Looks like it's going to be sweet

Why did you have to make a homemade rocker box? My rocker boxes are in real good shape

Can't wait, take lots of pics. for us pls. Measurements will help ya also, just for referance, but with the bracing it mite be redundant

Yesterday has become today

The one on the driver's side was eaten all up. The patch panel is like $150.

Looks like a good start. You will also (99%) need the lower A pillar and the inner rockers as most of us have had to do this as well. Just do one side at a time before moving on and their is plenty of reference material here on the site to check with if you need to.

Here are a few to start with~

Havent had a chance to work on the Blazer much this week but i did snatch up a nice piece to redo the dash!

I am going to smooth the entire dash except for the gauge and fill it with a 55 Chevy Dakota Digital gauge.

**Palf70Step** · 11-24-2008, 10:22 PM

Man, you and I have to meet up. I need to see your toys close hand!!

*1sik52* · 11-24-2008, 10:44 PM

No problem, maybe next week we can get together and check out each others vehicles

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-27-2008, 08:13 PM

VA72C10 · 01-01-2009, 09:15 PM

Will be watching when you get a chance to work on it...

*1sik52* · 06-07-2009, 02:44 PM

Ok, Sorry I havent had a chance to show any updates in a while but despite how bad economy has been I have been so busy I have not had time to work on my toys. But that is all about to change. Several weeks ago I bought the Porterbuilt Dropmember from VA72C10 (Thanks!!!) and I just purchased a 2001 LS1 to go in this thing. I will post some pics up soon because I am anxious to start building this thing! Next purchase is some new 20x8.5 up front and 22x12s for the rear! Cant Wait.

**Nobby** · 06-07-2009, 03:31 PM

I hate to remind you but you got 16 weeks before Cruisin the Coast.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-07-2009, 03:52 PM

22 x 12's, your gonna cut the crap out of the rear to fit those.
Are you going to go with a 4 link bag system too? (Don't think
much of anything else will fit back there after you narrow it)

VA72C10 · 06-07-2009, 04:06 PM

Glad you're getting to work on it. Can't wait to follow along...Hopefully I'll get a blazer project soon myself

It may be done "enough" to bring it over there on a trailer. I'll just have to see how much time I have in between now and then......

. The 68 will definitely be there,

my67chevytruck · 06-09-2009, 08:33 AM

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-09-2009, 02:12 PM
