The Colorado ZR2 might be the most capable off-roader Chevy has ever built, but if this perfect K5 Blazer is anything to go by, one small change could make it better.

It was America’s favorite vehicle for beer runs to the lake. The good times, good friends, good vibes 4x4. Utility vehicles had been around for decades; this is the one that added “sport” to the equation. Chevrolet’s ads pushed it as a practical truck for far-flung enterprises that extended past where roads dared go. But no one believed that. The original 1969 K/5 Blazer was about fun.

There’s nothing wrong with how the 10L80 operates, but that many gears are overkill in this application. The point of having all those cogs is to ace the EPA driving cycle and squeeze every drop of fuel economy out of GM’s production vehicles. That doesn’t apply in a restomod beast. One of GM’s older six- or even four-speed automatics would likely be as easygoing as the ten-speed.
