The Dropmember will bolt-in to the 4WD chassis as is... we have already converted a 72 blazer in house, and others have purchased the Dropmember to do the same. The blazer we did had already been converted with factory components... making the install straight-forward. I can get pretty wierd about the way things fit and look... the 4WD chassis is slightly different up front and the Dropmember doesn't fit quite as "perfectly" as I would like. I am currently searching for a clean 4WD chassis to use for the new design. I can then modify the design where necessary, and supply accurate measurements for the install (assuming that the frame has not already been converted). I have a 74 4WD blazer awaiting some of my "free time", but haven't found a 4WD chassis for the 67-72 yet .

I'll have my 4wd chassis available here in AR after the 2wd is shortened.
Might take an hour or two to come get it though.

Driving to Texas ONCE A YEAR is enough for me! Arkansas... not a chance!

Oh come on!!!!

I come to see you and take lots of pics and you can't even come out to pick up a chassis?

I can't believe that. That hurts.





I'm gonna try to sell it as a rolling chassis anyway so no matter. I knew it was WAY too far but wanted to offer in case you got a wild hair and wanted to try for a ticket in another state.

okay i was just checking as I have a stock crossmember i was going to install in mine with bags and from what I have found online is the 4wd frame is stepped more in the front so it sits lower to start with, is this true?

Lame? Tell that to my 2 and 4 year old daughters! I had the pleasurable experience of going on the "It's a Small World" ride SEVERAL times!

I will be at the Del Mar Goodguy's show this next April.

Being at Disneyland and working with Mickey Mouse are two different things.
