- In episode 61 of ‘Cars, Shops & Collections’ we visit Dan Fox the owner of a 1991 Chevy K5 Blazer… The last year of the removable top and iconic square body design!
Dan is the owner of Fox Smokehouse BBQ in Boulder City, Nevada were you will find some of the best BBQ west of the Mississippi! Dan not only gives us a breakdown of his K5 Blazer but also takes us on ride along through the streets of Boulder City pointing out some of the most unique roadside attractions.
Prepare to be amazed as we lift the hood and reveal the heart of this beast…. A Cummins Diesel Engine! Dan and his crew consisting of Tyler Donnelly, Dennis Suey and Pete at Hot Rod Hill knocked this restoration out of the park! They brought a broken and ratty Chevrolet K5 Blazer back to life!
Be sure and check out other episodes of “Cars, Shops & Collections.” Every week I feature the stories behind classic cars and the people that own them.

The only square body models that stopped being produced before 1991 were the regular cab pickups & medium dutys. In 1987, the half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were finished, but the one ton regular cab pickups on the other hand were still in production up through 1989, & same with the medium dutys except they stayed in production up through 1990. Rewind to 1973 which was the first year for the square body models.
Thanks for dropping some knowledge!!!
Beautiful K5 Blazer lover the color choice!
Same! They did such a great job with it!
That is so cool! I always love the blazer! This guy did. An amazing job
Truly is an iconic truck… I miss the Square Body. You gotta try his BBQ next time you are in town!

Well done! Many of your mods would be the ones I choose also.
Dan did a great job with it… thanks for watching!
Beautiful paint job on this classic iconic square Body K5 Blazer V1500 with 3/4 ton axle running gear swap to support the weight of the 6BT cummins engine way better than the regular 6 lug half ton axles which are weaker not strong enough
Another great episode! Just have to remember that it’s make out mountain then Fox BBQ
Lol! Yes - work up that appetite!
What a dream truck !!!
His team an amazing job with it… fun ride along as well!
I love the answer he gave you on the mpg question. I don’t care, that tells me he just loves riding it. 👊
That happens to me all the time I got a 1986 k5 blazer and people ask me what year is your bronco 😅😅😂
I think that is so funny! Good for your having one!!!
I got the same 86 k5 blazer too. We doing it up as old school muscle look family car. 😊
I have a white 85 blazer and some dude i work with won't stop calling me OJ Simpson lol
I have a 94 OJ , but that's a nice k5
94 Bronco… classic!
Used to have a K5 myself. One of a very few in ol Germany.
Digging that color!
Killer Blazer Dan Share pics on Westside k5Blazers. Love to meet you one day
Amazing transformation!
Wicked K5 Blazer! I Googled Interceptor K5 Blazer and nothing came up so i'm guessing that someone either put it on there or it used as a Police vehicle at once point.
Your right , custom deluxe , Scottsdale , Silverado , was Chevy's choices for that year !
Awesome K5… you might wan to take a look at my 1998/1991 K5 conversion with factory parts back in 1998…. Tell me where to send pics of my beauty
I have an 88 k5 and many people call it a fuggin Bronco.
LOL! I guess it does happen a lot. Thanks for watching!
87 K5. Last of the CK. Nice truck Dan Fox.
Thanks for watching!!
A 90 and 91 are either V or G trucks. So technically not a C/K
One of the things you might want to look into is cross-over steering with the amount of lift you have. It eliminates bump steer that can be caused buy lifted square body Chevy trucks with the old push-me-pull you steering.
I'll give Dan the heads up!
The blazer is a Silverado package
That K5 just ideal! Bravo! Could you tell me about headlights and grille? I want mine to be just like that. Where I can buy those?
I'll find out!
LMCTruck.com He say's he only buys the upgraded of deluxe parts
Thank you very much for your assistance but this site, somehow and I don't know why, blocked my country@@CarsShopsAndCollections
How many inches are the tires?
38! Thanks for watching! JC
These poor guys can’t even see into the engine bay 🤣
nice truck!!! I have one of those my is GMC Jimmy 91 4x4 350 V8 and I almost finish my project. a guy offers 20K for my truck,
How is it on gas? Well I'd say it never needs gas...because it's a diesel.
Nice catch! Lol
*gets into a diesel*
HoW MuCh dOeS iT cOsT On GaS??😑
lol! Nice catch… some times these things happen!
it kills me that ppl spend this much on a car or truck and don't take it off road or use it for its purpose! I'd be wheeling the fuck outa it! if you have the money to build it than you can fix it too! I would've rhino lined the whole under and floor to prevent damage!
I’m restoring one now and did exactly what you said about lining underneath. Mine was tore down completely like this one, everything stripped, epoxy primed and bed lined everywhere and inside,behind everything to prevent any rust. From the outside it looks like a show truck, but underneath is all business and with a purpose. It won’t be a mud truck (impossible to get it all out after) but it will be used in the dunes. The top is off most nice days too. It’s actually easy to do and I made it even easier by putting an electric winch in the roof of my garage to lift it off.
@@deegan727 yeah thats awesome do you have a youtube channel showing your progress? I'd love to see it!
@@mromatic17 No I don’t. I don’t post anything anywhere, I don’t even have a FB. Commenting on YT is as social as I get.😂
