I bought my 1975 Blazer in 1977, last year of the full top removal. I would remove the rear seat to go camping and sleep inside. One time I took the top off loaded a full size hot tub in the back, ( with the back seat out), and drove it from my house in Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area during a snow storm at 2:30 in the morning. 4 years later, I used it like a pickup when building my house to haul lumber etc. w the backseat out, tail gate down.
The last side of those tires we produced was probably around 15 years ago. They were one of our favorite tires, and we were fortunate enough to have the rights to produce them. But once the mold was no longer usable, we could not make them any longer they would be amazing if we still could.
Looks like a very solid 73-75 fulltop K5 with what appears to be 72 Highlander cloth insert on the seats. A rare find and nice example. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades
That is so nice! Wish I could bye (afford) that one! My wife n I are going to plan a day trip there sometime in the future to check y’all out. Really like how you care about detail, and talk about making the customer happy. Who knows, maybe that’ll be the day I come home with one.
I remember when they sold those tires. I called and called for like three months begging for one set. Finally someone called me back and said the tire mold broke in half and it was not repairable. So no Double wides for me. I wish you could still get those tires, in a 36 or 39
Don't usually comment about the GUY only the "rig". But I tell ya---I am beginning to actually like this guy. He carries himself well, looks clean cut, knows what to say and WHEN to say it, doesn't act "terribibly" ha! ha! arrogant --not any more than myself anyway etc. And most of all he IS an expert on squarebodies !!!!!! I do not like that year truck---take that back I LOVE EVERY CHEVROLET PERIOD !! but if you know of me --and I am sure you do if you are in to '67-'72 Chevy/GMC 4x4 pickups , blazers and burbs you know that when I see a spade I call it as it is !!! These guys are definately legit dudes, I've been doing this resto work and buying and selling of these trucks since early eighties . That's serious time. You pretty much are an expert on a rig after that kind of time. These guys DO actually deserve alot of followers and subscribers compared to these other meth heads destroying their trucks for fun, then laughing their ass 'till they are blue in the face over it. How can you seriously do that and have a full brain you are working with. Thank you Davis boys for putting out hellish cool trucks that even I DO really enjoy looking at and listening to !!!!!!!! Jim
We really appreciate the kind words Jim we’ve been doing this our whole lives. The channel has just kind of taken off we’re not movie stars, but we can sure tell some stories and back them up with facts of things that we’ve done in this industry that just can’t be redone again just like the Mickey Thompson stuff the weld wheel buyout, we got so many cool things to tell and so many more cool trucks to come. Just trying to at least capture a few cool things a week. Thanks for the support much more to come. 👍👍
73-75 K5s and Jimmys didnt come with the vented side windows did they? Looks like somebody swapped in later side windows into the 73-75 top. Awesome Truck for sure!
We actually produced that tire for several years and had the rights to it until the mold was no longer usable. We produced all of the last runs of that tire, including this very set right here if we had to guess unfortunately, it is gone for good and gone forever.
We had the rights to produce that tire after Mickey Thompson had discontinued their 16.5 wheel production. They discontinue that tire. Also we made a deal with them along with a large buyout of their SLT series tires to make it happen. Our last one of those was somewhere around 15 years ago, and the mold became non-usable any longer, but we rolled through them sold them all over the world
We don’t do the actual restoration. Our expertise would be in accessorization suspension related, chassis related, and in some cases interior related, but if you want an honest answer of it done properly and professionally if you have a good donor and you do everything throughout body interior and complete drive line you’re gonna be 50 to 75K pretty quickly.
It can be sold the way it is but we plan to go over it and do quite a few upgrades as the listing says if you want to reach out 804-357-9768 to purchase the way you see it

That’s awesome
After watching all these TH-cam videos and having all these trucks in the 80,90 this video made me feel good love the Mickey Thompson
My trucks only had the Mickey Thompson tires Baja belted,loved them

Beautiful. Any videos from it?
Once again, y'all are Killing the Square Body market 💪👀🏁.
I Love those Old School Mickeys......
Some cool story coming on the podcast about that and how those tires were ours exclusively until the mold failed
You guys are on 🔥 with these square body's Miss my old 76 half ton
They are tough to find like this for sure
Looks like a very solid 73-75 fulltop K5 with what appears to be 72 Highlander cloth insert on the seats.
A rare find and nice example. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades
Thank you we appreciate it more videos to come as we get more completion
That is one Phat ride, everything from Davis is off the chart good-LOVE THEM ALL!
We appreciate that

