1973 K5 Chevy Blazer

than adequate for getting this Blazer
anywhere you need to go. Rebuilt to
stock specs, it’s all about the torque
and still uses a factory air cleaner,
4-barrel carburetor, and cast iron exhaust manifolds to do it. The A/C system was upgraded to R134a refrigerant and all the ancillary parts are new,
including belts, hoses, fasteners, and
even the power brake booster and
master cylinder. The TH350 3-speed

automatic transmission shifts easily and feeds a 2-speed transfer case
and a pair of beefy axles: a Dana 44 up
front and a GM 12-bolt out back. The
chassis is fully detailed with bodycolored floors framing a semi-gloss
chassis with red oxide primer on the
mechanicals and a new dual exhaust
system. New lines, hoses, and a fresh
gas tank out back ensure reliability in
the brush and big 265/75/16 Cooper

off-road radials and 16-inch MB alloys
give it a great 4x4 stance.
Documented with restoration
receipts and photos, this awesome
Blazer is a no-disappointments ride
that’s both unusual and unusually
beautiful. Call Streetside Classics today!
