1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 400ci V8

For sale at Blackdog Performance Cars is an awesome 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne 4X4. Like many of the classic trucks, the classic SUV market is on fire, especially the four-wheel drive optioned trucks and SUVs. This particular K5 Blazer features the correct rally wheels that are mounted to white letter BF Goodrich All Terrain radial tires. This wheel and tire combination has become very popular in the last few years, as people just love the way they look and the stance they provide.

The two-tone Burgundy and Beige paint is driver quality, with a blemish here and there, but looks super cool and period correct. The red interior looks fantastic for its age, with the driver seat showing just a bit of wear along with the top of the door panels as well. New red carpet has been installed on the entire interior floor, which enhances the overall appearance tremendously.

The small block 400 V8 engine is believed to be original to the truck, it features an Edelbrock aluminum intake, carburetor, and chrome air cleaner. The TH350 automatic transmission and NP-203 transfer case, also believed to be original, take the power from the 400 small block, and put it to all four BF Goodrich radials. An automatic choke helps fire this classic K5 up with minimal effort and keeps it purring right along. Headers flow to the full exhaust creating a nice rumble to this 1978 powerplant.

The K5 Blazer was a full-size SUV produced by Chevrolet from 1969 to 1995 when it was replaced by the Tahoe. From 1969 to 1975 the K5 featured a full removable top, in 1976 GM changed over to a half-cab design for improved roll-over safety and less leakage issues. Unfortunately, in 1991 the removeable top was phased out altogether. The Blazer was available in both four-wheel drive and rear wheel drive applications and had a plethora of engine options to choose from.

This Cheyenne optioned K5 Blazer features all the bells and whistles of the time like power windows and locks, power steering and brakes, factory optioned air conditioning, and an upgraded interior. The Cheyenne badges on the rear of each quarter and on the dash look great and catapult this SquareBody Blazer above the rest.
