I sell most after I redo them but my current keepers are 2 Broncos (68 and 77), 2 K5 Blazers (72 and 75), a 1980 Ramcharger, a 1969 International Harvester Scout, and a 68 Jeep Wagoneer.

WOW brings back memories. I had a 77 K5 Blazer when I was 19.. Used to take the top off and cruise around. Then did a lift kit, big tires and then finally sold it. Loved that truck.

Wow I absolutely LOVE what you did with the Blazer. Its perfect and in amazing shape considering 9 out of 10 are rusted out. The black on the sides makes it look so much better and you would be crazy to not keep the black vinyl on. Awesome truck and thanks for sharing with us Dennis! 👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

Honestly finding perfect old classics like that is probably the hardest thing to do anymore. most have been slammed, lifted, stripped into parts or turned to something that cost so much just because of the unoriginal parts. classic cars have been slowly disappearing and it’s heart breaking to watch car by car disappear or become something that doesn’t show it’s history. honestly thank you so very much for not doing what most would do and completely making the vehicle mostly aftermarket and over priced. thank you for keeping the original look of the truck and especially the motor!

Very nice Blazer, love the colour combo, thanks Dennis for making this one perfect!

Besides the Truck looking gorgeous that Black vinyl wrap is incredible looks freaking great!!👍👍👍💯💯💯

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the design of the 70s and 80s blazers. I own a 1982 Jimmy I inherited from my grandpa. I want to restore it to this level.

This has to be the nicest Square Body I've seen in a very long time. If I was in the states, I'd be coming over with a bag full of dollars toot sweet. I'm a Mopar guy at heart, but I'd just have to have this. Hell yeah.

Thanks for sharing this with us. My parents used to have a 79 with 305 and full time four wheel. Custom deluxe in Mariner blue metallic with white top. These old k5s and k series trucks from the 70s are the best 👍

She's a beauty! I had a 72 and 76 they loved the snow!

My dad had a couple of K5 Blazers so I grew up with one! I would love to own one!

I'm pretty sure that I have watched this video 12 times. I have owned 2 K-5 blazers. One was a 79 with a 400 small block n a 400 turbo tranny. Loved it. Then got a 85 with LS2 and a 350 turbo transmission the same colors as the one in the video. I wish I still had them both

That is freaking awesome! As much as I would like to see chevy remake these again, still will never be as good as the old ones. That is still my dream truck!

I had a brand new 1980 like that man that brings back memories !!

I'm in love. I had a 1988 GMC full size jimmy. Loved that truck. Miss it so much. I will have another one.

Dennis outstanding Blazer! Thanks for sharing with us! As always I am looking forward to the next video!

Richard Rawlings just bought a K5 blazer for a quick flip but your blazer looks a whole lot better. Appreciate your time and videos Dennis.

Wish I was in a position to own this , beautiful blazer ! Don’t ever forget how lucky you are to have one of the coolest jobs on the planet !

My first vehicle was a 1976 Chevy Blazer Cheyenne, 4X4 with a 400 CI small block. I loved that truck.

I have a 77 Chevy cheyenne k5 blazer. Very little rust and has never been in an accident. I'm the the third owner according to my father. It is not numbers matching. Built in flint michigan for California for the year 77. Original it had 350 small block with turbo 350 trans and np203 transfer case. It now gas 383 stroker crate motor from gm performance parts, a built 700r4 transmission, and rebuilt np205 transfer case. My father is passed on now. I told him and mom I would fully restore the k5 with time. I'm honered to see such a person like u in this video giving positive support for the old k5's.

Gorgeous truck! I had a ‘99 (last of the square bodies) GMC Yukon, that I bought new from Sewell. It was 4 door and that silver color to which I had the dealer add black fender flairs. Tan leather interior and loaded. MAN, I wish I still had that truck!

This is stunning. This is also a 2 cups of coffee walk!

Another home run, Dennis! Love it.

Thanks Dennis, I have not bought from bring a trailer b4, I will now, Great vehicles at reasonable prices.

That s a really nice K-5 I had a 1979 K-5 Cheyenne package loved that truck

My favorite truck, No Doubt. Txs for showing.

Beautiful Blazer and great condition. Another excellent video. Many thanks for sharing.

The term "Barn Find" is over used buzz word. This truck as you said was garage kept. Stunning truck.

Finding one that hasn’t rusted away is amazing!

Had a 1978 I did a restoration on when I was 13. Midnight blue metallic. Amazing truck. If I did the same resto today it would be LS 6.2 liter, 4L80E. Not a purist. Nothing like modern EFI power. Love the truck!

Awesome job to you Denis & Kelsey 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻love the shows you put out on here, big love from across the pond ! Roger Blackpool, Lancashire, UK

My first car was a 79 Blazer, red with white stripe and white top. What a beast! Use to take the back seat out, load up friends and hit the drive-in for $5 Sunday car load in 1992.

Awesome. My dad had a 78 with the 400. He pulled our 28ft boat all over with that K5. Pulled like a beast while getting about 9mpg! Lol

You guys always do it right.

I appreciate how you love original vehicles. Just like my Dad. Myself, I'd have absolutely no use for a K5 like this.

