A Fresh Take on a Classic Off-Roader
This striking 1976 GMC Jimmy, rebadged as a K5 Blazer, blends classic SUV design with modern upgrades. Fully restored just over two years ago, it originally showed 20,592 miles on the restorer’s gauge cluster. After being replaced with a Dakota Digital unit, the reading was 20,941 miles. The cluster now shows 73 miles, and the truck has been driven 422 miles under current ownership. This suggests the original reading reflected the cluster itself rather than actual miles since restoration.
Under the hood sits a 396 cubic-inch big-block V8 borrowed from a 1965 Chevelle, paired to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and supported by a 4-inch Rough Country lift. The setup not only provides commanding presence but also delivers the kind of torque and character that enthusiasts crave. Power is put to the ground through aggressive 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 tires mounted on 17-inch Ultra Type 164 wheels, giving this truck both off-road readiness and a purposeful stance.
The interior features thoughtful updates such as a Dakota Digital dash for modern instrumentation and a Wet Okole rear seat cover for durability and comfort. Additional improvements include LED front lighting, black exterior trim accents, a new Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and fresh glass for the driver’s door and rear tailgate (passenger glass included but not yet installed).
Ready to Enjoy – With Honest Disclosures
This Jimmy is offered with transparency: it currently has a minor transfer case leak (new seals included but not installed), and the headliner remains uninstalled (new hardback liner and trim pieces come with the sale). A second dash bezel is also included for those preferring an alternate radio configuration. The truck comes with detailed receipts documenting both the original restoration and the more than $10,000 invested in additional upgrades over the last two years.
Whether you call it a Jimmy or a Blazer, this build represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a classic full-size SUV with modern mechanicals, proven upgrades, and room for final personal touches.
