Seller Write-up
This is a 20+ year single owner 1988 Chevy K5 Blazer – that the seller purchased his senior year of high school in the early 2000s. He fixed up, modified it and used for several decades but is selling as he is moving and no longer regularly uses it.
Excluding some rust in the normal places this truck is a beast. Both engine and tranny have under 25,000 miles built by reputable shops and both came with warranty at the time and are still under the mileage portion.
Doug Thorly headers connected to a 3” pipe and a flow master muffler results in impeccable sound. The six inch lift kit allows for 35” tires on steel wheels. 4:10 gearing with a limited slip rear end provide plenty of torque especially in low range.
Inside, custom 6×9 inch rear JBL speakers in custom built boxes provide great sound. A 12,000lb Warn winch sits up front on an aftermarket bumper.
This blazer could be a show quality truck with great bones after a little TLC to clean up some rust issues. Original front bumper and soft top included!