Help yourself would love to give you guys the tour

If that’s the case, you were calling us, we’re the ones that brought that tire back in existence and remade them until the mold broke
I know who to go to when I'm ready for a square body suburban!
Let us know
1973-1975 Full Top, 1976-1991( 92 ) back Half Top
Beautiful trucks !
Yes sir
This is a Wicked truck man . I got the 75 gmc jimmy full convertible hope to get the paint and interior back to this condition one day 🙏
We love this one for sure
Those were my favorite tires ever I wore out 2 sets on my 1979 F150 . I wish they were still available
We will still make them today if it wasn’t for the mold failing almost 15 years ago, since we made the last sets
That sucks
😍 I came in my shorts 😂 that truck is gorgeous
😂😂
You’re my kinda guy 💯 my man.

@@DavisOffRoad1 You bet!!!! No problem--truth is truth
Holy cow. You must have some seriously strong neck muscles! 🙄
@@DavisOffRoad1 Good job on the channel!
73-75 K5s and Jimmys didnt come with the vented side windows did they? Looks like somebody swapped in later side windows into the 73-75 top. Awesome Truck for sure!
Correct ! Good eye that’s a newer glass vs the solid
@@DavisOffRoad1 yea man! We picked up a newer top with the slide wing windows to put in our 77 Jimmy
that is great
@@Krausmotorsports
Mickey Thompson needs to remake the Baja Belted tire again, that was a good lookin tire back in the day.
We actually produced that tire for several years and had the rights to it until the mold was no longer usable. We produced all of the last runs of that tire, including this very set right here if we had to guess unfortunately, it is gone for good and gone forever.
Oh wow! You guys do everything, I’ve been enjoying watching the content and the ol square body Chevys.
Thanks we got a lot more secrets to release on the podcast coming soon. Some one time and once and lifetime things most don’t know about
14 years of tough truck wins in the K5 blazer in Alaska😊
Nice congrats
Side window swap from the 80's in the top
Yep you got it 👍
@@DavisOffRoad1 thought so... My 75 has solid glass.
Not a K5 expert. But I'd say Full top and vent wing windows on rear
Bingo
What was the affiliation with mickey thompson tires, and that specific tire? Cool to hear some back stories about davis off road.
We had the rights to produce that tire after Mickey Thompson had discontinued their 16.5 wheel production. They discontinue that tire. Also we made a deal with them along with a large buyout of their SLT series tires to make it happen. Our last one of those was somewhere around 15 years ago, and the mold became non-usable any longer, but we rolled through them sold them all over the world
@DavisOffRoad1 that's pretty awsome. I remember seeing them over the years. Love the current baja series.
We will talk about it more in our podcast upcoming and some other cool things that took place 15-20 years ago
Beautiful 🤩
Yea yall roll like we do Boggers and Square body's...
Yes sir
Sliding glass
Yep
Damn my dad had one in a two tone goldish brown color when i was younger shit was nice
that a cool color combo for sure one of our favorites
The sliding rear windows, they did not come on that model year.
Exactly !!!
Thanks for sharing
I had a 73 K5 when you removed the top the doors would barely open and shut.
Body flex lol that deff happened to a lot of them
full convertible and Windows
Yes
How much do you typically charge to restore a decent condition blazer
We don’t do the actual restoration. Our expertise would be in accessorization suspension related, chassis related, and in some cases interior related, but if you want an honest answer of it done properly and professionally if you have a good donor and you do everything throughout body interior and complete drive line you’re gonna be 50 to 75K pretty quickly.
1ton it with 488 gears would be great
Sure would
I’m ready to buy it
It can be sold the way it is but we plan to go over it and do quite a few upgrades as the listing says if you want to reach out 804-357-9768 to purchase the way you see it
I'm in Delaware up in Harrington is Atlantic auto brokers got sweet 89 Chevy burban with 69kmiles
Nice 👍
Are those baja belted actually radials? Is that why they call them "belted" as most tires that size tend to be bias ply from other brands like interco
No, they were always biased ply
What is the cheapest square body chevy and the most expensive square body chevy you have had at the shop
Well over 100k on the expensive side that was built at the shop etc. and 5000 on the cheapest
How much you Blazer going for???
I need a vintage Kc or CARR LIGHT BAR PLEASE
