They were swapped into the Blazer to complete a matched set of Slams all around. There was apparently a worldwide shortage of RE7s at the time, so I ended up with the then brand new to the market Doms. They perform similarly, but have a softer feel. I will prolly swap back to Slams (SS6s this time) when and if these wear out...

Check out the suspension forum here for answers on how to mount them up. LOTS of guys have done this swap. Good luck!

Congratulations, she's a beauty. Truck looks good too . Mine was broke down during my wedding, I wanted the same kind of photos but had to use my dad's '48 f*rd truck.

If I didn't mention it before, tell your new bride I said she's better lookin' than the truck (and I'm a truck guy ).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks, man. I think the truck is done for now, excepting knick-knacks. My wife wants a '67 fastback 'stang, but she has a liking for fast and handling, so we may be able to work a deal for some go-fast goodies for the truck soon. I'd like to make it a low budget auto-crosser Still looking for progress on the Blazer- I'd love to see that thing finished...
