Price My Classic

While Jeep, International, and Ford had been making small off-road-oriented but decidedly on-road used multi-purpose vehicles, it was GM who super-sized them to the half-ton pickup platform. Essentially a K-10 pickup with a very short integral box as part of the interior, the K-5 Blazer pioneered the pickup-based SUV. While retaining the stock pickup doors, the standard top was made from fiberglass and could be unbolted. Both model range and powertrain availability also mirrored the half-ton pickups.

There has been plenty of custom work in this 1978 Chevrolet Blazer. Desirable two-wheel drive model upgraded with 5. 3-liter LS engine, 4L60E automatic transmission, lowering kit with RideTech suspension components on 22-inch US Mag wheels,...

If you are looking for a sweet K5 then look no further! This 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer has one sweet paint job. All dressed up in metallic brown and off white and Ridler 22-inch rims this K5 demands attention. Let's go through this beauty one area at a time. While the outside is beautiful the interior keeps that trend going with black vinyl interior with dark brown cloth seating surface. The interior details have not been skipped nor skimped on! As for the often-underappreciated undercarriage, this K5 has been lavished with upgrades. Drop spindles, springs and shocks up front and a lower rear give this Blazer one sweet stance. But wait there is more! Tubular upper A arms, tie rod ends, pitman arm and sway bar and bushing are just a short list of the upgrades. Under the hood was not ignored and a 5. 3-liter LS was installed with Edelbrock intake and Carburetor, Long tube headers and MSD 6LS ignition controller to give this ride all the motivation it requires and one sweet exhaust note! Speaking of notes, the sound system was not overlooked and includes an Alpine head unit that is AM/FM CD this unit sends the music flowing...

This one is a 1978 model and is equipped with a stout 350 CID V8 engine mated to a smooth and refined automatic transmission. Backing it all up and making it drive correctly are 3:07 gears. Since this Blazer left the factory it has only covered 85,745 miles which is just incredible. It is finished in an awesome blue/white paint job which fits the truck perfectly and has a blue vinyl interior to match. This is a numbers matching Blazer and it is believed to be in original condition. It is equipped with modern conveniences like air conditioning, convertible top, cruise control, power brakes, power steering, tilt wheel and seat belts. The interior is kept up in part because of the sturdy, durable vinyl interior. The white wall radial tires surround some great looking rally wheels. The frame off restoration was completed in the mid 90-s and was so thorough that they even used all OEM parts. The attention to detail is amazing and no expense has been spared. The current owner of the truck purchased the truck from his grandfather 33 years ago and has...

This 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer was set up with a 62 gallon fuel capacity for any occasion. The 454 CID V8 engine will likely never run out of fuel, the exhaust system sounds awesome, just watch the video. One of the things you-ll notice is the olive color bedliner paint. Ready for rough and tumble driving and staying hidden in the bushes and not worrying about the paint. Ground clearance isn-t an issue considering it is running 37 inch Goodyear tires. Need to see at night? Well break out your night vision goggles and crank on the infrared lighting mounted on the custom safari roof rack. A full 160 degrees of infrared lighting surrounds the truck when activated. So if you don-t want to attract the Zombies with your lights...

The K5 was the smallest full size SUV version from the C/K line of trucks. Though very popular and running an amazing 22 years you really don't see many of them running around today. Used as mainly off-road vehicles, sort of a bigger jeep if you will, they were used up and thrown away basically making them a hard find today. This 1978 is a good example of what can be done when you have a great platform to begin with. This one owner was a treasured piece that was taken great care of not only when being used as a daily but after being completely rebuilt and brought back to better than ever. The first thing he did was go for more power, so after pulling the motor a new cam was installed giving it much better low end torque and ofcourse a great sound. The next thing to be switched out was the intake, adding an Edelbrock performer definitely woke that small block up. Ofcourse you don't want to put it all back together and look the same, so a chrome kit was added giving it a very clean look. With the engine back in, the builder liked the,...
