We take a look at our '89 Blazer build from Truck Tech step-by-step. Chevy's full-size 4x4 gets torn down and turned into the ultimate trail/show fun truck.
The guys strip the frame bare and repair any damage before the Blazer chassis gets its big block and trans inside the frame rails. Then, LT supercharges the big block Blazer. Jeremy lays down a custom mix of color and the cab and firewall are jammed out in BMW Protronic Blue. To accompany that, the panels will be a color-matched bedliner. The Blazer also gets new gearing up front, along with steering upgrades.
It's a build you won't want to miss so check it out!

I'm 16 and managed to get myself a 1985 k5 military blazers and I'm so excited to get it fully done love these old vehicles

Now this is how a rebuild video should be done! 10 minutes long without all they typical acting and made up drama in between scenes. Great job everyone! The K5 Blazer is LITTERALY my favorite vehicle of all time. I had a silver and white, 1976 K5 Custom Deluxe with maroon interior when I was in high school back in the mid 80's. I miss that truck to this day.

5:10 "You know what the best part of this is??" "What's that??" "You've got a crane" LMAO My biggest concern with this build is, you did a frame off restoration, cleaned and painted everything to look better than factory new..........except the rear end......you left it all rusty and janky looking. I'm much more of a Kobalt Blue color kinda guy, and I honestly didn't think that color was going to work on that truck, but then when I saw it all put together with the black top.......BOOM.....you nailed it. Looks great!!!!

I have a 94 s-10 drag racing truck that needs re-done that’s in good condition, but needs restoration. I couldn’t do the minor repairs it needs because I became disabled after being a 3rd generation welder for 30 years, then a over the road truck driver for the last 20 years, which crushed 2 vertebrae in my lower spine. It’s real fast and has a fresh built 383 stroker motor that was built in the Tampa Florida area and is now at my nieces house in Suffolk Virginia. It would be a good project for your show.

First of all I will say this video got me to subscribe. Wish all builds were viewable in this time frame without all the unnecessary chatter. Second I've said this before if only GM would build a modern-day replica of an 86 or 87 Chevy truck or K5 Blazer focused on drivetrain like straight axles and bulletproof transmission and engine from the old days. Not the computerized crap they build these days that aren't worth a shit they would kill the truck market and make a huge comeback. GM ruled the 60 70s and 80s but haven't been worth a crap since. By the way beautiful K5 👍
