Very well done and much respect to a boss who can talk to his employees like a man and treat them as real friends not just some who works for you! Good job Dennis!
Dennis has, in my opinion, the best and most informative car channel on RUclips. So much knowledge and seems like a genuinely nice guy. Appreciate the videos and he's proof that hard work, knowledge and attitude determines success. Good example for young people.
Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you. you’re one of the guys that have kept me sane for the past year while recovering. I should be restoring my family owned 68 GTO that my dad bought brand new in 69. But when being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2012 wasn’t enough to stop me I got paralyzed in 2019 from the neck down. Let me tell you that’ll put the kibosh on your car tinkering. I had to start all over….. and learn how to walk and feed myself and do basically everything people do every day. It’s been a long hard struggle but I’ve gotten everything back with the exception of my hands…my left hand wont open all the way and the right won’t close all the way. I just wanted to say thank you for being one of the guys I watch regularly while struggling to get back out there and “get my goat” back on the road thank you and keep up the good work.
Coffee Walk is our favorite on You Tube - hubby and I love to watch together and even rewatch episodes! Love the way y’all do the show, we look forward to seeing what you find and how you get them home! Keep going just the way you are! 👍👍👍👍
Brings back a TON of memories !! My parents bought a new '81 K5 Blazer when I was a kid (the purchase was heavily influenced by 10-year-old me), the paint was two-tone silver/black with a red pinstripe. It had grey interior (much nicer than red), factory tape-deck, cruise -- and the anemic 305 with "Electronic Spark Control." Removing the cats really woke it up! My dad had the dealer swap-out the tiny stock radial tires for some oversized Goodyear Wrangler R/T's... they looked very similar to the BFG's on this '78. It was my mom's daily driver and or vacation vehicle -- loaded up, we had me, and my two younger brothers in the back seat, windsurfer on the roof-rack, my 80cc Suzuki on the rear bumper-rack, our BMX bikes on the front bumper-rack, and towing a trailer with my dad's Catamaran on it! We sold it in 1988 and bought a new '88 Cherokee Limited XJ (charcoal grey w/ leather). The Cherokee was really nice, but I miss the Blazer much more!
I like how Dennis talks about his welds “I really want you guys to see these” then points them out for us, and the cameraman DOESN’T even pan down for us to see the welds...
"Have it your way" the old Burger King commercial slogan. Dennis you and I and some others here are old enough to remember those commercials, I'm betting though there are quite a few of your viewers who never saw those commercials because they were not yet born. LOL
My Grandfather had one very similar to this one that we rode to the lake place in for many years. It had the small wheel and tire combo you mentioned. Certain roads during the trip she would buck up and down for miles. He held on to it till the body rusted away thanks to the Minnesota winters. Love this example you now own! Thanks for the memories Dennis.
These square body trucks and blazers look so much better 2 tone...had a 78 step side 4x4 it just had a 305 in it but that was the purest running truck I've ever owned...also 100% agree on the BFG tires
Freaking AWESOME truck! I bought a ‘99 Yukon from Sewell (last year of the square body style). It was 4x4, 4 door, platinum silver (basically the same as the silver on this ‘78), tan leather interior and loaded. I had Sewell add the black fender flairs and skid plates. Yes, it had high miles (120k when. we sold it), but I’m anal about my vehicles and it was ALWAYS serviced, always 9n Michelin’s, and I had a binder with all that paperwork, from window sticker to every receipt for all the maintenance.
That K5 is beautiful... that 400 is priceless. I have a 1979 K30 crew cab with the original 400 I love those engines and my truck . Wish I could afford that K5 ...thanks for sharing Dennis
400s are not priceless. They are kind of rare compared to the 350s, but they were only a slight step up in torque and very fragile if overheated. I like the 400s I have, but they're not priceless. I bought one to put in my 79 suburban for 400 bucks several years ago, but the most recent 400 I bought was out of a '72 impala and I paid 250 for it.
Dennis I believe that your stereo in the Blazer is a Jc Whitney. They had a kit that could run 2 different stereos so the nice one could stay hidden and for those who were unaware, they could use the factory. My dad did one on his 76 Chevette, which was the first one in Kansas City. For some reason my dad leased it for 3 years and didn't want to do anything that would cost him at the end of the deal. Love the Silver and black that you have on it. Reminds me of of an Indy pace car colors. Excellent score and the Jeep is coming along bad ass.
I had a 1979 K-5 Blazer with a 400 small block and every option available, it had two pages to the window sticker! AWD with a transfer case! Wish that I had it back, I sold it to my mechanic when I moved out of Washington state over twenty years ago. I've only seen one in Hemmings in the last five years, they are rare trucks!
Hey Dennis. I see you found another of Minnesota’s hidden treasures. First y’all scored that sweet Boss 9. Now this! I frequent the French Lake Auto Recyclers as it’s close to our lake house. Can’t overlook the Windy Hill salvage yard . Both are amazing. With this pandemic thing, I have time on my hands. If I can help you out in any way. I’d be more than happy to assist. Seeing that K-5 makes me wish I had my Frost White 86 Blazer with the factory forged aluminum wheel upgrade. For the longest time I was the only one around with those wheels. All others had Rally rims. I like yours easy better though with the Black and Silver. Could’ve used that motor too. My 305 only had 165 hp. Then I discovered Jeep’s! I have 2 now and have hade a half dozen of them. I know you’re a wrangler kind of man. Don’t judge too harshly as I really love my XJ’s!! So fun! Thanks for tolerating my rambling on. I’m heading to the cabin in a minute. Be going through Annandale in about90 minutes. Have a great day!
DENNIS AWSOME BLAZER .I HAD THE SAME ONE. BRAND NEW IN 78 SILVER BLACK TOP RALLYS SMALLER BFS.MINE HAD 350 4 BARREL DUAL EXHAUST 410 POSI REAR.RED INTERIOR WITH WHITE TRIM MY SEATS WERE VINYL HIGH BACK BUCKETS. NO POWER WINDOWS OR LOCKS.

