So the booster seems fine now that you adjusted the pedal nut? I have been eyeballing one of these for awhile now and I may go ahead and get one..

I have to agree....it's a ton of work and cash...

I'm planning for my next build to start off with a project truck that got abandoned that's close to completion....like the blazer I just picked up.

It's going slow as I've been out of town on business and then when in town I've been helping friends or going to Church meetings. Or, like today, watching my daughters while my wife goes to a women's meeting at church.
But man, the PO has around 15K in receipts NOT counting his countless hours of labor. It's been nice starting in on a project at this stage. If I really wanted I could still change the look which I have with chrome bumpers and grille going in instead of white, different interior than the PO had planned. If I wanted to, I could have changed the color but I like the factory color anyways so it's a keeper and saves some work with the dash, jams, and firewall being completed already.

cut the bed rail to clear the blazer tank and put the bed on the truck. not good it has to much of a rake . i could go another 2" in the back end.

Hollywood Knight · 05-24-2010, 12:18 AM

any pics of 4/6 or 5/7 drops ? i think the rear springs are 5" on my truck and thought they were 6" drop hmmmm.

Hollywood Knight · 05-24-2010, 12:19 AM

I want to run 18s and 20s

Hollywood Knight · 05-26-2010, 07:38 PM

my friend Kyle came over today with a coys 20" for the front to see how they would fit and man they looked good. 22s for the rear with a 7" drop should be just right. now I need to come up with the cash.

northern 85 · 05-26-2010, 08:12 PM

Wow looking great!!

VA72C10 · 05-26-2010, 09:43 PM

yep, that'll work

sergio rios · 05-26-2010, 10:38 PM

Hollywood Knight · 06-10-2010, 12:52 AM

Hollywood Knight · 06-25-2010, 10:40 PM

new wheels and tires today. door paint doesn't match can you tell hmmm.

Hollywood Knight · 06-26-2010, 07:07 PM

One step forward two steps back . looks like the truck will be bagged in the rear . the front looks good but what do I know . still to much of a rack for me so I might have some parts for sale.

b&a72 · 06-26-2010, 09:13 PM

Project looks good! Where in Mesa are you?
