On this project, the client was attracted to the under-the-radar style we did on the blue ICON Bronco Reformer, but he was a "Chevy guy". So, we took the same approach with this 1969 K5 Blazer. This vehicle retains the stock body and chassis structures, with enhanced Fox Racing equipped suspension system. Four wheel disc brakes on Dynatrac Dana 60 axles, with hydroboost assisted four wheel disc brakes. The 420 H.P. GM Erod LS2 delivers responsible power and reduced emissions to the 4L80E ¾ ton transmission and Atlas II part-time 4x4 transfer case. On the inside, fine Italian leather and wool rugs over a Line-X coated floor. Custom gauges and climate control integrated into a very stock appearing dashboard design. Integrated roll bar provides three-point belts for all. Custom console integrates the audio system. Custom cargo panels, brushed nickel plated trim, and a billion more details separate this K5 from the rest.
The heart of this beast is now the GM Erod 6.2 LS Erod aluminum fuel injected V8. This engine puts out 420 H.P., and reduces the emissions by 50% (over the stock system).
The leather wrapped aluminum cargo panels not only add some finish quality detail, but allow us to sandwich layers of sound deadeners, and also to incorporate modern audio system components, power ports and LED lights.