@@Onedollarbeer the truck sits off the road so I took my zoom lens out to get the number off the windshield. I have three pics and the truck is definitely a 50-yarder. Paint and rust issues are obvious, but I’ve seen worse . I plan on calling for details tomorrow, but I can send the pics to you at anytime.
That's one super nice K5 Blazer. My 78 was a rubber floor mat, radio delete, three on the tree plain as you could get it truck. But it was an off road beast and off road it went! I didn't worry about scratching that high mile truck. Winchester Gray was a color option from Dodge in 1970. It's beautiful.
Great episode! I love the “Burger King” and that “Snowball” is beautiful. I watch these videos a lot, so I appreciate the hard work Kelsey and your team put into them. Thanks for sharing your team and their great work with us!
Dennis I remember when these were brand new! I really liked them but I had to have a Gold Edition T Top Trans AM! I kept that one till the mid 90's! When I sold it it was almost perfect with only 32K miles! I have had a lot of muscle cars & some that were faster than the TA but man it was a cool car for a young man! My daughter was a little kid then & called the Trans Am "Our Race Car"!
This truck is beautiful. Miss my 79 K5.....bought for 5k with 20k miles in 81 when I was 18. White with red interior Thought I was living large. Unlike this truck, I drove the hell out of mine, everywhere from ski trips to Colorado, Wyoming, Michigan, from Cincy , to spring breaks in Florida. Put over 200k miles on it with 1 rebuild.. A lot of fun. Nice vid !
i love these style blazers. my uncle had one for along time. bought it new. and took care of it and babied it. and in about 2000. he sold it when he retired. it was a sad day. the whole family knew how much he loved that truck. but when he sold it. he got a nice payday cause of how nice condition it was in. still like new after having it for about 15 years or so
I wish GM would go back to that kinda Blazer again! I had at one time a 72 and 76 Blazer they were a blast to drive. Dang things would go through snow and easy to park. In fact I wish I owned that one!
That 400 small block is one tough engine, let me tell you. I remember a friend bought a brand new GMC van back in 1978 with a 400 small block, boy did he beat the shit out of it, never failed.
Beautiful Blazer... Take the aftermarket grill out and put the original one back in with the Chevrolet Bowtie to give it the 100 percent original look.
Another astonishingly awesome job. You gave me the fuzzies talking about the Scottsdales though. Both my father and my uncle had a few of them. Thank you for that.
My Uncle had a Black K5 very similar to this. Memory lane to see this. On this one the black vinyl looks great and also easy to undo. Smart move. You all have a good Christmas.
Maybe we want to stir it tho? Why can’t folks even let others fix their own cup of coffee the way they want anyfrickenmore?? You fix your coffee any way you want but we are gonna continue to stir the Fuc out of it cause that’s the way we like it!!!
hey dennis thanx for that lil tidbit about the spiral shocks,....had no idea they were faactory ,..still have them on the front of my K10 since 84 i guess....
I went to a salvage yard a year ago looking for some parts for a 86 Chevy short bed, there was a 79 GMC Jimmy in perfect condition that somebody scrapped and the title was sent in as salvage. it made me sick to my stomach. I'm glad someone understood the value of that Blazer to call you
