That's how the Tru Trac is set up. It looks worse in this pic but from above isnt so bad.

Cool, I really like the use of Chevy orange on the engine with black accessories. Looking forward to more updates. :)

Re: Larry

There are two different LS Tru-Tracs.
A "top mount" and a "side mount".

Tuned in to drool. But I'm warning ya, I reserve the right to steal ideas for my Blazer. 2000 miles erases any plagiarism accusations. :lol: :metal:
(Not to mention my Blazer will take so long, this one will be getting restored again before I am finished)

Cool! I tuned into this build hoping to see something like this. I know Nate has been wanting to put something together for conversions for a few years now.

Looks good so far- I'm in.

Re: Larry

Looking good! I had been thinking of giving up on my shortbox and throwing all it's parts at my blazer. I had pretty much decided against it but this thread is not helping:)

I'm curious where the issue was. I've converted a 4wd w/ arms before- it was tight, but it worked. Was it that you would not be able to lay frame due to arm/frame interference?

Oh, and we need an update :D

Re: Larry

Is this just with the 4x4 blazer frames?

Correct. The 4WD frames run straight back at a width of 34". The 2WD frame bows out over the rear differential allowing more room and clearance for the trailing arms.
