I picked up a new to me ride, a 1974 K5 Blazer Roadster style. The photo below is part of a series of photos that the seller used to advertise on social media. The date I received the Blazer happened to be my mom’s birthday, March 19.

The primary purpose of getting this ride is to promote a wireless remote control for Lowrider Hydraulic and bagged air ride suspensions.

I’ve been working on a trade deal for this Roadster Style Blazer. I started conversation with the seller on February 2, 2026. Last week Thursday we closed the deal.

General Information:
Custom Roadster, Blazer. Ridetech air suspension disc brakes, new interior new paint and body work custom Raceline Outlaw Series: 260 Bandit wheels, wheels are chromed and painted. 24 inch wheels in the rear 22 inch wheels in the front. 5.7 TBI crate engine with about 40000 miles, 700 R4 transmission. Has a 1956 Chevy, 3100 dash with vintage steering wheel, windshield chopped 3 inches in the front with custom glass, custom gas cap.

One of the best ways to describe this truck would be it reminds me of a boat, whether good or bad. You have to enter by the rear end using the bumper as a footstep.

I found that the bucket seats are set low. When you sit inside it’s like you’re sitting in a jacuzzi. On top of my list will be installing HydroDrop II and having a center console made so I add a stereo deck, mid and tweeters.

Finally completed the deal and the Blazer is in the Manetarium ready for mods. I will go through everything before taking it out for a show. I need to know what is currently on the Blazer, what part and manufacturing companies used for this build.

I need to find the part that supports the gear shifter lever. It currently has a bolt holding the arm in but not at the correct angle and locked in place. The speedometer gauge will need to be adjusted. It is currently off in position.

The first thing will be getting all four wheels off the ground so I can check the underside. Also, to have a clear view of the air ride suspension hardware.

I noticed that the there are 3 fuses on the passenger side fender well.

The "Roadster" configuration of the Blazer is ideal to display the product with the open unobstructed view of the inside. My plan is to build a center console that will display the product and a double DIN stereo. I also plan on adding a few toggle switches so I can turn on and off certain +12VDC sources when not in use.