sweet blazer -- BUT I own bought brand new & 1987 Chevy Silverado K10 short box with every factor option even dual gas tanks 2 tone grey & black with black interior first yr 350 fuel injection last yr of the square box body style with how many miles on it ---- wait for it 490 original miles yes 490 giddy up
Well done, You mad a great job of this looks amazing, I think you made the right call on the wrap it looks good and will add good protection too.. 100%
Love what you did with these 2 also im like you a big fan of BFG all terrain tyres for my own truck. Thanks for such good entertainment love all your videos
Bought a 76 Blazer used because my truck would not carry all the kids. Was loaded and my wife loved it except for the color ( it was butterscotch) Sand blasted it a few years later and painted it white. It has aluminum mags and just shone!!!!! 8 years later I sold it for what I had in it and bought a van ( darn) Should have parked it out back. Best running 400 I had Hind sight is 20/20 Great rig in the snow
If that's a late month build '78 it may be called Saratoga Silver (code 17), but could have the slightly lighter color, which that does look like, that they switched to for the '79 model year which uses the same code 17 as the 78, but is called Mystic Silver Metallic and is just slightly lighter than the deeper Saratoga. They ran the '78's and '79's down the same line at the same time with slight changes in the frames, some interior panels, and the hood had a slight detail ridge change from the '78, so it could be a '78 body but was in line at the time they changed the code 17 paint shade. We owned a a '78 and the silver on it was a darker silver than my dad's friends '78 blazer and they both were called Saratoga Silver but ours was an early year model and his was a late year model.
The same thing happened to me. I ordered a 2015 Ford F250 in Emrald green because I liked the emarald green I saw on a 2014 F250. My 15 arrived much darker....almost black unless the sun was hitting it just right
Oh man if I had any money at all or the amount asked for that blazer I would definitely take it. Absolutely gorgeous vehicle. Stunning condition and probably runs if it were brand new! -Sean from Ohio
I worked at a Chevy dealer in the late '70s and into the '80s and there were brand new cars coming right off the car carriers that didn't have matching silver panels. Vans, pickups, that silver was terrible for that. The dealer also owned a Toyota franchise across the street and they owned a truck that I plowed snow in Michigan, 2 lots and 100s of driveways and towed a 1977 Corolla rally car on a trailer. 1978 K Blazer with a 400 with a Western plow. We traveled all over the country and into Canada. Chevy never let us down.
Denis, l know thar 400 SB were notorious for overheating. I have a friend who did everything he could think of to correct the problem. Finally he put a Eldelbrock high volumn pump on it which fixed the problem. Just thought l would mention that if you haven't heard of or run into the problem.
I've not understood Alex's place in this series-until now. He's a gem and Dennis is smart to have him on the team.
I love how Dennis treats his employees. Really stand up guy.
no boyd coddington stile there.
The same as Richard Rawlings does tho his employees
@@hemligagosta6554 Boyd was a ass for sure
You really think he is the nice guy when the camera is off? Oh come on...

