Rebuilding a Chevy K5 Blazer in 10 Minutes!
We take a look at our '89 Blazer build from Truck Tech step-by-step. Chevy's full-size 4x4 gets torn down and turned into the ultimate trail/show fun truck.
The guys strip the frame bare and repair any damage before the Blazer chassis gets its big block and trans inside the frame rails. Then, LT supercharges the big block Blazer. Jeremy lays down a custom mix of color and the cab and firewall are jammed out in BMW Protronic Blue. To accompany that, the panels will be a color-matched bedliner. The Blazer also gets new gearing up front, along with steering upgrades.
It's a build you won't want to miss so check it out!

I have a1974 blazer, been with me for 20 years and not even close to what they have done to this blazer wish I had these guys around. Much respect, good rebuild. 👍
S,5
WANT to sell it
Dude! My 1st vehicle ever was a 74 K5 Blazer. Phenomenal experience. Want to sell it?
@@davesmale7507 same question as everyone else how much you want
I loved this build, more ‘10 minute’ vids like this are appreciated.
Now this is how a rebuild video should be done! 10 minutes long without all they typical acting and made up drama in between scenes. Great job everyone! The K5 Blazer is LITTERALY my favorite vehicle of all time. I had a silver and white, 1976 K5 Custom Deluxe with maroon interior when I was in high school back in the mid 80's. I miss that truck to this day.
Loved that first thing you did was going full off-road with it. It makes me sad seeing trucks getting restored to never get mudded again. It feels great to see you guys go nuts with it 🤘🖤
Bc mudding is stupid
Facts
@@reiseclark4908 you are the type of person that buys a beautiful car and drives it on Sunday evening to go 30, at 3000 rpm and put it back into the garage before night time, with a cover on for the next 6 days...
That's the first thing I did when I rebuilt mines.
That’s what it is meant for!!
Loved the 10 minute format. Would love to see that for more of the projects you've done.
Now THIS IS A VIDEO!!! MORE OF THIS Powernation!
SAID LITERALLY EVERYONE
I'm 16 and managed to get myself a 1985 k5 military blazers and I'm so excited to get it fully done love these old vehicles
I love how they actually beat it at the end.
I know right. I could spend a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the parts, a fraction of the money, and a fraction of the help, and do the same exact thing.
It's easy to do when you have a garage 10 guys and an unlimited budget
Ok...
matt fogarty shut up
matt fogarty What mechanic hurt u?
Y’all are just angry cause Matt told the truth. When you have millions it’s easy to do this stuff.
Yeah I have a shop, one unmotivated usually drunk broke guy😂 my builds just dont come out this way🤗.
these guys seem down to earth. they know their shit, but they aint afraid to take a fresh restore like that and full send it in the mud holes. excellent job!!! cheers from pennsylvania!
The work behind is incredible, well done guys!!
Amazing job guys !!! I own a chevy K5 blazer 1979, and I sure wish that we have people like you in my country to rebuild it that way!! Cheers
WWWOOOWWW Does this ever bring back some memories. I used to have a 79 with a 454 under the hood, a 6 inch lift, and 36 inch ground hawg tires. Great video!!!!!
If powernation dosen't post more like this im gonna cry
It's just something about seeing something taken apart and putting it back together again that leaves me feeling in awe .
This was so satisfying to watch.
Exactly
5:10 "You know what the best part of this is??" "What's that??" "You've got a crane" LMAO My biggest concern with this build is, you did a frame off restoration, cleaned and painted everything to look better than factory new..........except the rear end......you left it all rusty and janky looking. I'm much more of a Kobalt Blue color kinda guy, and I honestly didn't think that color was going to work on that truck, but then when I saw it all put together with the black top.......BOOM.....you nailed it. Looks great!!!!
That thing Flys. That HD front end rear end combo did the job...
Really admire these guys. So good at what they do. Wish I can do these type of work/hobby, but I got a horrible photographic memory 😅
The best 10 minutes money could buy 💯💯💯
You sure packed a lot into one video. Good job guys!!! 👍
I’m impressed, and trust me I’m impressed very easily!! Awesome job y’all 🎯
You guys you are artists you know , you are just masters of your job
My first vehicle was a 77 k5 and it was a dream come true to see one restored this way! Plus it was my favorite color!
Great build. Would love to see more of these time lapse builds. Very entertaining.
