Re: I'm falling in love with my blazer again!

Looking good man! Are the rear bedsides behind the rear wheels the same dimension (length) on Blazers and SWB trucks? I thought the Blazers were shorter there as well as in wheelbase but I don't see any cut lines on the rear of your new bedsides.

Thanks Friz, The swb sides are about 6" longer than blazer maybe these pics will help.

Thats some flowmasters thats been in our shop for a while so I saved a little cash and used them.Since it is a convertable I did'nt want the exhaust to be to loud so I put manifolds back on and 2" pipes.I think it sounds great.