Some of my best conversations have been with myself.

So many shows use cheap cameras , with yours it’s perfect video!!! Bravo!! No BIGFOOT footage!!!
Absolutely beautiful K5 such great color combo. My heart skipped a beat when he almost bonked the edge of the door on that 4.0 engine.
That is a 400 cubic inch small block, had one!
Dennis is a good dude that's why he's blessed.
0 miles 0 owners 1 of 1 Holy grail super rare, probably the best in the world 🌍💯⚡🗺️🌎
It had miles put on it and had a previous owner, though.

Keeping the original color under the vinyl, Dennis your an Artistic Genius
Tom Temen *you're
I'm a huge K5 fan and now Dennis has had 2 of the slickest examples I've ever seen!
Dennis needs a TV show, like yesterday.
Idk why discovery hasnt. They did misfit garage with richard but maybe dennis dosnt want it
@@johncoinas I think Dennis is too humble and nice. He is a true American.
I think he's to busy to do a TV show and probably has turned them down many of times

If you hadn’t said it’s vinyl. I would’ve never known. It looks great.

That Blazer is simply beautiful
My Grandfather had one very similar to this one that we rode to the lake place in for many years. It had the small wheel and tire combo you mentioned. Certain roads during the trip she would buck up and down for miles. He held on to it till the body rusted away thanks to the Minnesota winters. Love this example you now own!

Outstanding blazer K5 one of the most cleanest tuck I've seen most of those truck are driven to the ground awesome find Dennis 👍👍
Mr.Collins that Blazer is Beautiful sir.Your shop is awesome sir you guys do beautiful work
just here to see where Dennis decides to forget his coffee this week :)
All most lost it on that blazer
These square body trucks and blazers look so much better 2 tone...had a 78 step side 4x4 it just had a 305 in it but that was the purest running truck I've ever owned...also 100% agree on the BFG tires
Freaking AWESOME truck! I bought a ‘99 Yukon from Sewell (last year of the square body style). It was 4x4, 4 door, platinum silver (basically the same as the silver on this ‘78), tan leather interior and loaded. I had Sewell add the black fender flairs and skid plates. Yes, it had high miles (120k when. we sold it), but I’m anal about my vehicles and it was ALWAYS serviced, always 9n Michelin’s, and I had a binder with all that paperwork, from window sticker to every receipt for all the maintenance.
DK.... I very much enjoy your vids. and your true enthusiasm! No fake with you. Merry Christmas.
Oh boy. The blazer was Hollywood bad ass truck.😊😊 I love so much the truck and I like the color.
Knowledge,passion and successfull business owner. This is cool too watch.
That K5 is beautiful... that 400 is priceless. I have a 1979 K30 crew cab with the original 400 I love those engines and my truck . Wish I could afford that K5 ...thanks for sharing Dennis

Dennis I believe that your stereo in the Blazer is a Jc Whitney. They had a kit that could run 2 different stereos so the nice one could stay hidden and for those who were unaware, they could use the factory.

Love the Silver and black that you have on it. Reminds me of of an Indy pace car colors. Excellent score and the Jeep is coming along bad ass.
Good day sir, to you and your family and have a great Christmas. Thanks for the films and teaching us all about the jeep comp.

Correct me if I am wrong but those door mirrors did not come out till 1980, in 1978 they had the 3 bar style mirrors on the doors.

Cant believe thats a wrap.. LOVE black and silver two tones..
My first vehicle in 1982, when I was 16, was a 1978 Blazer all black, loved that truck!
That 400 small block is one tough engine, let me tell you.
I remember a friend bought a brand new GMC van back in 1978 with a 400 small block, boy did he beat the shit out of it, never failed.
These Blazers just look so damn good when they're not all beat up. I'd love to own one someday.
I love how Dennis presents the projects; that K-5 is Amazing!
Great episode! Alex did a great job in this video!
That guy he always has in his videos needs to start his own RUclips. The way he explained everything was clear precise and easy to understand.
Great job Dennis . Iam surprised we haven't seen Richard on your videos yet. Lol
Dennis either has such enthusiasm for his Jeeps and Trucks or it's to much coffee! Great show show as usual 👍
Another absolutely gorgeous truck.
Beautiful Blazer... Take the aftermarket grill out and put the original one back in with the Chevrolet Bowtie to give it the 100 percent original look.
Beautiful K5, my uncle had one just like this one,color combo and the red interior exactly the same!
Wow! The Jeep knowledge you have is amazing. Can tell you lived it. You are one heck of a commentator, it's fun to watch your videos.
We used 400 small blocks to build sprint car engines back in the early 80's. Great engines.
Had a 76 GMC Jimmy with the 400. Great trucks.
I had a '70 K5 in High School & later had a CJ7. Drinkin' coffee whilst watching this. Great vids as always, thanks!!

