wow, wheels looks great. Cant wait to see it back together

classicchev · 05-12-2012, 10:40 PM

A few more pieces to the puzzle.. Got my front tires mounted and installed and got a few boxes from Dutchman axles. Got the diff fit, so now the Blazer actually rolls again.

PHAT TONY · 05-12-2012, 11:38 PM

Holy jeeze; you get John Forces signature on that diff?

VA72C10 · 05-12-2012, 11:56 PM

Nice!!!

classicchev · 05-21-2012, 08:52 PM

Finally outside pictures and its not on a trailer.. Next time I will be posting pics of the dismantling process....

Second picture is almost ride height!! The back is not fully down, I have to remove the bags to get it to sit on the step notch, will go another 2 1/2 ", so it should sit almost level.

Sure feels good to get a little something done, now the fun stuff starts, I love doing the frames.

VA72C10 · 05-21-2012, 08:58 PM

Slammed66 · 05-21-2012, 09:28 PM

Darren That looks rad as hell..... that is all...

babyblueoval · 05-21-2012, 09:38 PM

Looks awesome......

Is it just me or are those rear tires going the wrong direction?

mcbassin · 05-21-2012, 10:24 PM

Holy CRAP! just Wow.

gringoloco · 05-22-2012, 12:04 AM

Very nice! Did you remove the rear blocks with the new axle? It used to sit all the way in the notch...

Watching for this one to come together (after it comes apart)

Gringo,

I like your new avatar.

classicchev · 05-22-2012, 09:32 AM

I did not put all the blocks back in , and there is no perches on the axel either. I just want ed to be able to move it, hell I even put the diff in upside down hence the backwards pattern on the rubber!!!!

big_al_71 · 05-22-2012, 09:59 AM

Terrific stance.....

Bennett68C10 · 05-22-2012, 10:46 AM

Very nice ride! That would really haul with a Duramax in it!

classicchev · 08-01-2012, 09:18 PM

no duramax in here.. Stroked Big Block all the way.

classicchev · 03-24-2013, 12:51 AM

So now I finally get to ruin it!!!! I think Im going to continue on this thread with my build, since there are so many things Chris did before I got it.

Its been way too long for this one to be sitting idle, but I do have alot of cool stuff to put on it. Going to have a couple buddies come over and have a "session" to see what cool ideas we can come up with.

Pulled it out of storage and started working on it this afternoon. Plan is to blow it all apart, Porterbuilt it up the frame some more, put all my parts from the shelf onto the Blazer, and see what I come up with.

Body is in decent shape, but the more I tear into it, the more I get to see. I was hoping to leave the paint alone, but I for some reason I think that is going to change.

Couple pics of the 3 hours I got to work on it, now the body is ready to be lifted off.

72BlckButy · 03-24-2013, 01:14 AM

Always loved this blazer.

Glad to see it's back under the knife.

Ooooooooooooooooooohhhh!!! Here we go!

What kind of stuff are you running into? I always thought she was pretty solid, but never got to tear into the body much...
