According to the seller, the tub and body panels were replaced before a repaint in white during the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 2021. A 1970 Chevrolet Blazer grille has been installed along with bowtie, “K5 Blazer,” and “8-400” badging. A Softopper removable soft top will accompany the truck, and additional exterior features include chrome bumpers, dual side mirrors, and Motor City K5 retractable side steps. Paint chips are noted on the hood and left quarter panel, which can be viewed in the gallery.
Polished 18” alloy wheels are mounted with 37×12.5” Toyo Open Country M/T tires. The front axle is equipped with manually locking front hubs as well as a BDS dual steering stabilizer setup with Fox dampers. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes up front and drums out back.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with debossed accents as well as color-coordinated door panel inserts and carpets. A Bluetooth-capable RetroSound receiver has been fitted in the factory location, and black bedliner material has been applied to the inside of the tub.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 88k miles, approximately 5k of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement 400ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt under prior ownership and is equipped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a polished air cleaner, and an aluminum radiator.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. The gearbox features a low-ratio crawler gear, and the truck has been fitted with a Flowmaster dual exhaust system.
The VIN plate has been painted over and is shown above. The current Georgia registration lists a 5 in place of an S for the sixth digit.
