The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a full-size sport-utility vehicle that was built by General Motors. GM's smallest full-size SUV, it is part of the Chevrolet C/K truck family. Introduced to the Chevrolet line for the 1969 model year, the K5 Blazer was replaced for 1995 by the Chevrolet Tahoe. The third generation was simply called "Chevrolet Blazer", without the K5 name. In 1970, GMC introduced its own model of the truck, called the Jimmy, which was discontinued in 1991 and replaced by the Yukon. The "Jimmy" name was chosen to reflect how GM may sound in a similar manner to how Jeep was thought to be a pronunciation of GP in the competing market.[citation needed] Both were short-wheelbase trucks and available with either rear- or four-wheel drive.
The K5 Blazer and Jimmy had "full convertible" removable tops until 1975. For 1976, GM introduced a half-cab design that was less prone to leaks and slightly safer in a roll-over. These half cabs had the convertible top begin a few inches behind the driver/passenger doors and run back to the tailgate.
The Blazer's long-wheelbase relative, with an integrated rear body and doors for second row passengers, is called the Chevrolet Suburban. - Zábava
That blazer is beautiful. Job is well done
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Wow what a BEAUTY! Great work 👍🏼
I appreciate it!
One hell of a job and really enjoyed the videos...KUDO's Brother!!!
Very nice.. I recently aquired a 1990 thats in pretty good shape. Looking forward to getting my hands dirty.
Awesome i love me some k5s!
Fantastic! I just bought an 87’ and it’s my first bow tie. Did you have to take off the fenders to change the front K5 emblems? Can the rear Silverado emblems be reached by removing the rear side panels?
Happy to provide this info! The rears "snap" on if i remember right. (Double check yourself) the fronts do nut on from the back, BUT i usually gently break them off and replace with LMC replacements with 3m VHB tape. The rears have studs but pretty sure they are not nutted from the back. They "pop" off.
What size tire did you go with? Im in the market for a set of those BFGs and dnt know what size to get. That thing looks amazing. Wish i knew how to paint or do bodywork
I think 32s a the go to. 31s look more stock and 33s might fit but itd be close, had 33s on my stock k10 it was fine but not sure on k5
@@Americana777 appreciate the feedback. I currently have 35s on my 89 but im getting rubbing on the pitman arm so i think im going to go with 33s. Thank you
