Jeep invented the personal 4x4, Ford made it popular, and trucks like this 1979 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4X4 perfected the breed. Blending just the right amount of go-anywhere truck durability with creature comforts and practicality, the Blazer was a mainstay of popular automotive culture for decades, and few are better suited to that legacy than this beautiful 4x4.
The fantastic metallic Brown and White paint and looks great on the Blazer's squared-off body lines. There is plenty of Chevy pickup truck DNA in there, but who can argue with the result when it looks this good? The proportions are ideal for a big yet personal SUV, and with the removable hardtop, it is fairly easy to transform it into a fun-in-the-sun machine for a day at the beach. The handsome factory grille and chrome front bumper, two-tone Brown and White paint, and a shiny rear bumper add just enough sparkle to make this truck look dressed up anywhere it goes. Whether on the trail or at the car show, this Blazer turns heads.
Twin bucket seats with brown seat covers, tan carpets, and Cheyenne-spec door panels anchor a stylish and functional interior that proves how well-cared for this SUV has always been. Today, we might find the inside of the Blazer absurdly spacious, but that's the great thing about old vehicles like this, particularly when they are also practical and functional. The rear bench seat makes this a comfortable 5-passenger vehicle that will truly go almost anywhere. By 1979, the Blazer was getting more luxurious, and it felt great to settle behind the big 2-spoke wheel for a long cruise or a crawl down your favorite trail. An upgraded Pioneer AM/FM/CD radio is in the dash linked to JVC speakers for listing pleasure. Other amenities include factory air conditioning, tilt steering column, power steering, and power front disc brakes. Open the tailgate, and even with the back seat in place, there is still plenty of cargo space for just about anything you will need. The rear seat is easily removed to utilize the same sized bed as a short-bed pickup.
The 350 cubic inch TBI V8 with Holley Sniper fuel injection is the perfect companion for going somewhere remote. The engine features an Edelbrock intake manifold, chrome alternator, chrome finned valve covers, K&N air cleaner, and headers. It runs superbly, starting quickly and idling with a muscular rumble from the upgraded dual exhaust system with throaty-sounding Magnaflow mufflers. It is backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission with a 2-speed transfer case that feeds power to the axles at both ends. Even at the stock ride height, it'll climb over big obstacles and strong shocks and leaf springs keep it from being too rough a ride. Factory Rally wheels are in great shape and carry 33x12.50R15LT BF Goodrich All-Terrian white-letter radials that complete the go-anywhere look.
