frame mock up with 700r4 transmission moving engine forward using the stock location of the Transfer case to reuse driveshaft original locations (no cutting of driveshafts) along with stock linkage being installed. Oh yea, used the advance adapter output shaft in the 700r4.

How close is your front driveshaft to trans pan, modifications there,any problems?Doing same. Trans is back home from build in couple days,double cardan may get in my way,ready to mock mine up as well. Thanks for any replies or moe pics.

Re: 1972 blazer frame off project
 
By using a stock pan, it will work ok. Not alot of clearance but I do not have to beat in the corner of the pan. With the driveshaft moving up and down will not hit the stock pan in any way....

Stock trans pan works, no whacking or mods required. Thanks.

Engine set into frame. Looking to get headers bolted in. Not sure exactly which headers I am going to go with at this time. I have some used ones bolted up

I read these threads and I am just amazed how y'all just take your trucks apart. I have a fair amount of mechanical ability. I can turn a wrench, I can weld (with the help of a good grinder) and I have an eye for detail. But taking my truck down to the frame scares me more than a little. But y'all give me hope. I love it. Now, all I need is a place to work, as my one car garage won't cut it.

Just showing my other project. 72 2wd jimmy

Re: 1972 blazer frame off project
 
Very cool on the recent progress!

Also need to see more specs and pix of the 2wd model. What are the plans for that one?

YoungPup1977 04-19-2019 04:03 PM

Re: 1972 blazer frame off project
 
On the 72 2wd jimmy planning on full off frame restore. The frame, Trailing arms, rear diff and front suspension has been powder coated. Just tossed the body on to gather it all in one pile for now. More focus on Finishing the 71 blazer 4x4 for now. I may start a new thread on the 2wd jimmy in the future plus I have two more 72 blazers to restore.

The windshield frame is in good shape on this 71. Sandblast and sand than apply the epoxy primer. Moving in the right direction....

Picked up a nice single wall hard top along with a good hatch with hardware. I was wondering if sliders would work in a single wall or where they for the double wall top ?
