This 1989 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Silverado V1500 was acquired by the previous owner in 2023 and subsequently refinished in black and over burgundy cloth and fitted with a Rough Country 4″ suspension lift (we removed the rough country lift and replaced with BDS Lift and Calvert Racing Traction Bars) and chrome 20″ Fuel Hammer wheels. It is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 linked to a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case and is further equipped with front disc brakes, power steering, a removable hardtop, a Softopper soft top, an electric rear window, air conditioning, cruise control, and a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo. This K5 Blazer is offered with a Carfax report and a clean Tennessee title.

The truck was repainted black under previous ownership, and the seller notes that the bumpers, grille, and rear window were replaced. Exterior details include a removable hardtop with sliding side windows as well as a Soft topper soft top, dual side mirrors, window tint film, an electric rear window, and a receiver hitch. The left hardtop window is cracked.
Chrome 20″ Fuel Hammer wheels were mounted with 37×12.5″ Nitto Ridge Grappler tires and installed under previous ownership. The truck is equipped with manually locking front hubs and power steering, and a Rough Country steering stabilizer and 4″ suspension lift were replaced by current ownership with a BDS Suspension Lift and BDS Duel Steering Stabilizer. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The front bucket seats and rear bench were reupholstered in burgundy cloth along with the door panel inserts under current ownership. Appointments include cruise control, a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. The air conditioning system was serviced in 2024. The passenger seat hinge cover is missing.
The four-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames an 85-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles, approximately 250 of which were added under current ownership. The seller states that the odometer has rolled over once, and a March 1998 entry on the Carfax report shows the issuance of an “Exceeds Mechanical Limits” Mississippi title.
The 5.7-liter V8 features electronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 210 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed under current ownership.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive as well as a dual-range transfer case.
