This 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2021 and work included refinishing the frame, repainting the exterior in yellow, and applying vinyl tri-color stripes as well as replacing trim components and installing beige and brown upholstery, a Bluetooth-capable RetroSound stereo, 15″ slotted alloy wheels, 33″ tires, and a 2.5″ Skyjacker lift with MAX shocks. Power comes from a 350ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and the truck is also equipped with a removable white hardtop, power-assisted front disc brakes, locking front hubs, a roll bar, front bucket seats, a console, bowtie-logo floor mats, and air conditioning.
The truck was refinished in yellow as part of the refurbishment, and the brightwork was refreshed and the tri-color vinyl decals were applied at the same time. The bumpers, fender liners, wipers, lenses, emblems, and weatherstripping also were replaced. A removable white hardtop is equipped.
Polished 15″ slotted wheels were mounted with 33×12.5″ Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires in June 2021. A 2.5″ Skyjacker lift kit with MAX shocks was installed along with dual steering stabilizers, an AGR Performance steering box, and a replacement pitman arm and steering shaft during the refurbishment. The truck is also equipped with power-assisted front disc brakes and a front sway bar.
The 350ci V8 is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. In July 2023 the spark plugs were replaced, and the coolant was changed in October 2023.