Loved all of the old blazers of mine and in the family 77, 79, 85, 87, 95 that is a nice blazer

1978 was the first year of the “Sand Box” cut out in the rear floor for a place to put your feet. And the rear seat fold up I believe started in 77 !! Awesome 78 K5

Awesome vehicle, the color combination that you chosen is amazing. Who thinks when they did the driving shots of Dennis and the Chevy K5, w as almost an early 80s cop show or film

Deja vu from December's videos good to see a full video of the Blazer, Nice.

I had a 76 K 5 that was that color but mine was silver and white. It was slick! Nice job on this one!

I thought when you opened that Ariat box you were going to show us the original bonus boots the original owner got at the dealer. LOL

New subscriber to your channel Dennis, but I have been following you for a long time through Richard and Facebook, I enjoy your passion for cars. Thank you for all that you do.

She's a beauty ! Wish they still made tailgates the old school way.

Damn ..- so much pain now 😂👍🏻 . This K5 looks like my lost 79 Cheyenne. NICE JOB !!!

I don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful K5… really makes me miss mine… even if it was an old rust bucket with holes in the floorboard that guzzled gas faster than a Marine on Liberty guzzles alcohol. It never failed me… failed one single time on my mom when the driveshaft slipped smacked the pavement at about 60 MPH and cracked the transmission. Would’ve loved to have fixed it up by my parents scrapped it while I was in boot.

When I was a kid my Dad had a 1976 K5 Blazer w lock out hubs wasn’t full time 4 wheel drive… When I became adult I always wanted to own one of these bad boys .. So in 1994 .. I was ran across a 1979 K5 Blazer red/ white 2 tone factory paint called her peppermint paddy due to her red/ white paint scheme like a peppermint disk … it was full time for wheel drive so had mileage was horrible got about 8 miles to the gallon but she was in perfect working condition inside and out .. drove it from 94 until 2002 … I have owned several suburban , tahoes, Yukons , and Escalades throughout out my life time… That 79 K 5 along with a 1989 Woody Hayes Ohio state special edition suburban will be hands down the best vehicles I ever owned… Long Live Chevy/GMC … ijs 🐐🐐🐐🐐❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

I had a 78 Cheyenne Blazer that was an odd duck from the factory. 305 2bbl, 4 speed, lockouts, Ralleys with 10-15 Firestones, dual exhaust, 2.76 gears. It got 10mpg and would cruise at 55 in 3rd. Put a 350 4bbl with a very small camshaft in it. 12mpg. Put 3.73s under it with 9.00-16s. 13.5 mpg. Brown and white with the same interior.

Fantastic looking truck 🛻 sometimes I wished I lived in the USA 🇺🇸 when I see a vehicle like this 👍🏼

Beautiful find. Like fine wine.. 👍🏼👍🏼

Like another person said I would buy before going to buy anything new. But I had a 79 Bronco I bought new and I would like to have another, tail gate window was electric where Chevy was hand crank which I like but this is beautiful Blazer

I love these time capsules.

I had a 77 blazer from new ( stripped version), but the back top came off, it had a 350ci, , I put BFGs on it, and a Craig stereo with Jensen Triax speakers, it was sweet, LOVE THIS VIDEO

The year I was born. Needless to say, that truck has aged a lot better than I have. Not to mention been better taken care of. Would love to own a vehicle from year I was born. Own a 03 Sonoma Crew Cab currently.

I don’t live far from there I gotta come see some of these classics you drag in !

Congratulations!!!

Great move on the 2 tone, makes a big different I think. All silver would've been boring. Now it's just right. 👍🇺🇸

This truck should be in the Peterson car museum.

I had a friend in College that had a 1972 K5. Good Times. 👍

Espectacular Blazer! yo con 26 años me muero por tener una de estas.

My first car was a hand me down 79 K5 Cheyenne Blazer. More miles and rust than any other car I knew. I miss it so!

What an amazingly solid and unbelievably solid well kept original equipment old blazer. I recently had a friend give me the identical twin to this blazer! Everthing except the choice in colors. It was still surprising to hear the list of options where identical to the one I have now. A.C., cruise control, 400small-ishblock lol, along with all power windows and stock stereo. Of course, the identical part quickly ends there, because the very northwestern tip of Washington state, is famous for its grueling wet winters around Forks Washington, plus it has miles and miles of easily accessible logging roads, gravel pits, mudholes, quad trails, power line trails, and beer serving last chance gas stations, that are not usually passed by, before a weekend hunting adventure or camping trip. This seemingly routine quickstop, for munchies and supplies, almost always gets seduced by the beer of choice impulse buy, that unfortunately spins the once bright future of a potential classic , much like the one in this video, and turns it, instead, to the one given to me three weeks ago because, his housing authority won't allow any vehicles that cannot be driven legally down the highway, nor do they wish to be able to see it from their own windows. Probably won't be seeing a person like me moving in anytime soon hahaha, I carved my initials onto the original white trash garbage can lol. It's more of a term of endearment in my area anyways haha. And no, that does NOT mean anything racial!! Absolutely not! I have friends of every ethnic background, and we are ALL quite happy to be around each other, we just put trash after all our skin colors proudly

Remember Arnold in "Commando", he pushed a K5 down a mountain and jumped in, rode the sucker all the way down! These trucks are BEASTS!!! I have a 1995 GMC 2-Door Yukon myself.
