Junk To Jewel: 1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Ultimate Transformation!! Saved from the Scrapyard!

Mortske is always at it, and this cool K5 Blazer that he did a transformation on was one we dug. I have to say that he’s pretty good at these kind of things and this one is particularly cool since it was missing it’s axles and suspension when he got it. Why is this cool? Because he made it into a two-wheel drive truck while making it roll again and then swapped an engine and trans from a donor as well. Now it’s time for it to become even cooler. Watch.

Video Description:

I picked up this derelict 1974 Blazer that can be seen in the junkyard tour video for $100. The axles and some other parts had been long gone but I’ve always wanted a 2WD Blazer and the full removable top makes it even better! I located a 1977 Chevy C10 2WD donor pickup for the suspension and other trinkets and used my 1975 Chevy G30 van from the burnout video for the drivetrain. Follow along as we get this scrap heap back on the road!

We found this 1974 Chevy K5 Blazer missing it’s axles and suspension laying in the scrap pile at a junkyard. In a previous video we swapped the suspension to 2WD using a similar year C10 pickup as a donor and the drivetrain from a 1975 Chevrolet G30 van. Let’s see if we can’t make it look a little more appealing and road worth at the same time! I’m getting attached to this one and I’ve got a TON of labor into it thus far but I’d let it go in the as seen condition for $9,500. If you don’t like the price, move along! As always, thanks for watching!

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
