1972 Blazer K/5 4x4 Custom Show Truck Restored Blue & Parchment Interior 400HP Chevy 383 Stroker EngineRancho 6" 3/4-ton SuspensionRestored Blue & White Paint New Trim & Chrome One of a Kind! Please bid only if you can afford to pay within 3 days of auction's end. This is a very special 1972 full custom build K/5 Blazer pickup... you won’t find another like it. Read below for full details, and call Tim at 360-936-9257 with any questions. I will need to speak with you prior to accepting any offer. This full custom build is the Titan Demigod offspring of the mating of a 1972 Chevrolet C/10 pickup and a K/5 Blazer. It is essentially a Heavy Duty K/5 pickup, if Chevrolet had built such an animal. Beginning with a factory 1972 Custom 10 pickup and 4x4 Blazer chassis, the bed was professionally shortened to match the Blazer 104” wheelbase. It was then assembled with some of the best available Chevrolet components, including the heavy-duty Dana 44 front- and 14-bolt Corporate rear ¾-ton axles, a full new Rancho 6" lifted performance suspension system, and an ultra-high performance 400+ horsepower 383 Stroker roller motor to round out the package. The body, paint, interior, trim, etc. were then restored close to essentially factory-new condition, and the undercarriage detailed to match. This is a very high-end body-off-frame custom build, designed to create true pickup version of the early K/5 Blazer with ¾-ton suspension, and a monster engine. It hit the mark in spades, and has to be one of the most beautiful and unique early Chevy 4x4 trucks in existence. I own a restoration shop, and this very special truck would literally have cost over $75k to build at my conservative shop rate. I built it to keep, but she’s up on the auction block now. Full details as follows: Body, Paint, and Glass -Complete and full body dis-assembly including all trim, body panels (doors, hood, fenders, tail gate), interior, electrical, glass, door mechanisms, etc. prior to work commencement. -Complete professional bodywork including stud gun and hammer-and dolly metal-finish to achieve as close to perfect fit and finish before any minimal body filler was applied. -Body panels worked individually, then fitted to the cab and flowed to one another.

I would keep it if I could afford to. Clear title in hand, matches VIN exactly for inspection and export. While every effort has been made to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible, it is in fact a 44-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. The truck is gorgeous, but is not a new vehicle and can be expected to have minor flaws.
