1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Ultimate Transformation!! Saved from the Scrapyard!! Junk to Jewel!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มี.ค. 2022
- 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!

How many people out there would like to see Mort do this to a full size chevy van?
hmmmm
I second that 100%
Do a van, Mortske.
Yes
A 60's era van...an econoline or a dodge
Mr mortske, when dealing with a Dent and not wanting to use hammers, you can use a deflated Basketball or football to shove behind the dent and slowly inflate to pop it out, this works very good for pickup beds with whammies in the side, might not work for the blaze but it’ll do, dig the blazer, just hope to see the quarter rust repaired? Keep up the good work!
I bet there’s some flat inflatable baffles for something you could use in tighter places but that’s a great idea inflatables
Great tip Steve!
@@James-sir beach ball?
Clever!
James e. I use a inflatable bladder for installing doors in the tight spots. Like $10 at any Home Depot. And balls in the big areas
Personally, I like when you do videos like this. Everyone with a wrench and camera seem to be doing "will it starts"
This one was a will it stay running after all that lol.
Got the beginning of a Rat-Rod Blazer!
Bag it, take the top off, and weld 'er-up!
I’ve never been a fan of lowered vehicles, but you are starting to make a believer out of me.
Glad to hear it!
Morteske, you are by far one of my new favorite vehical "repair" channels, came over to watch after one of Watch Wes Work's video recommendations and have binged most of your collection. I can relate to most of the videos based on my location of Wisconsin in regards to all the salt related rust.
Much appreciated!
I live in northeast WI.
and it's hard to find anything without a rusted out,cracked frame.
Duffy thoughts on test drives. I wonder how far this POS (piece of sh** ) will go before I get to bail out and run around? Why does this donkey insist on no windows or heater until July and August? And then he can't shut it off so we enter the Mortske Carnival "Gates of Hell" non-amusement ride. Hey Mortske I need one of those Hamm sammiches.
I remember the Blazer from when I first subscribed to your channel Mort. She's come a long way since. Her future is looking much brighter.
I gotta stop reading about the video and vehicle BEFORE watching, cuz my favorites are either sold, not for sale, or too much. Then I get depressed and don't wanna watch. But I DO! You know why?? Because I'm frickin LOYAL!! How can I not be? We're both hair line challenged, have beards, and wear glasses! Plus! You have great videos and at 95 thousand sucbribers-plus, you still acknowledge comments!! You are number 1!
I'm counting on you this will be my guide to revitalizing restoring and reincarnation of my dream K5
Oh hell yeah! It's another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!!
I think inspector duffske is going to dig this rig!! You need to rename it the Chevrolet k9 cruiser!! Then you can take the duffster and his crew out cruisin. Thanks again for sharing!!
Whoa, Doggie thar Mr. Mortske, that Luminuum Rayjarator looked so good outta da box, you shuuda hung it above your fireplace in the house, it's great that you take Duff on the Gas Run and he keeps a lookout for John Law fer ya! I wish you would have driven it to the Iola Car Show and put that beauty on display.
COME ON YA"LL LETS GET MORTSKE TOO 100,000 SUBS!!!!!
Hi Duff Dog, loving the latest video and great work from the hairy guy and his thumbs.
Man, I forgot about this SCHWEET rig! Don't trash those Cobra's - stick on the white steelies and save the C's for another project. This bad boy is worthy of another episode - do the floors - worth it, dash cluster, stock tunes, funky/cool seats and those rear fender brows need some love (get some tin and put The Stump - and Duff - to work!). Great episode!
Thanks Jorge!
@@MortskeRepair What Jorge' said.
KEEP THE SLOTS! They look amazing!!!
You don’t like the noise of an electric fan, you don’t like chirping crickets, you don’t like Red paint and you don’t like flexi hoses. I don’t like Jazz music I don’t like being interrupted when I’m speaking and I don’t like painting houses. There, we know each other better!😆 I do love Duff and your channel!❤️
Ain't much I do like!
I like cash🗿😂
Thanks for posting I got something to watch after work
Mr. Mortske this might be a silly question but I'm a kid and we do ask dumb questions sometimes. When u say you are gonna loose the shop are u being funny or are times really tough right now, I only ask because I have learned alot from ur video's and I would hate for u to have to stop making them if u lost the shop. From watching your videos you have made me want to pursue auto mechanics or some type of fabrication when I graduate. I'm 13 and this past weekend I did my first break job with my dads supervision of course on my mom's car and I learned it from you. Thanks for all the informative and funny vids! I'm in study hall watching ur new video don't tell on me. Lol..
You never know when we might lose the shop kid!
The truck has allot of work but even more potential. The wheels look awesome!
Thanks!
Amazing that you brought this one back from the junkyard. Very impressive
Thanks!
The low stance and the slotted mags are totally "retro cool" . I would definitely love to watch you and Duff do body work, sand and paint it. Keep up the good work 👍
I have a feeling that someone will end up buying it from you. It has a lot of potential. Nice work Mortske.
