Mike, who did you get the spring mounts from? I am in the process of converting/perverting that burb(72) I got from you. Going to make it a 3/4 and have everything pretty much. I am going to put a 14 bolt posi out of a truck I got from Bigunde. Sticking with a trailing arm suspension so I need new trailing arm mounts for the rear axle.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve! Long time no speaky!! The orange one, man I wish I had that one back and the bronz one as well!?! As for the mounts, I just cut the mounts from the coil sprung rear I had, so if you cut the ones off the 5-bolt rear you can re-use them, but I think someone sells them new, but I am trying to do this one on the "cheap" at least as "cheap" as I can without doing it "wrong".

Man catch me up on the burbs, this white one is being built to replace the HOLE in my heart from selling the 68 to you!! I was in such a bad place when I sold both of them, I was supporting a family of five on my LOW salary. Since then I finished my Masters got a job making twice what I was and my wife went back to work once my boys were old enough to go to school. Now I have all the stuff I was missing back then (ie CASH $$$$) but have no time, well untill now!! Anyways send me some picts or post them here I don't mind!!

Turns out the Burb and my 2wd Blazer are both now for sale.

I've been out of work for a while and had two surgeries, etc, etc I believe all of this ISH is a bit of a SIGN!! Anyways the 71 Burb here is for sale as is the 72 2wd Blazer in the picts on page two.

glimmertwin01 · 02-24-2011, 10:01 PM

70rs/ss · 02-24-2011, 10:38 PM
