🛠 Notable Features

• Nicknamed "Renn" and riding on a Roadster Shop RS4 chassis, this Hogan Built 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is powered by a 525hp 6.2-liter LS3 engine backed by a Hughes 4L80 4-speed automatic transmission.
• Under the hood features an Avalanche-colored engine that has been upfitted with a Holley intake manifold, 14-inch air cleaner and vintage Chevrolet valve covers with hidden coil packs. Keeping the drivability a top priority, a CPP hydro-boost system was installed, along with a Dewitt's radiator and a CVF front drive system.
• The Roadster Shop RS4 chassis features upgraded 13-inch Baer brakes, oversized sway bar links, triangulated front and rear 4-links, Currie high-pinion axles with 4.56 gears, 20-way adjustable Fox 2.0 coil overs, Fox hydraulic bump stops and a 24-way adjustable Fox steering stabilizer. Dispersing the power through the chassis is a twin-stick Atlas transfer case. A 3-inch fully polished stainless-steel exhaust has been fabricated and completely TIG-welded utilizing V-band clamps and four Magna Flow mufflers. Before marrying the '72 K5 body to the chassis, the body was completely sandblasted, metal worked, and body worked and shows the result of a concours-worthy refinish shining bright in Omaha Orange.
• The topless exterior features a pair of Hogan Built shorty bedrail caps.
• The rear bumper has been cut, sectioned, TIG-welded and rechromed, giving this Blazer an OEM look. Behind the custom rear bumper, it features a fully TIG-welded custom-made spare tire swing carrier that has been engineered and designed to fit and function perfectly.
• This K5 rides on 17-inch KMC bead lock wheels wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich tires. Contrasting with the exterior is the Bone White CST Highlander interior, featuring K5 Orange Plaid seat inserts and a TIG-welded OEM-style roll bar.
• Keeping the interior comfortable is an all-new Vintage Air system and new tilt steering column. Classic instrument gauges have been installed, along with all-new dash components and a full American Auto wire harness.
• The audio system includes a Retro Sound head unit, four 6-inch infinity speakers and two 10-inch JL subwoofers that play through the 1,000-watt amplifier. All this sound is enhanced by Dynamat sound-deadener and insulation throughout.
