FOR SALE: 1978 CHEVROLET BLAZER K-5 CHEYENNE
Restored, Upgraded, and Ready for Adventure
This 1978 Chevrolet Blazer K-5 Cheyenne is a true embodiment of classic American 4×4 ingenuity, reimagined with modern performance and reliability. With a complete frame-off restoration, this Blazer has been meticulously brought back to life, blending the timeless charm of a vintage SUV with jaw-dropping upgrades that make it trail-ready and roadworthy. Every corner of this Blazer tells a story of power, durability, and craftsmanship, making it an irresistible option for collectors and adventurers alike.
PERFORMANCE: WHERE CLASSIC MEETS POWER
Under the hood, this Blazer isn’t just any 4×4—it’s a powerhouse. Fitted with a 350 V8 5.7 Liter engine. High-performance Roller Rocker Heads and Hardened Push Rods, increase the engine’s horsepower from the factory 180 HP to a thrilling 315 HP. This newfound power gives the Blazer the muscle to conquer highways, trails, or whatever lies in its path—all while retaining its original carburetor, valve cover, and intake manifold, maintaining that authentic, classic look under the hood. Every rumble from the engine signals a vehicle that’s not just restored, but reborn.
To complement this engine, it features a new driveshaft that works seamlessly with its all-spring lift, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you’re hitting off-road trails or cruising around town.
EXTERIOR: BUILT FOR ADVENTURE
With its bold, boxy design and a fiberglass top reconditioned with a durable Raptor truck bed coating, this Blazer is built to stand up to the elements. The top also features sliding windows, reminiscent of classic station wagons, adding a practical yet nostalgic touch. New felt surrounds the windows to ensure smooth operation, adding to the cabin’s comfort and weatherproofing. Add on Bulley side steps for easy access, and you’re ready to hit the trail or turn heads at a local car show.
KNOWN IMPERFECTION:
The driver door has a small dent that’s been mostly popped out, maintaining the truck’s overall great appearance but offering a small testament to its life of adventure.
INTERIOR: COMFORT MEETS FUNCTIONALITY
Inside, you’ll find an interior designed for both comfort and durability. The cabin boasts high-back bucket seats and a fold-down rear seat making it versatile enough for long road trips or daily errands. Modern convenience is ever-present with a new A/C system to keep you cool during your adventures, while a new stereo system keeps the tunes flowing, whether you’re cruising city streets or off the beaten path.
ADVANCED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: POWER TO SPARE
Whether you’re gearing up for off-road expeditions or preparing for future add-ons, this Blazer has you covered with its dual battery system. Each battery is equipped with 200-amp fuses for ultimate protection, safeguarding your electrical system in case of shortages. The system is primed for powering future accessories like a winch or air compressor, ensuring you’re always ready for whatever the wilderness throws your way.
IMPECCABLE RESTORATION: A LABOR OF LOVE
This Blazer’s frame-off restoration is a testament to its care and craftsmanship, with every inch meticulously restored to bring it back to its former glory. The frame shows no signs of rust, and every detail has been considered, right down to a case of new oil with zinc provided for your next oil change—a critical element for preserving the longevity of the new engine.
This attention to detail continues with the KC lights up front for tackling dark trails, Warn locking hubs for extra control, and a transfer case conversion for better fuel efficiency when you’re on the road. It’s the perfect blend of classic design and modern engineering.
This 1978 Chevrolet Blazer K-5 Cheyenne isn’t just another truck—it’s an adventure waiting to happen. From its powerful upgrades to its classic features, this Blazer is built for those who crave excitement, off-road capability, and vintage style. If you’re ready to own a piece of American 4×4 history that’s both rugged and refined, this is the truck for you.
