100% but you gotta admit Richard would be the better guy to party with lol
Always loved the K5 since I was a kid, can't believe you found another so well-kept!
The sound of those doors closing is music to my ears 😍
The term "Barn Find" is over used buzz word. This truck as you said was garage kept. Stunning truck.
Besides the Truck looking gorgeous that Black vinyl wrap is incredible looks freaking great!!👍👍👍💯💯💯
Let's talk ^^^^
Thanks for watching
Honestly finding perfect old classics like that is probably the hardest thing to do anymore. most have been slammed, lifted, stripped into parts or turned to something that cost so much just because of the unoriginal parts. classic cars have been slowly disappearing and it’s heart breaking to watch car by car disappear or become something that doesn’t show it’s history. honestly thank you so very much for not doing what most would do and completely making the vehicle mostly aftermarket and over priced. thank you for keeping the original look of the truck and especially the motor!
Beautiful K5 Dennis. I love these earlier SUVs and have had many I have bought and did partial restorations on.
I sell most after I redo them but my current keepers are 2 Broncos (68 and 77), 2 K5 Blazers (72 and 75), a 1980 Ramcharger, a 1969 International Harvester Scout, and a 68 Jeep Wagoneer.
Just found your channel and love it.
I'm pretty sure that I have watched this video 12 times. I have owned 2 K-5 blazers. One was a 79 with a 400 small block n a 400 turbo tranny. Loved it. Then got a 85 with LS2 and a 350 turbo transmission the same colors as the one in the video. I wish I still had them both
This has to be the nicest Square Body I've seen in a very long time. If I was in the states, I'd be coming over with a bag full of dollars toot sweet. I'm a Mopar guy at heart, but I'd just have to have this. Hell yeah.
I thought when you opened that Ariat box you were going to show us the original bonus boots the original owner got at the dealer. LOL
When I was a kid my Dad had a 1976 K5 Blazer w lock out hubs wasn’t full time 4 wheel drive… When I became adult I always wanted to own one of these bad boys .. So in 1994 .. I was ran across a 1979 K5 Blazer red/ white 2 tone factory paint called her peppermint paddy due to her red/ white paint scheme like a peppermint disk … it was full time for wheel drive so had mileage was horrible got about 8 miles to the gallon but she was in perfect working condition inside and out .. drove it from 94 until 2002 … I have owned several suburban , tahoes, Yukons , and Escalades throughout out my life time… That 79 K 5 along with a 1989 Woody Hayes Ohio state special edition suburban will be hands down the best vehicles I ever owned… Long Live Chevy/GMC … ijs 🐐🐐🐐🐐❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
I don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful K5… really makes me miss mine… even if it was an old rust bucket with holes in the floorboard that guzzled gas faster than a Marine on Liberty guzzles alcohol. It never failed me… failed one single time on my mom when the driveshaft slipped smacked the pavement at about 60 MPH and cracked the transmission. Would’ve loved to have fixed it up by my parents scrapped it while I was in boot.
Wow. I love Dennis. He seems so trustworthy. So real. His voice commands attention and his attitude is sooo cool. I would buy anything from him with total confidence.
That is called a good salesman.
I have a 77 Chevy cheyenne k5 blazer. Very little rust and has never been in an accident. I'm the the third owner according to my father. It is not numbers matching. Built in flint michigan for California for the year 77. Original it had 350 small block with turbo 350 trans and np203 transfer case. It now gas 383 stroker crate motor from gm performance parts, a built 700r4 transmission, and rebuilt np205 transfer case. My father is passed on now. I told him and mom I would fully restore the k5 with time. I'm honered to see such a person like u in this video giving positive support for the old k5's.
I had a 77 blazer from new ( stripped version), but the back top came off, it had a 350ci, , I put BFGs on it, and a Craig stereo with Jensen Triax speakers, it was sweet, LOVE THIS VIDEO
I don’t live far from there I gotta come see some of these classics you drag in !
1978 was the first year of the “Sand Box” cut out in the rear floor for a place to put your feet. And the rear seat fold up I believe started in 77 !! Awesome 78 K5
My first car 30years ago still miss it.
Dude you've got the best luck of any car guy that I've ever seen!!