For sure!!! 🥶👽👽😵🤯🤓
My name is Bill, Littlerock CA. Love your channel yours I like most. I have found, like you I'm sure. When I slide lot of tools across a magnet, it will magnetize the tool. Thank you for the entertainment, great work
Much appreciated Bill!
That Thunberg clip... That is better than most I've seen, man.
Definitely keep the slots. Those are really good! The factory rallyes come in a close second, but I don't think those would look as good. Nice work Mort! 👍👍
That Alloy Works radiator looks SWEEEEEEET! Looking them up now...
FWIW, the closing song is perfect... perfectly perfect. Like that song will play in my head while admiring the junk I just worked on with a fresh, cold beer in my hand. musical imagery and stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can't wait for episode 2. Truck looks great!
You mean 3!
Another great video! Love the "keep it running/rusty hot rod" vib on this one. Thanks for the effort you guys put into the content, much appreciated 👍
Our pleasure!
I would love to see you do another video on the interior getting everything working and keep up what you are doing I love watch your videos
Mortske Monday morning and Monday night Puddin
Hey mortsky. Nice Job. The car is Getting better. Give it some love. Weld it and do some bodywork. Try to painted. Make the paint of the car better. Put another Windows in it and make the complete. Keep on going. Make your channel big. God bless
Mortski REALLY needs to do his own comedy sketch. An imitation stuffed Duff. Stupid accidents, broken parts, and Con artist customers (eg. Puddin'). "everything wrong", and spray paint destroying logos. A whole send-up of the Car repair industry.
Crazy how you always have a “disclaimer” about your price but the price is always more than fair. Especially when you consider the labor you put into them. Take care.
Some folks just enjoy complaining tho!
@@MortskeRepair usually you 😂
Love all the videos, this blazer is my favorite
We had a 79 K5 Blazer when I was a kid. 2WD, 305 2bbl, TH350 with positraction rear end. Never ran right. Dad tuned on the carb, other people tuned on the carb. It would never idle cold. I spent many cold hours sitting there feathering the gas pedal to get it warmed up so we could go somewhere, usually church, lol...
Yuck
I had a 78 Chev van with the 305 2bbl TH350. ..i rebuilt the carb on it and had it working fine...can't remember exactly details..but it was simple to setup...sold it to my sister ( bro inlaw ) and it ran great ....
@@garymallard4699 As I recall they tried 2-3 carbs, had supposed "experts" come and try. It would not idle cold.
Ahhh. Fresh off the prairie near Fargo....It's MORTSKE with some man candy. Wrenching on an old truck.😀
Love those slotted wheel rims.
Looks awesome!!!
What a great look for $1,700!!
Cheers
Glad you like them!
My Monday morning can begin. Thanks you for your videos 🍻
The Bloozer is coming along nicely. It looks great getting slammed a little, lots of great potential with this ride. Great advice about always using a fresh rubber kids, don't ask me how I know, LOL!
I'm not a mechanic, but I've picked a lot of cool tips. Plus the usual "Do NOT get sympathetic with flexi-hoses!" Duff deal of the day!
Growing up the younger guy across the street sold my dad a K5 blazer. Then we would go out four wheeling with him, the whole family all five boys and our mom. I still have vivid pictures of that Blazer air born in my mind some 50 years later!
I agree a narrower tire in the rear, and Shocks. Great work Mortske!
I had a skyline blue 76 2wd longbed. Had the same slots on it and 295s out back. I personally love the look, but I also love how the blazer looks with the steelies. Thanks for the video Mortske
Awesome!
Duff said he got so much room to look around , he’s good !
Paint and body work/ interior restore is really fun to watch....
Keep up the great content as always Mortske
Thanks, will do!
Another enjoyable video Mortske! I'd personally go with steel wheels but the slots look pretty good also...maybe a little too shiney for the rest of the truck 🙂. That radiator looked pretty impressive! I think Duff kinda likes this one! Little more room to move for the best views. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos...love the content!
Thanks Robert!
Duff is in the perfect spot for the camera
He's finally figuring it out!
Thanks Mortske! When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a different K5 Blazer! Love the wheels and the stance!
Glad you like it!
You got dissed on Watch Wes Work. Looking for your comment on that re: wheel weights
Not dissed as much as mentioned, really.
Yeah, he just doesn't know wheel weight styling.
@@VorlonFrog Naw, the look to the camera and the "proper way to do it" is a dis
You forgot the small clip in carburetor !
No, it's in there
@@MortskeRepair thanks for the correcting me! Enjoyed your vids
Can not wait to watch this tonight. I want a 2wd blazer bad
Could be yours!
White steelies/dog dishes/whitewalls FTW. Ride height is spot-on 💯💯💯
those slotted mags are badass :D
Settle down
Been watching your channel since day one!People like you and peg leg, neutral drop.. vise grip.. puddins fab shop.. restored.Have given me the confidence to start my own channel. Just dropped my first videyaa today. More to come hopefully! I'd appreciate the support! Still to shy to show my face tho lol
Glad to hear it!