My Uncle had a Black K5 very similar to this. Memory lane to see this. On this one the black vinyl looks great and also easy to undo. Smart move. You all have a good Christmas.
I recommend you add the cream to the cup before adding the coffee and you will not have to use the coffee stir
Maybe we want to stir it tho? Why can’t folks even let others fix their own cup of coffee the way they want anyfrickenmore??
You fix your coffee any way you want but we are gonna continue to stir the Fuc out of it cause that’s the way we like it!!!
I always think that, ya know?
I have some other suggestions too;)
Don't care how he makes it just as long he doesn't drink it in front of Goldie as us Brits prefer tea 🤣 don't you know.
That K5 is sick, doesn't hurt i too was made in 78
The word for this truck and video is PRICELESS !

Great information. Great Story Mr. Dennis.
Wow! What a great idea to toning the truck with vinyl that you can remove. Awesome
Alex has my dream job. Love him in the videos. Give him a raise!
Roll up windows on the Blazer? 👎
That is a beautiful K5. I would love to have that truck.
I been watching coffe walk seen every episode love the content I've never heard Alex disagree with Dennis . Not once!, 🤐🤐🤐🤔🤔🤔
Absolutely beautiful example of a perfect solid truck. Unfortunately they don't make trucks and suvs like that anymore! 👍👍❤🔥
Love the commitment to keep it ...or any vehicle original!

Love what you did with these 2 also im like you a big fan of BFG all terrain tyres for my own truck. Thanks for such good entertainment love all your videos
Bought a 76 Blazer used because my truck would not carry all the kids. Was loaded and my wife loved it except for the color ( it was butterscotch) Sand blasted it a few years later and painted it white. It has aluminum mags and just shone!!!!! 8 years later I sold it for what I had in it and bought a van ( darn) Should have parked it out back. Best running 400 I had Hind sight is 20/20 Great rig in the snow
Choosing the Black for 2 tone was the right choice, made the over all appeal Special & Just Right. Awesome K5. ~~~ Romon in Review
If that's a late month build '78 it may be called Saratoga Silver (code 17), but could have the slightly lighter color, which that does look like, that they switched to for the '79 model year which uses the same code 17 as the 78, but is called Mystic Silver Metallic and is just slightly lighter than the deeper Saratoga. They ran the '78's and '79's down the same line at the same time with slight changes in the frames, some interior panels, and the hood had a slight detail ridge change from the '78, so it could be a '78 body but was in line at the time they changed the code 17 paint shade. We owned a a '78 and the silver on it was a darker silver than my dad's friends '78 blazer and they both were called Saratoga Silver but ours was an early year model and his was a late year model.
You know your squares bud ..bout as good as I do lol
The same thing happened to me. I ordered a 2015 Ford F250 in Emrald green because I liked the emarald green I saw on a 2014 F250. My 15 arrived much darker....almost black unless the sun was hitting it just right
Oh man if I had any money at all or the amount asked for that blazer I would definitely take it. Absolutely gorgeous vehicle. Stunning condition and probably runs if it were brand new!

Good to see this in you tube
Absolutely beautiful Blazer
That is a BEAUTIFUL truck!
I worked at a Chevy dealer in the late '70s and into the '80s and there were brand new cars coming right off the car carriers that didn't have matching silver panels. Vans, pickups, that silver was terrible for that.
The dealer also owned a Toyota franchise across the street and they owned a truck that I plowed snow in Michigan, 2 lots and 100s of driveways and towed a 1977 Corolla rally car on a trailer. 1978 K Blazer with a 400 with a Western plow. We traveled all over the country and into Canada. Chevy never let us down.
Love these old Blazers.
Denis, l know thar 400 SB were notorious for overheating. I have a friend who did everything he could think of to correct the problem. Finally he put a Eldelbrock high volumn pump on it which fixed the problem. Just thought l would mention that if you haven't heard of or run into the problem.
Awesome truck! Glad you thought twice about sitting your coffee down with all of that paper work.