Brasileiro aplaude de pé esse tipo de trabalho, top!!! Parabéns, vcs são show!!!
My old '77 K5 I built in 1986 had a closed knuckle Dana 70 military front and a 14 bolt rear ( disc brakes I built ) with 4:88 gears and detroit lockers . A stroked 383 dyno tested at 521 hp on pump gas @ 6000 rpms . 44" TSL Super Swampers . Great build Guys
I like that we got to hear and see it run and run well.
Love the fact you did not put a LS engine in it. Kept it true to its form
I'd like to do one for fishing in mountain rivers. Thumbs uphill, well done.
I want that truck so bad. You guys are my kinda builders. Badass daily drivers🤜🤛
Nothing like a K5 to brighten your day I've always going to line back when I was going to high school I really want one now time to start looking
Love how this came out. Would give a lot to have this done.
Me too! My 86 and 84 would love it too!
Идеальный гаражный сервис! Всё под рукой! Даже разборка! Молодцы ребята! Лайк вам и подписка!
А всё таки без лома и кувалды не обошлись!)))
Ооооо, комментарий на русском!))
Да отлично сделано!!!
Да
Сервак отличный, инструмент, порядок, подход к работе!
Awesome and superb job. More videos like this, please. Congrats from Rio de Janeiro!
Holy mackerel, take a look @ 9:20-9:36.... now THAT is the way to set up a suspension! Look at those axles soaking it up, super jelly over here in Colorado and yes, I own a K5 too.
OMG I love it. I've been looking for a k5 and this is the best ive seen! I'd love to own this!
@@thomasdaddio741 aww man it's already sold..
I'll give you 12000
I have a K5 blazer for sale
Rebuilds truck, floods engine on first test drive 😂 nice build!
Ethan Puterbaugh that’s why I said 🤦🏼♂️
The American way
"GM junk" just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it lol
@@edgewatersbestguitarist1524 im not neccesarily a GM or Chevy fan but i still think that the old ones are all good vehicles and even they should be restored and saved from the scrapper. They are not junk.
Thats awesome! You guys rebuilt everything and flogged the fuq out of it! No fuqa given! Rock on! 👍🏻
That was incredible!!!!! Wow so impressed!
Linda cor, restauração perfeita, vídeo maravilhoso, ganharam mais um escrito!
I would like to see the budget on this thing.
Bout 30k i would say
They do all the labor including paint and body but still a BB, blower, everything else, adds up quick
Nice K5 guys!
Theres not one
They never heard of any word like "budget"
Wow! It be a dream come true if my 73’ K5 Blazer could be rebuilt like this! What an incredible job!
That is amazing how you guys do all that! Love it!
Охуэнно ребят! Три часа ночи, а я смотрю такую красоту!
Отличная работа мужики
These Boys are very Intelligent 🧠 Outstanding Job 💯
Men my dad had one b8 blazers n u did the paint how my father's one!! What a car n great mamories in that chevy u bring 2 me!! Great job 👏👏👏👏
7:12 when I felt disrespected
Lol that was hilarious!
I’m rebuilding a 2wd K5 on my channel I wish I made it look this easy 😂
Gotta love that TV money. Complete frame off restoration (beautiful btw), and the first order of business...JUMP IT. Gorgeous build guys
Absolutely beautiful!! I will have them do my next El Camino
Man if I had done all that I would be scared to drive it down the road let alone serious offroading lol
Просто шикарная работа. Как у Вас ( американцев) такое получается))))
Ну у нас бы тоже многое получалось, не будь таких цен драконовских и пошлин. Талантливых мастеров хватает. При наличии инструментов и запчастей ничуть не хуже делают. Только спрос на такое крайне мал, ввиду отсутствия денег у народа. Посмотри канал бокс 39 (box39) , что ребята с мотоциклами делают и какой там уровень.
Но в любом случае работа хорошая! Безусловно
Загнивают же) Да и презов по 36 лет не переизбирают)
Damn you guys work quickly and very efficient. Well done!
That ending though!! So wicked! great job!
I dont get the part where you let the rear end like that when you re-do the whole car from scratch
Мечтаю о таком оборудовании о такой машине и таком боксе... super
Ага и разборках на эти машины 🤦♂🤣
В не той стране мы родились
Тоже техникой болею
Bad ass truck. Always loved the square bodies!
You guys make a good working team. Very impressive
Привет из России! Мы в Сибири, тоже смотрим!