Duff is the best Shop Foreman in the world! His supervisory skills are second to none, he knows his way around a vehicle, and he never lets one leave the shop without doing a road test! No vehicle leaves without the Duff seal of approval!
I’m a big fan of this build even though she’s beat. It looks so good low.
Me too!
Sorry, Mortske, but I find lowering a Blazer fundamentally wrong; kind of like putting a lift kit on a Corvette...
To each their own!
Always look forward to Mortske Monday but my Monday was OBE. So it’s Mortske Tueaday! 👍👊
KEVIN AND DUFF,,,,,,,, GREAT RAD... FOR AN OLD BEAT UP TRUCK , NO NO!! GREAT VIDEO!!! SEE YA!!
Nice wheels
Wouldn't it be a c 5 blazer
Why C5?
Sorry YTube pro commenter, feel it shrink as you gaze upon the prominent factory fender badge at 20m12s! 🤣
@@jameslund221 c is 2wd k is 4wd
They still called them K5 when 2WD from the factory, but I woulda called it a C5.
I call it a shave and a haircut .looks sweet . Nicely. Done
I love the Blazer Duff is ready to go for a ride he's a cool dog love to have him
And once again, Buff steals the show! 51:26
I saw a 1st gen Dodge Cummins Sport this guy kept it really clean I don’t remember a short bed sport Cummins but it was real nice immaculate
“Body by Mortske” if that ain’t a sticker I don’t know what is. 💪🏻
I love watching Duffer Dogs face .What a cool doggie
I like the "try not to blow your face off" instead of a classic "Don't blow your face off".
Gotta leave that space for opportunities.
The "entertainment value" is worth the price of admission! Everybody wants something for nothing (or should I say most everybody wants something for nothing), just keep doing what your doing Mr. M and thanks for showing up today!
I feel like a junkie come Monday mornings. Keep the real world content coming!!!!
Hell yeah!
Body by Mortske, thumb smarts by Duff!
The little side videos you add in are hilarious.
Love this! My Dad had a brown ‘77 that brought me home from the hospital. I drove it to my high school graduation, had about three earl Scheib paint jobs…but I loved it. He sold it to someone I knew and he decided to fill it with diesel one night (gas powered 350). Can’t wait to see more!
Congratulations for topping 96k Mortske.
Thanks much!
Great vid too… Duff is a star, allow him to shine!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Thanks for the great editing job Chin! Many sammichs are needed...good luck🐾🍺
Thanks for watching and commenting Stu!
We need the Morteske & Puddin video!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍
Whiz nuts ? Who'd a thunk it. Always thought they were flange nuts. We learn something new everyday
Serrated flange nuts
Morning Mortske and Duff Dog
Nice to see a car sitting around be turned into something nice :)
Great video! Save every K5. More tech tips on dwell meter, vacuum gauge.
What I like about your videos is that they're not like little Snippets it's actually like watching all full length movie.
Awesome update on the K5.
White wall tires are for old men driving Buicks. The Bloozer needs white steelies, dog dish center caps, and black tires.
Love what you've done so far with this truck. Perfect stance, and still fully functional.
Best thing about Monday
Awesome!! It looks superb sat right down. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. :)
Another Monday Mortske fix. Whether you take a Blazer up or down from the stock height, it's always a winner. From Drab to Fab,
" as long as you're having fun" !
im here for the good stuff , duff footage
I usually drive the little roll pin out for the accelerator pump arm. One less linkage to monkey with when trying to reassemble everything at once!
Genuinely excited about a radiator...gotta enjoy the simple things in life. 😂
Love the wheels and tyres that you have on it, lots of chequer plate, and Matt black paint, that’s the coolest ratter ever.
Smallest digital instruments possible, hidden in the dash, which is left as it is. Make it roadworthy, but make it look as though it isn’t.
I would kill to have something that cool.
1974 K5 Blazers are virtually indestructable, and this one is no exception, plus they like it when you take a torch to em, an added attraction is the parts interchangeability with other Chevys, imagine that, also I am not going to slag on Fords.
I really like your mirror adjustment Tip of the day!! Thanks 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Those yak bone treats are the bomb. Our dog loves 'em.
I sure hope we don't lose you to Foose! I like the steel wheel look. That will be one fun summer rig.
Congratulations, I've never felt so awkward watching someone working on a carb than I did now... LOL
When I did the engine swap in my '85 Ranger from 2.9 to 4.0 I opted for an electric fan. Noise is hardly noticeable over engine noise. I've got a set of magnetic end screwdrivers purchased at Harbor Freight. You can also do it "Rednecky" by taping a fridge magnet to the screwdriver shaft. Enjoy your content.
Thanks for the mirror adjustment tip!!
Cool ol blazer, nice to see you bring er back to life. My brother had a mid 70s K5 with 35s and bright yellow. Driving it felt like you were taking up 2 lanes! Thanks for sharing!
