Re: 1971 K20- project just get driveable!!

I measured another set of pads that came preloaded on the stock front calipers and they are 0.020" thinner so I will just put them on and keep an eye on rotor temp. It sure would stink to warp them and have to replace, since they are behind the hub on these.

Ryan and Ryan, thanks for the input on the drop arm. OlBlueK20, I'm sure skyjacker would say run a drop arm but they have a drop arm they sell for the lift kit. Given that, they are inherently biased with advice to sell more parts.

Probably not in the C-10 either. Too much salt out there now.

Will just have to settle for the company car Fusion with the free gas and fold down rear seat for the long parts.

And I can help you out no problem. Bumpers get a little unwieldy don't they.
Bah, throw some warm clothes on or a top on the blazer and rock it that way! Either way, sounds good on the bumper
