Rebuilt 350, 700R4, Lifted
This 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a driver-level project powered by a rebuilt 350ci small-block V8 paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission and an NP208 transfer case. The truck has been modified with a 6-inch suspension lift and rides on 315/75R16 tires. The seller states the frame is mostly solid with no major structural rust.
The 350 V8 was rebuilt under prior ownership and is equipped with a brand-new manual carburetor. The truck starts, runs, and drives, though it can be cold-natured and may require multiple attempts to start at times. When accelerating from a low idle, the engine will occasionally bog when the throttle is applied aggressively. The seller suspects carburetor tuning or ignition timing, though no diagnostic work has been performed. Once running, the vehicle drives normally.
Power is sent through a 700R4 automatic transmission to an NP208 transfer case, and the truck is equipped with a 6-inch lift and 315/75R16 tires. The hood features a center crease consistent with age and use. The body shows miscellaneous rust, including areas near the driver-side firewall and smaller spots around the body. Photos document the current cosmetic condition.
Interior updates include 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe front seats and an aftermarket audio system with subwoofers mounted in the rear. The rear tailgate window operates with the key but not via the interior switch. The majority of the dashboard gauges are inoperative, with the exception of the oil pressure and coolant temperature gauges. Heat and air conditioning are currently not functioning.
The sale includes a large collection of extra parts accumulated by the seller, which will be included with the vehicle. A clean title is in hand.
This K5 Blazer represents a solid starting point for further sorting, cosmetic restoration, or continued use as a classic lifted 4×4 driver.
