    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.

    I like the Siren. It reminds me of my home city hood, NYC. Now I'm in Fla thinking about the West and watching a Great CZcams channel where Lars is doing a nice Blazer. Best to have a restoration video with a speaking narrative rather than some crap bone jarring music. That music would make me just turn it off. This is a Great Video. Just my opinion but I think its the way it should be. Peace Bro.

    What is the brand of clear you're using? That must be such a fine mist your spraying. It looks like your moving too slow. But the end product is awesome. Great Job!!

      Speed all depends on your gun and product, this is lesenol pro air, using a iwata lph400. No runs and turned out beautiful. Thanks for watching
