I think it looks pretty dang good just the way it is just - a little bit of lighting and maybe a roll bar and KC lights in a skid plate

70's-90s K5's,Jimmys, ramchargers and broncos are the dopest

RL RL yes they do.

While I share the sentiments of most commenters about the wheel choice for the K5, I will say that they drove that thing hard (even with the nice paint) and that supercharged big block is badass. Respect.

The most fun I have ever had was in the mud with my friends . Good luck Jeremy

That is the cleanest OBS on the face of the planet. Pure and unmolested.

Thanks for hosting Jeremy, appreciate the knowledge. Have fun with the shop!

My first ride was an '87 Silverado in the late 90's. and my Dad had a mint '89 Blazer a few years ago. Loved that thing but started having significant issues and as a 17 year old did not have the funds or skill to fix. Many great trips to the woods.

Should’ve called this episode how to destroy a 89 k5 taking it off road wasn’t the bad part it looked better in stock form

That's so awesome PN u guys rock what the people wanna see. At least I do love k5s I have an 83 k5 an do the same they are bulletproof....

Love the sound of that blazer.

this is one of the cleanest ck's ive ever seen.

Wow they both are very badass rigs! Nice!

I recently bought my first pickup which is a 97 gmc k1500 with the 350 vortex. It has a 6” lift and 35” tires and it is a beast that I enjoy to drive

This is a legendary truck. K5.

That blue Blazer is a monster! Nice job!

I loved my 96. I always wanted to put a trailing arm suspension in the rear, just to have the best front suspension GM had at the time and the best rear suspension they ever had.

Great episode.

I am in the process of rebuilding a 1977 K5 similar to this. It is currently completely disassembled with the body about to be removed from the frame. Main differences will be a Dana 60 up front, disc brakes in rear on the 14 bolt and a Dart 496 CID engine with a Holly EFI setup and no super charger.

Miss my 89 Silverado a lot. Another one I should have kept. Fair winds and following seas to all.

Such a awesome truck

Damn I'm in love!!! Definitely a beautiful and badass K5 Chevy especially with a procharged 454, that's a hard on with wheels LMAO.

I loved the last scene in the mud pit just like driving his white Dodge Charger out after being buried alive in the movie "Lone wolf Mcquiad"

I like the before K5 a lot more than the after. Those wheels ruin a good looking vehicle.

This thing is clean

Thing is a beast

Suhweeeeet truck love the setup

That Was Sweet 👏

Super nice build,only issue is it has a carb.LS or LT1 LT4,the other problem I seen was when spraying the fiberglass top they didn't mask off were the window seals go that hold the glass in.@11:26

wow that last part was bad ass...

That TBI is getting a new cam, intake, Vortec heads and a set of headers. With some ECU upgrades my brother was able to get 300 wheel HP out of the 350TBI with just in expensive bolt ons and a tune.

Also on the 88 to 98s......the cab mounts rot.Out which also cause the doors to sag....been there done that....i had a 92 gmc Sierra ext cab 4x4 fully loaded....probably would still have it if the door didn't litterly. Fall off from rot... the truck was sooo rotted.i blew the reverse drum in the tranny n it was just took much to fix. I have now a 2004 gmc Sierra crew cab 4x4 that I had for almost 12 years. She's only got 106,316 on It. I had a ton of parts replaces over the years but she's a beast

I love that this in TN cause thats were i live

God I love red shortbox trucks

I cried when they took the k5 mudding 😩😩

Work on a 77ish Dodge I have and it's bullet proof

Beautiful, possibly the best I've ever scene. What paint code is that? (please!)

Eyes on the road!

That's a nice driveshaft

STACEY DAVID did this years ago! Stacey David who was on TRUCKS, built Big Blaze. A Blazer like this but it was orange.

All the work on it to go mudding, could have been a show truck. If u want to build another square body, I'll volunteer mine , needs work . Just bought it this year but my job has me working 7 days a week with no time to do it right now. Did sound nice when you pressed the gas pedal down.

love

Gosh this is gonna suck not seein Jeremy on the show anymore he was great and I'm gonna miss him but there'll be another good co host on the show that'll do good and teach people new and helpful tricks gonna miss him though I've watched power nation since I was a baby and it's gonna be weird not having him around but hopefully he does good with his shop and makes some sweet trucks and or cars

They have wipers but keep saying "I can't see".

I would have put the AC back in these trucks are insanley hot with all that fiberglass roof in back, throw a vintage air unit in, best 1400 bucks ive ever spent, no more fogged up windows in winter

Should’ve tested the red truck in that big hole, bet it would’ve made it though most of that.

The wheel shake can also indicate a worm out wheel bearing

Shoot needa get my 87 like that had a 90 but got in a wreck sadly

I had this car at the garage. When you accelerate suddenly for the pedal to touch the ground, the engine don't pull much power and the sound is very little but when you accelerate gradually for the pedal to touch the ground then is runs normally with the require sound....can you please suggest what might be wrong with the car?

Should have followed the K5 with the short box to show how much better IFS and factory fuel injection work off road. That short box would have easily gone everywhere the K5 did , just with smaller tires , a smoother ride, and no stalling in the middle of the puddle....
