This 1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer custom is the product of over 1,500 hours invested in a complete frame-off build. The body was stripped from top to bottom and all metalwork was completed and epoxy primed. U-Pol Raptor protective coating was applied to the floor. Dynamat insulation on the inside floor provides additional sound and heat control. The entire body, including the underside, is finished with AXALTA urethane paint. The frame, radiator support, inner fenders and axles are finished with a powder-coat. This Blazer is powered by a new GM LS3 430hp engine mated to a 4L75E automatic overdrive transmission with the original NP-205 transfer case.

The engine is cooled by a DeWitts aluminum radiator. The fuel tank is stainless steel from Rick's Hot Rods and includes a new, original GM fuel pump. The vehicle was upgraded with NOS front and rear axles from GM, featuring disc brakes on the front axle and GM posi-traction on the rear axle.
