I love this build! that will truly be a rare truck! I actually acuired a 68 short wide CST (rollover) that was exactly like that truck featured in the article and the photoshop pics. When I purchased it back in 90 or 91 it still had the cab and part of the front clip. I scrapped everything but the frame, bed bottom and driver side bed panel because of the wreck damage. I have plans to use that bed one of these days. Anyway, I love this color scheme! keep it up!

Frizzle Fry · 08-12-2009, 12:07 AM

Wow, nice scores! On the Blazer, I think you should run 67-68 buckets with a 69-72 console. Solves the buddy seat backrest issue.

72BlckButy · 12-02-2009, 09:26 AM

Looks like a good winter driver, nice buy!

Twisted78SS · 12-02-2009, 11:26 PM

Thanks,

Yeah, I think it will work out great. It runs and drives well, just needs the usual rockers, and core support. I hope to have the grille and bumper changed this weekend, and I think that and a good cleaning will do wonders..

Pics when I get that far.

That is NICE truck! "winter driver" I can see a 4x4 build thread coming soon.
Stay focused here....blazer.

Frizzle Fry · 12-08-2009, 02:51 AM

Looks much better already! Great winter driver! I need a 4by...

LOW DOUGH · 12-08-2009, 11:16 AM

I like your winter ride!

OARNGESI · 02-24-2010, 05:58 AM

any progress

wholio · 04-01-2010, 04:55 PM

hey bro when u installed your front cross member do your remember what pre existent hole lined up?

Twisted78SS · 04-03-2010, 11:22 PM

I do, it was the one we painted some silver over.

If you look over these pic, you can see one of the original holes lined up perfect

I believe it was the middle hole of the three on the frame. I can go a take a cloer look if you need me to.

Hope this helps a bit

thanks bro, ok well here's the thing i took the suspension off of a 1967 c10 like the front cross member and the rear coil suspension , and im in the middle of installing it on my 1969 k5 blazer 4x4 frame to convert it to 2wd, well i keep measuring and it keeps making me land on the first hole not the middle hole, im thinking i measured wrong maybe from the front cross member
but idk im someone stuck on this step, the other thing is home of my homeboys already drilled the front crossmember holes =/ he said hes is 100% sure he measured right but i dont think he did, but yeaha if i was to move the trailin arm crossmemeber to the middlehole i wouldnt come close to a 104 wheel base (i measure front the middle of the rear axle to the from crossmember like the back)

wholio · 04-15-2010, 04:58 PM

heres some pictures to better describe what im talking bout, the pictures show the from cross member mounted to a persistent hole on my 1969 frame and they also show the trailing arm cross member mounted to the first hole as i stated before, and it shows where the rear axle would be if bolted down to the first hole on the stock bump stop on the 4x4 frame...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...vil.gif:smoke:

basemodel67 · 04-05-2010, 09:05 PM

Any Blazer progress? Looks good so far...

Twisted78SS · 04-06-2010, 11:55 AM

very little, but I have been collecting parts galore! Other than a few odds and ends, I have what I need to get may act together and make some progress. Hopefully with the big Portland swap meet this weekend, I will find some of the little things. I got delayed again when the new motor in my 78 took a dump, and until I figure that out my shop is overflowing with 2 trucks, 3 Blazers and parts.. which doesn't leave much room for working.

thirdstreettito · 08-31-2010, 10:31 PM

Updates?

Twisted78SS · 09-01-2010, 12:36 PM

Some updates finally..
I ordered the rest of my suspension components.. I got the Accuair goodies from Jason and some of it has already arrived. (pics soon) I also sourced all the parts for my Tach, Vac, Speed Warning, Choke Delete dash. The Choke Delete plate came in on Monday after waiting on backorder since April. I guess since the original source being used dried up, they took it upon themselves to produce new one's on their own. I'll add pictures of it tonight. My priority changed a bit over the past few months. My son is nearing driving age, and has twisted my arm to build him a 68 SWB. I had just bought a second 2wd Blazer for him in the spring, and had been working on it a little but he changed his mind. anyway, that has put the project off for some time. I also had engine issues on my 78, so it has been in the shop getting an engine swap. It's almost done, and that will free up a bay to get the tub off the frame and allow me to work on the suspension mock up and fitments. I'm itching to get back on this thing.....

pics to follow as I unpack more goodies..

VA72C10 · 09-01-2010, 07:55 PM

cool! Looking forward to the updates!

Twisted78SS · 09-01-2010, 11:08 PM

Here are the Choke Delete plates

Too many shadows but you get the idea

Time to unpack some Accuair goodies!

Twisted78SS · 09-20-2010, 11:53 PM

Got the remaining parts in from Accuair, but of course I can't seem to find any batteries for my camera. I'll get things posted ASAP. Seems what free time I have has been to work on Project Zachamachi..formerly Calico. my sons 68 daily driver project. We have until February to get it on the road when he gets his license.

Lots to do on it as it started with just the frame..

smbrouss70 · 09-03-2011, 06:47 AM

Have you made any progress on this one lately?
