Chevrolet K5

1971 Chevrolet Blazer Description:

Ample dependable power comes via the 350 cubic inch V8 in place between a pair of ultra-clean inner wheelhouses, with a radiator shroud in matching condition up front. The engine wears a 4-barrel Edelbrock carb with a spacer for a little extra muscle and sounds great as it exhales into a pair of headers leading out to the dual exhaust. An HEI ignition has also been added to heat up the available spark. Sitting behind the powerplant pairs is a 4-speed manual transmission that's shifting with slip free precision and, should the call of less traveled terrain beckon, this Chevy's 4-wheel drive surefootedness also functions in top form. The aggressive lift this classic proudly wears comes at no cost to its ride quality - for a truck with a modified stance, it rides unusually smoothly on its set of 15" wheels wearing beefy 35x12.5R15 Maxxis Buckshot Mudder tires. Smooth power steering makes this rugged customer easy to navigate, while power brakes that feature discs up front bring it to prompt, fade-resistant stops on asphalt and dirt alike.
