Matte Black 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne, Automatic, 4WD

1978 Chevrolet Blazer Blazer Description:

Black Matte 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne, Automatic transmissio, 4WD. Clean Title. Beautifully running truck which has been largely restored. I originally bought this truck as an intermittent driver/camping/Snow rig. I love this truck but am making space/freeing money for my new home.
The history behind the truck: I bought this as a third owner in 2017. The original owner traded the vehicle to a body restoration specialist in 2016 for work on a different vehicle. The original owner ran it as a regular driver from '78-'95. In 2000 he began mechanical restoration on the truck. New 350 engine placed at 102,995 miles in '00 (only 4K miles on 350 engine) with transmission restored at that time. I have a whole manilla folder full of the documentation of the mechanical restoration work that he preformed. The original owner had the car garage kept from 2000-2017 when he became too ill to work on it. He then traded it to a body/restoration specialist for work on an old Chevy Nova. The restoration specialist preformed a full servicing, engine maintenance, and body repair with steel plating. The restoration specialist sold it to me in 2017 after coating it in professional Black Matte Rhino lining.

The minor issues:- Front drivers side fender was bumped while camping and squeezing the truck between some trees. Scratched the bumper (which I replaced). Fender has a small dent and small area of touched up paint- Surface level undercarriage rust, overall though in really good shape for a 42 yo truck- Windows/Tailgate will probably need some new weather stripping at some point soon. I keep the truck in a garage and dont take it out when its wet but when I take it to the car wash it does have a small leak of water around the drivers side door weather stripping. Rear window weather stripping missing.- Front inner wheel well does have a small rust hole in it which was roughly patched.- Horn needs servicing, not currently working- Stereo system seems to bleed out the battery if the truck is not run for a couple weeks.- Original seats, but some of the vinyl dye has cracked on the passenger side seat. The drivers side seat has a tear in it. All seats are a little dingy as they are 40+ years old.- One of the LED headlights needs wiring to the Bright component. Stock connectors left in place in case you want to switch back to Halogen
All in all this is a fantastic truck, but I'm selling it as is. Happy to answer any other questions. If you are local or close to Denver, I'm happy to set up a showing.