Крутая тачка!
takes me 10 minutes just to take the wheels off.
Love y'all's videos ain't nothing wrong with a good resto mod especially a 4x4
Engine sound is amazing!!!
And only $50,000 with 900 hours build time 👍🏻
I love how they used the worst transmission company known to man
I'm guessing you got ripped?
@@mitchdenner9743 there's horror stories all over the internet about monster transmission. Im sure they don't send these guys one of their off the shelf transmissions.
@@Nothingtoya they make it actually nice for the show for advertising
And yet in ever single shot they have such clean hands lol
Royce Horton also called acting... #facts
My dream truck is a 1991 K5 Blazer want mine in white with black accents and chrome with a 427 and has to be a manual transmission. God, i would do anything for that truck. This is a killer build great job, guys. im super jelly
Тачка, считай в идеале была..
Let’s spend a ton of time restoring this thing then drive it straight into a mud pit... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
jules Lachney it’s a blazer? I mean as long as they had fun then let them be
* S P R I N G * yea but still
It washes off?
They only spent 10 minutes restoring it. Says it right in the title.
My thoughts exactly. They do that a lot on this show. Spend thousands on paint and body just to go bashing with it.
I like the FULL builds. Please do more of those instead of the 10 minute ones. I'd love to have watched the complete build of this.
I been working on my 78 for 3 years now and we are enjoying driving it. It a good vehicle but had a lot of rust that mostly has been replaced with new parts. I replaced the steering box and it was not cracked in the frame but it did have a crack on the opposite side or passenger side.
If you guys hadent taken a break... you would have finished in 5 min.
Hey let's all go off roading in a $4000 paint job! Waste of money if u ask me
sconrady123 getting some mud on your paint doesn’t ruin it
No. Doing all that work to a badass K5 and not using ut for what it was built for is a waste of money. Go back to building cars dude.
I LOVE THAT! I WISH I COULD DO THAT ONE DAY WITH AN OLD CAR. GOOD JOB GUYS!
They lied the video is 10:40 long
The choice of wheels didn’t age well.
Agreed. I'm not a big fan of flashy chrome on an old-school 4x4. A simple, classic style is best. Polished aluminum if you want to brighten things up.
Best part is the end when they ACTUALLY use it for what its meant for! Very nice truck
Chevy blazer is the one of favorites 90's SUV in Indonesia. I'm using it for my daily car.
Wow,Amazing work,well done guys 💪👍
Amazing build👍 Smart guys.. Very profesionality☝️
Awesome video! I could binge watch these!
Really exciting video very inspiring makes me wanna get up outta bed and get under my truck!!! Looks great and what a serious truck this turned out to be. Really enjoyed watching this video and definitely inspired especially by that rear axle and drive. Really liked this video alot!
I have a 94 s-10 drag racing truck that needs re-done that’s in good condition, but needs restoration. I couldn’t do the minor repairs it needs because I became disabled after being a 3rd generation welder for 30 years, then a over the road truck driver for the last 20 years, which crushed 2 vertebrae in my lower spine. It’s real fast and has a fresh built 383 stroker motor that was built in the Tampa Florida area and is now at my nieces house in Suffolk Virginia. It would be a good project for your show.
Its really amazinggggg... Bless you guys... I have a ford expedition 1999 i wish it comes like the chevy
That was pretty amazing. 😎 Thanks!
Im going to send my K5 over for this and I need it back before lunch😎
Man I grew up with K5s in the family and have always loved them. My heart stopped when they barried the truck in the drink. Beautiful color choices I wish chevy would bring this beast back🙏
wow, I don't think I would have ever taken it to the mud after all that work. Nice build
Increíble, gracias por compartir vuestro gran trabajo. Saludos desde Tenerife, Islas Canarias.
Badass Blazer. Wish I still had my 72' Blazer.
These are the videos that make me wish I had a quarter of the knowledge these guys have.
Love the color. Maybe one day my K5 project will look a fraction as good.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL 10 MINUTES OF THIS FKNG QUARANTINE....2020....! BEAUTIFUL JOB...! NEW SUBSCRIBER
I Love This Video !!!.. Im So Excited To See The Next Videos !! Greetings From *Indonesia* 😘🇮🇩
GREAT job, guys. Keep it up.
Absolutely incredible guys.
Real nice guys. Y'all did a great job.
