Awe man... Sorry! I didn't realize you already bought the brother's piece... I'm it would sell quick on the classifieds if you do decide to sell it though.

Re: '72 Blazer 4wd getting all the best

Just ordered the New Hydroboost system. Can not wait to start throwing it all together, as I know mock up sucks, but worth it in the end.

Yea the Coil covers are nice, but make sure you have the room to bolt them on. If I was installing a LS1 in the 2wd crossmember. I would hit the firewall and they would not work. They are as big as a big block Valve cover.

Tallon Hydrolics, Nice guy told him what I was doing and he is setting it up to send all the appropriate fittings for a LS-1 and the correct pump, with the correct steering box.

Very Very nice guy

Is this specifically made to bolt to the 67-72 firewall and use the stock pedal linkage?

Yep, I had it bolted up and linked to the stock pedal in less then 10minutes. Just Call Tallon and the will get you everything you need for what you are doing.
It was a great experience to talk to someone that new what the motor was from the Steering is a 2wd box for the crossover steering, and then all the connections needed with the T-Splices.

The Frame, Channel. I can get a pic. But it will be awhile it is at a place getting stuff done, and I don't get there often.

If you look @ the Mount. You will see it has a bracket that slides on the end of the tube. You see the (4) bolt holes. We made a C Channel that slides in the frame notch. This allowed us to bolt that were we needed it, and then we bolted the cross member to it.

If that don't help I will try and post pictures the only ones I have right now is it sitting on the bottom rail of the frame.

Re: '72 Blazer 4wd getting all the best

Had to upload this pic. I am a little excited to see the gauges in the Billet housing so much I could not wait to show it with the the cut out it is getting to flush mount the shift indicator, and with the powder coating, and polishing done.

I took this about a month ago, and forgot to show it off. Ow well it is getting a lot of work done right now.

Yeh, I think I put that on the first post. It shows I am doing an Ididit Black powder coated column.

I don't know what that has to do with Remote Locks though?

You can use the ididit fob for other functions like door lockes etc.

Re: '72 Blazer 4wd getting all the best

I noticed the push button start! Where did you get that one from? I am looking into one too because the stock ignition switch no longer fits in mine. Awesome Build! keep the updates coming.

I did a search and found them in China, I contacted them as they are a supplier and they allowed me to purchase just one. I think it is rather good quality. I will find out soon.

I paid about 375.00

Yeh no more pictures, this project has turned a corner.

I found out from the Body guy even before he got started that the frame May be tweeked, He thinks It has either seen a ditch or something. As I do not want to find out, and or put up fighting it all its life if it is true, redoing all that has been done, crossmember, etc....

I am thinking about swithing gears and using everything on my 67 truck. gotta love the interchangable parts.
