Flat Out Autos To Show Two-Door K5 Blazer Conversion At SEMA 2021

We’ve already covered Arkansas-based customization shop Flat Out Autos and its unique K5 Blazer inspired Chevy Tahoe conversions in the past. However, the company recently took its unique Tahoe-based conversions to the next level, creating a two-door model with a shortened wheelbase for the upcoming 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

This two-door K5 Blazer conversion is based on a 2018 model year Chevy Tahoe Z71, Flat Out Autos says. Compared to the four-door model that it showed off in 2019, this two-door version has had the wheelbase shortened slightly, had two rear doors removed and received much larger rear quarter glass. The passenger seat has also been modified so it can fold forward, providing easy access to the rear seat. A pair of retro-inspired custom wheels complete the vehicle’s custom exterior appearance.

“Started life as a 2018 Z71 Tahoe,” Flat Out Autos said in a post shared to its Facebook page last week. “We shortened it a little, removed the rear doors, added larger quarter glasses and performed our K5 Tahoe Conversion using a ‘72 Grille. All airbags, parking sensors and lane keep assist are all still intact, giving you the absolute best of both worlds.”
Seeing as this unique two-door K5 Blazer conversion is based on a 2018 model year Chevy Tahoe Z71, it would have GM’s familiar 5.3L L83 Ecotec3 V8 engine under the hood, producing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, along with standard four-wheel-drive.
Flat Out Autos will have its unique two-door K5 Blazer inspired Chevy Tahoe on display at its booth at the 2021 SEMA Show, so we may learn a little bit more about this project (including the likely very high sticker price) once the show kicks off on November 2nd.

  1. Looks good. What happens to Factory Warranty? Even like the color. Retro.

    1. Wouldn’t be nice if GM would see what could have been. If they would let the real builder draw up stuff. Maybe they should dump the design team.

  2. I have a 20′ Escalade ESV and a 72′ Jimmy and that thing is absolutely awesome. This is one example of what GM failed to do!

  5. Clearly GM, along with Ford and Dodge, could do the same and if ADVERTISED CORRECTLY these 2DR real suv’s would sell, at least as a limited run loss leader or even at a profit to the loyal specialty vehicle customer, much like Dodge does with it ‘s Challenger. This is true of other recent “slow sellers” that these manufacturers discontinue for lack of sales. Each and every vehicle recently discontinued; the Buick LaCrosse as one example, did not sell because of customer dissatisfaction with the car but simply because GM did everythihg it could in order to justify discontinuation , from not advertising it to actually making fun of it in the few ads they did run.

  6. The color scheme reminds me of my dad’s 1964 Chevy Carryall truck with a blue body and white top. I used to have a 1978 Chevy Blazer that I loved and wish I had never sold it. Would be nice if Chevy still built plane old-style trucks instead of these luxury-style vehicles with all the fancy dude dads.
