1980 Chevrolet Blazer

Description

This is one seriously powerful Blazer that will surprise you on multiple levels. The first one is that you don't need to climb up into it. It's not a 4-wheel drive so it sits low and handles more like a muscle car than a truck. Others are the quality of the build from top to bottom and the show car level paint and interior. Check it out.

You may not expect a Blazer to be hunkered down on the ground like this one is, but once you see it, you realize how right it really is. The Brown and White paint is about flawless and has a super slick shine to it. The white two-tone down the center is trimmed in chrome and makes the truck look even lower and leaner. Up front the eggcrate grill has a gold bowtie in the center as well as a 502 badge that gives the game away as far as what's lurking under the hood. It is surrounded by polished metal, flanked by single headlights and underlined by a shiny chrome bumper. There's fresh rubber and seals throughout as well as new mirrors, trim and door handles. There is a Blazer badge on the front fenders as well as Silverado badges on the rear fenders and Chevrolet is lettered across the polished panel on the tailgate. The white cap and another sharp looking bumper complete the look at the back nicely.

Open the door and you will find a first-class custom interior in shades of brown and tan. The door panel has a molded tan upper section with a brown armrest. The power window and lock switches are right at your fingertips and vertically lined brown panels dress out the lower part. Late model leather bucket seats look great and are super comfortable with fold down armrests. The matching center console offers tons of storage as well as cup holders and an iPod hookup. A two spoke steering wheel mounted on a tilt column is wrapped with leather. Behind it is a shifter for the automatic transmission and a stock dashboard trimmed in woodgrain. The factory FM radio in the dash as well as the iPod hookup pump the tunes out through JVC speakers mounted in the rear. The custom headliner as well as the rear cargo area is trimmed in Brown matching the door panels, and luxurious carpeting lines everything nicely.

Pop the hood and you will find enough power to surprise the unsuspecting drivers of some pretty potent cars. Nestled down in a neat and clean engine compartment is a 502 cubic inch torque monster of a motor. There is a Chevy air cleaner assembly held down by a bowtie wingnut along with matching black valve covers, both advertising the displacement of this engine. An Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor feeds and aluminum intake manifold and Hooker headers get the spent gasses headed back to Flowmaster mufflers. Fresh belts and hoses wrap around accessories with billet mounts, and the plugs, wires and cap are all fresh too. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps things running cool and the power flows back through a 3-speed automatic transmission to a 12-bolt rear end. The chassis received as much love as the rest of the truck with fresh components and bushings working through a coil spring front end with a beefy sway bar. The rubber meets the road through 265/50R20s in the back and 235/65R17s in the front mounted on 5-lug US Mag wheels.

Seriously powerful and bound to surprise more than a few people. Come on down and check it out for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised too and decide to take this truck home with you.
