1/2 ton status
1988 Chevy K5 Blazer
• Basically brand new 38x12.5x15 Super Swamper SXs on Bart 15x10 wheels. Tires have less than a couple of hundred miles
• 350HO fuel injected crate engine from GM. Lightly rebuilt and was bored .030 over. It has throttle body fuel injection with a TB from a 454 for extra fuel and air. The truck was put on a dyno and put through its paces and custom computer chip burned for the new motor based upon this work.
• Turbo 400 1 ton transmission
• Off Road Design Doubler transfer case (NP203 range box combined with a NP205) with twin stick shifters. 4:1 crawl ratio just from the transfer case. Also has the front shift fork modified so it is possible to put the rear axle in neutral and drive in front wheel drive. Triple stick shifters were made by Off Road Design.
• Both driveshafts were made by High Angle driveline. They are center slip shafts with 1350 (1 ton) CV joints and 1410 joints at the axle yolks
• Front axle is a Dana 60 1 ton military axle with 4.56 gears and crossover steering. The drag link and tie rod units are very thick "rock rods" sleeved tubed units made by Rockstomper.
• Rear axle is a military issue 14 bolt full floating unit that was brand new in a crate when I bought it. It has 4.56 gears and a welded carrier. It also has been upgraded to run disc brakes. Has a diff cover and pinion support guard on it.
• Front and rear bumpers were both hand made by me and have solid shackle points on them. The front has a Warn 9.5ti winch on it with 3/8" synthetic winch rope. There are controls for the winch inside the cab.
• It is setup with a dual batteries and currently has two optima batteries (will need to be replaced). There is an electronic battery isolator between them. So you can run the truck off of one battery, and then flip a switch to combine the two batteries for use and charging. All battery cables are custom made out of 0 or 1 gauge welding cable. There also is a 150 amp alternator powering everything.
• There are 6 rock lights under the bottom of the truck for 4 wheeling at night along with two rear facing lights. There are tabs and wiring for lights on the front bumper.
• There also is an onboard air setup built into the truck. There are two air tanks onboard and there is a York AC compressor mounted to the motor. The compressor bracket needs a little work to be complete, but shouldn't be too hard. Since there is an onboard air setup I added an air horn that came off of a piece of Caterpillar equipment as well.
• The rear lift is an Offroad design shackle flip with factory springs and a custom add a leaf to relocated the axle a slight bit to accommodate for the shackle flip moving the axle slightly.
• The front springs are 6" BDS Suspension springs. These have a no questions asked lifetime warranty on them.
• The shocks are rancho 9012s. The front mounts are custom mounted F250 shock towers to enable additional travel of these longer shocks. The rear is a custom made crossmember with custom mounts on the axle.
• There is a heavy duty Tuffy security console between the seats that is very sturdy and locks securly. There also is a CB radio, Pioneer removable face head unit, Autometer tach and transmission temp installed in the cab along with custom switches for the lights, batteries, air and winch
• All bump stops, tie rod dust boots, spring bushings, and motor mounts are polyurethane units
• I also will include in the sale a fuel cell and external fuel pump I have that I planned to install
• I also have the pieces to convert the front axle to a hydraulic assist steering setup all that is needed are some hoses and welding done. Included in sale are a steering box cap, Chief Hydraulic cylinder and solid mounts for the Chief cylinder.
• I also will include a few straps, snatch block, shackles, hi lift jack and spare parts I have that.
• There also is a 36" spare tire, rear seat and top to the truck that I will include
The truck does need some work. It has been sitting in a family member's garage for about the past four years. So due to that it will need some general TLC. Before it was parked there were problem with the truck. I believe the problem was with the transmission, but I'm not 100% sure. The truck was losing power and was having problems changing gears. Sure it is not the prettiest thing, but it is a very capable offroad vehicle and is a lot of fun. It pains me to sell it, however I just don't have time for it anymore. The parts alone are very valuable and high quality and could easily be transplanted to another vehicle. The truck is located in Raleigh, NC. Price is $5500 OBO.