They call it Research and Networking. ☝🏼
ITS CALLED MONEY 💰
@@ys_a1659 The point I was making is that he gets to these cars before others, he's not the only one looking for these cars and trucks, you're not wrong about that being part of the equation though! I used to find all kinds of gems in my day back in the 80's and 90's and still do on occasion,I'm just not wealthy enough to pursue this full time, and it's not my line of business like it is his, though I wish it was!!!
My first vehicle was a 1976 Chevy Blazer Cheyenne, 4X4 with a 400 CI small block. I loved that truck.
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the design of the 70s and 80s blazers. I own a 1982 Jimmy I inherited from my grandpa. I want to restore it to this level.
Absolutely beautiful Blazer!
Man that thing is sweet . Outstanding sir get you some of that
Let's talk ^^^^
Thanks for watching
The year I was born. Needless to say, that truck has aged a lot better than I have. Not to mention been better taken care of. Would love to own a vehicle from year I was born. Own a 03 Sonoma Crew Cab currently.
Like another person said I would buy before going to buy anything new. But I had a 79 Bronco I bought new and I would like to have another, tail gate window was electric where Chevy was hand crank which I like but this is beautiful Blazer
Very nice Blazer, love the colour combo, thanks Dennis for making this one perfect!
The Blazer K5 is the dopest truck Chevy made,word up Dennis!
WOW brings back memories. I had a 77 K5 Blazer when I was 19.. Used to take the top off and cruise around. Then did a lift kit, big tires and then finally sold it. Loved that truck.
My old man must have like this one he owned as will. He drove it until the fenders practically fell off. I felt bad for that but it was a good oldie and must costume it to your likings.
oh man, that thing is basically my dream K5
My dad had a couple of K5 Blazers so I grew up with one! I would love to own one!
Awesome. My dad had a 78 with the 400. He pulled our 28ft boat all over with that K5. Pulled like a beast while getting about 9mpg! Lol
Beautiful truck!!!!! Love the touches you put on the truck! Those are the best trucks compared to Broncos and Ramchargers of the same vintage. They were head of their time I feel. Great video as always! Love the ride along! Please do that more!
Thanks 👍
What was head of their time? They all had the same basic setup, solid axles, leaf springs front and back besides the Bronco. Coils in the front. Basically the same technology. 6Cyl or V8, 3spd auto or 4 standard.
My first car was a 79 Blazer, red with white stripe and white top. What a beast! Use to take the back seat out, load up friends and hit the drive-in for $5 Sunday car load in 1992.
I had a 1979 K5 a 1972 a 78 1986 and I can't even count the square body Chevy pickups they were great vehicles. 🏁🏁🏁
Love his videos and down to earth style. Quality will never go out of style. Love the k5.

This Blazer is in a very good shape
This truck should be in the Peterson car museum.
Remember Arnold in "Commando", he pushed a K5 down a mountain and jumped in, rode the sucker all the way down! These trucks are BEASTS!!! I have a 1995 GMC 2-Door Yukon myself.
Dam that is one beautiful truck....
Another home run, Dennis! Love it.
I had a brand new 1980 like that man that brings back memories !!
Wow I absolutely LOVE what you did with the Blazer. Its perfect and in amazing shape considering 9 out of 10 are rusted out. The black on the sides makes it look so much better and you would be crazy to not keep the black vinyl on. Awesome truck and thanks for sharing with us Dennis! 👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
She's a beauty !
Wish they still made tailgates the old school way.
She's a beauty! I had a 72 and 76 they loved the snow!
I had a 78 Cheyenne Blazer that was an odd duck from the factory. 305 2bbl, 4 speed, lockouts, Ralleys with 10-15 Firestones, dual exhaust, 2.76 gears. It got 10mpg and would cruise at 55 in 3rd. Put a 350 4bbl with a very small camshaft in it. 12mpg. Put 3.73s under it with 9.00-16s. 13.5 mpg. Brown and white with the same interior.
Thanks for sharing this with us. My parents used to have a 79 with 305 and full time four wheel. Custom deluxe in Mariner blue metallic with white top. These old k5s and k series trucks from the 70s are the best 👍
I had the same Truck AWESOME Truck Boy i miss mine,, Mine was a V8 350 ci Stick ...
