VT
Looking good. I like the looks especially with the hummer wheels

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I bought a set of 4 for $200 off of ebay and they sell singles quite a bit, too. I am using mine on my 72 2wd Blazer project with the 3/4 ton suspension I put under it!! I think they kinda look cool, again mine will be used on a 2wd with a 255/50 r 17 tire as the 2wd is lowered 4"/6". Very sweet, BTW I have a really nice orange Blazer gate, with the OE paint and all??

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Pulled out a couple more parts that I've been saving for this build and let em meet each other...:mm:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Very nice...what might that be out of?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Motor is just a 355 crate and the TPI is from a Vette.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Awesome!

This thing is going to be very cool.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

He said "just a 355 crate".:lol: WOW is what I say.... Any plans for some purdy/cool stuff or going bare bones?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I wondered if I'd hear something about saying it that way...;)

Fairly basic for the most part, serp belt and maybe some alloy covers, that's it though.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

:lol:
:lol: Yeah, "just an injected 355 crate", we should all be that unfortunate:lol:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

So the motor is ready as is? That's cool. Will you be cleaning it up and slapping some paint on it?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

There ya go again, bustin' on me...:floss:

It's the motor I pulled from the blue blazer in favor of the TBI'd 383 swap, it's still pretty fresh, just needs a bath.

The focus is on the build, not the bling. ;)

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Any progress over the weekend?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

That ain't bustin', that's jealousy

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Amen to that.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Gathering info, deciding on suspension...phone calls to make this week.

Gotta 'nother one...want it?

I'd like to give you a shout regarding the Alcan springs, mind pm'ing your number?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Sorry, I'm a little anxious to see this one going together. ;)

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

No worries...me too!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I didn't forget ya on the tailgate, my IP is retarded so i can get on at work but not at home and cannot shoot picts from work. Hopefully tomorrow they will come and fix it?! Looking sweet, going to run nice with the EFI!!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

No real hurry, gotta get the frame/drivetrain done before I even think about the body & paint.

Did place my order for the shackle flip, engine cross member and disc conversion last night though.

Have another rolling chassis available now too, this will allow me to work on the frame I'll be using AND have the body portable. :cool:

Found an "oops" while looking over the tub the other day...:o
Dispite how careful we were when we laid the tub back onto the chassis, we missed one body bolt and being it didn't make the hole, it raised up the bed floor some.
Not a huge ordeal but still...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

i LOVE reading this thread!! vt, you make it sound so easy. ;)

i know there's more to it than what i see, but you make it sound effortless - like you were looking for something insignificant in the garage (hmmm... where'd i put that tape measure) and "happened" to find a crate motor, tpi, and some 1 ton axles... :lol: that's freakin awesome! looking forward to hearing more progress. :mm:

bummer about the oops...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

A piece of 4x4 scrap and some persuasion will be plenty good to take care of the floor. Lookin good.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Yeah, some wood and the BFH shouyld do it fine. :lol:
2x4's fit about right between the bed ribs. ;)


Soon I'll use the wrecker to transfer the body over to the other rolling chassis that just became available and start working on the frame that it's sitting on now.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I'm on the edge of my seat...lets ROCK!!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt- I don't know if your putting big rubber on there or not; but I've got three brand new Goodyear H2 tires out here (never mounted)....let me go check the size

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Running 37" MTR's but I am looking for one more H2 rim if you've got one. ;)

Thanks for the offer.
