Great looking drop on that. Still amazes me how fast you got everything done on that swap. Any news on the 4x4?

doc70sub · 12-19-2005, 06:21 PM

I'm really starting to hate this thread.....it'll lead to a K-5 being torn apart @ my shop in the very near future!!

Looks great!!

when it comes to chevy trucks i just can't leave any bolt unturned

sixty8c10 · 01-04-2006, 12:08 AM

time for some more pics...
here's one of my blaze next to my buddy's 4wd 91 blaze

i finally tracked down the guy that got the pick-up....he's made a little progress too...here's a pic

only other progress i have made on the blaze this far is replacing the cut coils with drop spindles (thanks crossy)

I think you've got the pearl out of the two. I love that blazer man, ALOT.

Izzy · 01-04-2006, 10:15 AM

Damn that's a nice blazer.

LOHRTBT · 01-04-2006, 03:31 PM

That is nice man....so did he wetsand the paint for you or not?? It looks like it hasnt been sanded and bufffed out??

sixty8c10 · 01-04-2006, 09:37 PM

no it hasn't been wet sanded or buffed........my 68 blew its tranny just as the blaze came out of paint, and we haven't been able to get together to buff it since......i don't mind though i still think it looks great, it matches the used wheels i got for it (haven't put them on yet)....shiny, but not really.......if i don't get it buffed soon it will most likely never get buffed, my last update on this project is coming soon...i deploy to egypt for a year in the begining of feb

SlapFish · 01-04-2006, 10:59 PM

I noticed your exhaust tips are very similar to mine. That made me happy. I hope this hasn't been mentioned before, even though I'm kinda sure it has. What kind of exhaust set-up you got?

sixty8c10 · 01-04-2006, 11:54 PM

not sure on the brand of headers (got them from a friend), then dual 2 1/2" pipes through high flow cats then flow master 40 series then over the axle turn out to the baloney tubes...does that answer your question?

sixty8c10 · 01-05-2006, 09:01 AM

i was looking at these pictures yesterday, and the scars on my knuckles.... i was thinking MAN THAT WAS ALOT OF HARD WORK!
before:

after:

i am gonna try to get the blaze buffed before i leave the country....otherwise i am gonna have to say that this project is far from done, but done for now.

uplandhawaii · 01-05-2006, 02:29 PM

Aloha! Awesome build! I have similar plans for a 77 sub I picked up, although I'll be lifting it.
Sounds like our work schedules are similar so I am inspired and impressed that you did so much in a short period of time! Your build up is my guide line for my sub project.
Big Mahalo's for the inspiration, I'm gonna get off my butt and do a little work on the sub now!

1974gmc · 01-11-2006, 07:31 PM

what happens with your registration after u swap the drivetrain? how do u go about changing it so the 2wd will say its 4x4?

sixty8c10 · 01-18-2006, 11:53 PM

1974gmc- you can't change your registration without changing your vin, and that's not legal so we won't do that.....if i am wrong someone will chime in and correct me i'm sure.

here is the last update on this project, got new rims (thanx greenvilledave), tires,and a rear bumper.....the next project will be on the 67-72 board, but it will even harder for me to update as my 68' is going in the shop and i am going to egypt. any way here is the pics

**N2TRUX** · 01-18-2006, 11:59 PM

Looks good bro. Maybe the GM center caps will work on those wheels...

BTW Welcome to the forum uplandhawaii!

doc70sub · 01-20-2006, 11:33 PM

Love the wheels.....like to have some for my '70 Sub!!

OJOE · 01-21-2006, 10:02 AM

looks great

milehightoyz · 03-22-2006, 06:50 PM

wow, first time ive been on to check your progress in awhile! that thing looks wicked!!! awesome job, i wish mine was close to done. never enough hours in a day. job well done!!! looks incredible, all those long hours and busted knuckles paid off.

sixty8c10 · 03-23-2006, 02:25 AM

i got some other plans in mind for it, but now i am no longer in the country and my 68 finally went in for a ground up rebuild, so it will have to wait.

thanks for all the compliments, they really kept me going

TEAM THC · 03-23-2006, 05:07 PM

wow. that was quite the project. the result looks great. i really like the look of a slammed blazer. nice job!

sanmateocarclub · 03-08-2010, 08:19 PM

Do u think it culd hav been done with out pullen the motor out of the blazer?

Damon23 · 03-08-2010, 10:32 PM

Doubt it. The engine crossmembers are rivited in on the 4wd's. It would be very tight trying to get it out...

Wow this thread is 4 years old!!! Looks like the OP is still active on this forum so maybe he can answer your question. Might be better to PM him it though.
