Vehicle Description

1977 Chevy Blazer, Original 2wd

Rotisserie restoration/customization. Every nut and bolt removed and either replaced with stainless or grade 8 hardware where applicable. Powder-coated chassis. Everything replaced or rebuilt. No expense spared on this build.

Without question, better than an LS new 400ci Dart Racing Engines short block with Comp Cams valvetrain. Air Flow Research (AFR) aluminum heads, Doug Thorley headers, Holley multi-port fuel injection all wired and dyno tuned by Speed Sports to produce 340hp and 430ft/lbs at the rear wheel - this translates to about 475hp and 600ft/lbs at the crank. Hammer the throttle and this truck pulls so hard that you will not be able to contain your smile…all with a smooth steady idle while at the stoplight.

Billet Specialties front accessory drive system with XL Sanden SD7 compressor, Derale dual electric fan module, Custom made aluminum intake tube with cold air box. Engine block and transmission painted to match body. Factory AC components remain so the system can be cold in Arizona. Professionally built 700R4 overdrive transmission. 12 bolt rear posi-traction with new axles, 3.73 rear gears and bearings/seals.

Squeege’s Kustoms epoxy primer. PPG brand: sealer, custom mixed base, and clear. Door jambs were painted 2 tone and meticulous care taken to make them as nice as the exterior body panels. Spot welds and excess metal from the factory were all removed, deburred, or filled to give every aspect of the painted surface a smooth clean finish. Further, the doors, fenders, quarters and tailgate were sanded as “one piece” so as to make them seem like they are all 1 surface and blend together with no visible transition from panel to panel.

The interior was done by Stichin’ by Steve and won the best interior award at the Brothers Chevy Truck show when the Blazer was completed in 2016. Tan leather combined with custom vinyl and suede make this interior unique. Rear vertical panels, seat backs, and a few other interior pieces were custom fabricated out of wood, and then covered, to make it that much more unique, while still keeping the original look.

The thing about this truck that sets it apart from the rest is that it can be daily driven quite easily, and can be shown, all in the same day! I have been back and forth to the Brothers Chevy truck show in Southern California 3 times without a single problem. If you have been around custom cars and/or trucks, you may know that many look good from a distance, but are just not user friendly. They may not brake or steer correctly. They may not go down the road and have a clean, solid feel to them. The fit and finish may be good but often details have been over-looked that make it a pleasure to drive. This Blazer checks all of the boxes that make it easy to drive. I now have 14K miles on this Blazer over the last 9 years, so it has been tried and tested. This Blazer just “flat out works.” You can drive it home without concern.

I have hundreds of pictures taken during the build process and can take pictures of any detail you care to see. Call me and discuss please 480.450.6939 Greg (Owner/Builder)
