Great build and great videos. I'm planning out a restoration of my 82 Blazer and have been binge-watching your videos for inspiration. I love the direction you went to try to modernize it but also keep it as original as possible. I'm considering the 2 inch lift kit from Rough Country, but was warned by someone that it would be a "rough" ride. How does it drive with that kit in your opinion?

What hardware did you use for the stabilizer? My kit didn’t come with the right hardware

So what exactly did you cut off? My track keeps ripping the felt off as well

Its so refreshing to see someone doing a factory restoration of a classic truck. And not the usual Cummins or ls swap that the herd mentality is doing. These vehicles were the technical advancements of that era.

Sweet K5 All of that hard work really does pay off.

How did you like the quality from the lmc trim , im looking to get the trim for mine but there a alot of different seller and prices from $400 up to $1300

How much did this entire paint process cost you?

Long story short, just got a 79 blazer yesterday. Found out the dude I got it from went and made extra keys and did NOT give them to me so someone else has keys to my truck. For clarification what do I need to change the ignition and keys?

How much was rhino liner product

How did you get the felt out?

What parts did you end up using to refresh your window mechanisms? My passenger driver and rear are barely useable. 1974 blazer

Nice K5

Is that a 4” lift

Where did you buy this tank ?

Cool truck, I'm working on a 66 c10

Good job

Dammm bro you had me worried. I would definitely not remove my top by myself. Good job 👏 removing that top solo. Good idea with the 2x4 's. 😊

Love this blazer following the build since I got my 74 blazer amazing job where did you get the seat covers from need some of those for now 💯💯

nice looks good!

Beautiful K5 Blazer. 1976 was the first year the K5 Blazers & Jimmys received the full doors like what are on the pickups & Suburbans, & the first year for the removable top to be only above the space behind the front bucket seats instead of the whole interior. 1976 was also the first year for rally wheels. Those generation K5 Blazers, Jimmys, Suburbans, pickups, & medium duty models were produced from 1973 - 1991 except the plain cab pickups "half ton & three quarter ton models only" were finished in 1987, & the one ton plain cab pickups were finished in 1989. Like the one ton plain cab pickups, the medium duty models with the cab were also finished in 1989 but the medium duty models with school bus bodies on the other hand were still in production up through 1991. Rewind to 1985 which was the first year they began producing the medium duty models with the school bus bodies because buses with the previous 1967 -1972 nose design on the front were still in production up through 1984.

Thanks for the video. About to do my 73 K5...Do you happen to have the bolts sizes? My Energy Suspension Kit doesn't come with new so i'd like to switch out. I'm pretty sure theyre a mix of grade 5 and 8 Hex or Carriage 1/2"-13 of various length. thanks.

Sweet blazer! I’ve got a 1984 Jimmy for sale if you know of anyone interested!

How is the ride vs stock? My 87 has reverse 2 leaf springs in the front.

What a beautiful K5 blazer!!! I absolutely love it and everything you have done to it!!! When I was younger I come to absolutely hating blazers for a buddy of mine had one and he went around a corner on higher and there was a lady in the middle of the highway trying to get a goose off the highway!!! He absolutely did not have time to get stopped and ended up just taking the ditch and well that didn’t pan out all that good!!! He ended up rolling the blazer two or three times and that pretty much destroyed his blazer!!! He actually ended up dropping his speed down to 25 to 30 mph when he decided to either end up hitting the lady or taking the ditch witch is what he decided to do!!! After seeing the damage that it did they kinda scared me to ever buy one!!! But as I got older I did end up buying the first year with the full removable top on it!! The guy that I bought it from had it since he was in high school where he had restored it and he was never driving it and it just sat in his barn after he had graduated from high school for probably 10 years!! He would get it out of his barn once a year and wash it and he would detail the inside and out and then put it back in the barn!! When I bought it I had another friend that had just blown his truck up and didn’t have anything else to drive and he ended up talking me out of it but I had told him that if he sold it that I was to get first dibs on it again!!! Well that never happened and I was pretty unhappy about him not keeping his word on me having the first dibs on it!! I definitely wish now that I would have never sold it to begin with!!! Now I’ve been looking for a 1969-1972 Chevy blazer and they are definitely hard to find to where they aren’t all rusted completely out or at least in my location of Iowa!!! What an awesome blazer for sure!!!

I build a lot of square bodies and had a 76 k5 in high school. Fantastic job ! A majority of folks stall out on a project of that magnitude. Quite the accomplishment! Pro tip, if you want to knock back the orange peel a bit without wet sanding get a denim pad for a rotary buffer and use a good cutting compound and work your way back through the finishing steps with foam. Beautiful truck and well done.

Is this k5 for sale ?

Very nice!! Watched the video 5 times!! You should be proud 👏

I liked it. Should have painted it white or black for a vintage look.

Hey man, where'd you get the floor mats from? Cheers

Love it! I'd like to see the spare tire bracket that you built to fit the bigger tires.

Do you have the info on the gasket you used on those side windows that you would share? I am looking to do the same.

That truck is mint!!! MAGA 2024!!!

Did you get the door locks and the rear window crank all keyed to match? I have a 1990 with electric rear window, but I haven't been able to find the new key assembly for the back glass. They say the one for the manual one won't work

Cool looking blaze dude!

Please turn off the stereo or TV... the background noise is very distracting.

Nice job on getting blazer done! Are you interested in selling the sport style mirrors?

Super sick! Motivating me to get my K5 up and running again haha. Did you mention the size of the bolts by any chance?

Do you hv a model number for the halo headlights? Great truck btw!!!

You'll need an impact wrench to remove the striker and adding a little Kroil won't hurt either.

Squarebody tech tip: just get you a little chunk of 1/2" PEX plumbing pipe, cut a little piece for a new striker bushing, and notch it down the side so you can wrap it on the striker. First thing I do on every square I buy.

Man I’m trying to figure out some measurements from the top of the trim to the bottom of the bottom trim closer to the tail gate and from the wheel well I believe by the tailgate it’s about 12” and the otherside is what I need any way you can tell me what that measurement is awsome truck btw🤙🏼

I’m really curious. Where did you get the K5 from ? I sold one exactly like this 1976 and all some years back outa southern Az

Nice work

how did you wire the halo

That's beautiful, i wish mine was that nice, but then i wouldnt wanna take it off road lol