I had 2 of these.. The real SUVs.. I miss those square body trucks..
Dennis outstanding Blazer! Thanks for sharing with us! As always I am looking forward to the next video!
My favorite truck, No Doubt. Txs for showing.
That is freaking awesome! As much as I would like to see chevy remake these again, still will never be as good as the old ones. That is still my dream truck!
You guys always do it right.
Loved all of the old blazers of mine and in the family 77, 79, 85, 87, 95 that is a nice blazer
Gorgeous truck! I had a ‘99 (last of the square bodies) GMC Yukon, that I bought new from Sewell. It was 4 door and that silver color to which I had the dealer add black fender flairs. Tan leather interior and loaded. MAN, I wish I still had that truck!
I miss mine.
I’m 62 and love this truck. My wife thinks I’m nuts. Too bad I could not take care of it like Dennis did nor afford it. Wet dream. Nice job Dennis.
Beautiful Blazer and great condition. Another excellent video. Many thanks for sharing.
I’d just got my drivers license when this blazer was new....I remember coveting a brand new blazer almost exactly like this one. It sat in the front lot right next to my high school and I saw it for sale every day I went to school. If I was a rich man, I’d own one now. I still covet this one after all these years .....
Finding one that hasn’t rusted away is amazing!
That s a really nice K-5 I had a 1979 K-5 Cheyenne package loved that truck
Saratoga silver is my favorite color on these as my grandfather had/has a 78 k10 that is that color, I grew up in it .
Wish I was in a position to own this , beautiful blazer ! Don’t ever forget how lucky you are to have one of the coolest jobs on the planet !
Just remove the ads, and I will watch more videos and hand out thumbs up on every video i see🤟
Awesome job to you Denis & Kelsey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻love the shows you put out on here, big love from across the pond !

I'm in love. I had a 1988 GMC full size jimmy. Loved that truck. Miss it so much. I will have another one.
Richard Rawlings just bought a K5 blazer for a quick flip but your blazer looks a whole lot better. Appreciate your time and videos Dennis.
I wish all these manufacturers would go back to at least 1 frame chassis at an affordable price point for people who tow things and don’t want to pay $80,000 plus. Great video on this blazer.
Great move on the 2 tone, makes a big different I think. All silver would've been boring. Now it's just right. 👍🇺🇸
This is stunning. This is also a 2 cups of coffee walk!
Nice paint/decal colors. Two-tone looks great.
man no words. its a beaut
I love the k-5’s my dad has 2 a 72 and a 82 we are both 4x4 we are rebuilding the 72 right now, the cool thing about the 82 it’s a diesel, but the 72 is my favorite 4 sure
We had bought a brand new 78, in 78, black exterior, tan interior. NY winter's ate it up...
Congratulations!!!
I Love Those K-5 Blazers
I love these time capsules.
I appreciate how you love original vehicles. Just like my Dad. Myself, I'd have absolutely no use for a K5 like this.
Deja vu from December's videos good to see a full video of the Blazer, Nice.
Thanks Dennis, I have not bought from bring a trailer b4, I will now, Great vehicles at reasonable prices.
Beautiful find. Like fine wine.. 👍🏼👍🏼
When it hits the sun it looks stunning great motor
Probably the cleanest K5 in the country
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Dennis love love this stuff thank you!
Nice! I had a '79 K5 with the 400, and a '72 K5 CST with the 400 as well. Great rigs.
My first car was a hand me down 79 K5 Cheyenne Blazer. More miles and rust than any other car I knew. I miss it so!
dennis collins can market an ice cube to an eskimo. hes on jerry jones level
Awesome vehicle, the color combination that you chosen is amazing.
Who thinks when they did the driving shots of Dennis and the Chevy K5, w as almost an early 80s cop show or film
THIS BLAZER BELONGS in the Dennis Collins Wing of the Smithsonian in Washington DC under pressured glass for centuries to come. Stunning in every way. This going in someone's collection!
I disagree, it belongs on the road being used and enjoyed
Those were so easy to spin milage back with a drill. I saw a mechanic do it once.
