Re: intro and project...K5 2X

That's funny I've been waiting that long for this blazer from an uncle of mine and had to move quick on it before he wanted it back.lol

It killed him when I took out the front axle and told him my plans.

Re: intro and project...K5 2X

What did you use for the rear suspension?
Looks like the Impala rearend worked perfectly.

Also,... can you post the wheel/tire specs?

Re: intro and project...K5 2X

If I didn't use mine for towing and/or wanted to keep my factory A/C box, I would totally of gone this route.

Very smooth.

Re: intro and project...K5 2X

Very nicely done. I'm looking at a '82 OG 2WD K5 this weekend ... I can only dream that if I get it it'll turn out 1/2 as well as yours. Great stance.
