bmfpeterson · 02-25-2011, 06:50 PM

very nice bob!

what is the rear tire size? surly they are wider than 12"??????? they look perfect! are they mickey Thompson street radials?

bobshotrodblazer · 02-25-2011, 10:41 PM

29/18's Mickey Thompson street radials. Just put on new weld drag lites. The old weld wheels were bent.

bmfpeterson · 02-25-2011, 10:49 PM

What rear suspension are you running? I am hoping to run my trailing arms and bags with at least a 15" wide tire, I cut my bed to the frame trying to get as wide as possible......... thankks for the input!

Bob, nice build dude! Awesome truck! There is no substitute for cubic inch!

bobshotrodblazer · 02-25-2011, 11:11 PM

Stock 12 bolt rear , tubbed the fenders ..you have to pull the ebrake cable out of the way and put in a adjustable stablizer bar to keep the bed centered around those big meats. this is another truck I built

Yep thats me

rizdif · 02-26-2011, 04:11 PM

Hey bobshotrodblazer,

Where did you get that diamond-plate material for the bed on that beauty? Was it "kit" form or just custom-cut/applied? It looks so much sweeter than the stock bed replacement I've been thinking about.

FL71C10 · 02-26-2011, 04:58 PM

Here's a 71 GMC I owned about 8 or 9 years ago.

I like the bed dress up you just gave me an idea for mine I have a friend that owns a metal fab co. he will get me the sheets for cost and just charge for cutting.

I was fortunate enough to have a sheet metal shop in the same warehouse as my project . I measured and made patterns and he broke the diamond plate.

I am a new member, great site. I have spent about six hours browsing pictures and researching VIN and option codes. I have a 1972 Cheyenne(pictures attached) and have just bought a '72 Blazer. The previous owner of the Cheyenne replaced the bumpers, mirrors, a few emblems and the headliner. I replaced the instrument bezel and put the matching woodgrain decals on the glove box door and ashtray. I know these are not original to the non-super Cheyenne, but I like the look. The truck was repainted and the seat was recovered sometime in the '80s. I think the bed rails were added as well. The truck is air conditioned and has been converted to the newer refrigerant. I am interested in buying new reproductions of the original full wheel covers, could someone suggest a source?

**72 Super** · 02-27-2011, 05:08 PM

Welcome to the board! That is a very nice looking truck, very nice. As far as the wheel covers go you will have find some clean used or NOS, as they are not being reproduced.
