I have the glass, but have not done the install yet. I have a whole room full of parts awaiting install. LOL The grill is a full phantom. I test fit it then stored it with the rest of the parts. Ithink I got a pic.

Crank · 01-04-2003, 01:34 AM

Alright!!! That looks cool. Is that picture with the supercharger and all on there? It only comes up to there? What color is it gonna be? Thanks.

lotik · 01-04-2003, 01:38 AM

i want to know how the hell that copper colored long bed has the stock hood hinges in with the body drop on 20's. there was no way i could have used stock hinges with my twenties. but then again, the truck was in truckin so it could actually have 17's on it. any one else notice that in its feature?

Crank · 01-04-2003, 01:42 AM

Nah, it's rockin 20's. What are you saying about the feature, does it say it has 17's?
Brandon

Chevy_68 · 01-04-2003, 01:48 AM

hell yeah its on 20's

Reumster · 01-04-2003, 01:56 AM

All this talk about 20's but what about tire sizes that work well? I'm thinking a 275/45/20 Tire rack sells Goodyears for 133.00!

Also where is the cheapest place to get 20" wheels? I want to go with a 5 spoke of some sort. Thinking Stealths, or Vistas.

K5KRAZIE · 01-04-2003, 03:16 AM

This thread is dangerous!!!
I've been toying with the idea of bags and 22s!!
All the trucks on here ROCK!!!

GREEN70-72 · 01-04-2003, 06:58 AM

chevy2racr · 01-04-2003, 11:23 AM

yeah, that truck is 20s up front, youcan tell, and I was thinking the bac was 22s
Nsane. everytime I see ur truck I think about coming down there ad "borrowign" the truck andall ur pars :-) you wouldn't mind would you?

brad2 · 01-04-2003, 12:05 PM

Here is mine.

RACING29 · 01-04-2003, 01:37 PM

could someone please tell me the color on the firt truck the light blue one?!?!

Reumster · 01-04-2003, 02:58 PM

GREEN70-72 you say you have 275/45/20s upfront. Do you have any clearance issues?

brad2 what size tires you running? Man I love that blazer! Does it have bags?

ebfabman · 01-04-2003, 04:25 PM

brad, that blazer/jimmy is badazz......what wheel-tire combo is that?

GREEN70-72 · 01-04-2003, 04:46 PM

REUMSTER: AT FIRST MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WOULD SCRUB THE FENDERWELL JUST A BIT WHEN I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ON A BUMP.MY SUSPISIONS(SP?) WERE THAT IT WAS A SWAY BAR ISSUE(BUSHINGS) WELL I GOT RID OF THE 1.0625" WENT TO A 1.25" WITH POLY BUSHINGS (DONE LAST WEEKEND) AND HAVE YET TO HAVE THE TIRE HIT. TO NOTE MY OLD BUSHINGS WERE SHOT.

brad2 · 01-04-2003, 06:52 PM

I am running a 245/40/20 on a 20x8.5 in the front and 295/40/20 and 20x10 on back. The wheels are torque thrust II's. Yes it is bagged in that picture and could have been lower if I had let some air out.

Reumster · 01-04-2003, 07:03 PM

brad2 you still have it don't you? Or do I remember you getting rid of it? Do you have pictures of the tanks/valves etc... where they're mounted?

Reumster · 01-04-2003, 07:03 PM

brad2 you still have it don't you? Or do I remember you getting rid of it? Do you have pictures of the tanks/valves etc... where they're mounted?

brad2 · 01-04-2003, 07:36 PM

I still have it but it looks nothing like that now. There will be more on that later. I don't have any pics of the valves or tank.....sorry. There is very little room under ours as I am sure you are aware. I mounted a 3 gallon tank inside just behind the rear passenger wheelwell. I mounted the compressor and valves right below the tank on the frame. It would be best to fab up a shield of some sort because they catch all the spray comeing off the back tire.

lotik · 01-04-2003, 10:44 PM

i'm runnin 20x9 all the way around with 255/35/20 Nitto 555

Slammed67 · 01-05-2003, 12:08 AM

Just for a comparison...... here are my 18's......

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-05-2003, 01:06 AM

Theres some bad a$$$ trucks in this post,but i got a ? for those with bags in the rear how much of a notch did you cut and did you have to cut up the bed like the copper 72 in truckin last month...

SCOTI · 01-05-2003, 02:59 AM

brad2, I'm diggin' the blazer.

Reumster · 01-05-2003, 03:09 AM

lotik you have pictures? I just thought that 275/45/20s would give a good overall ride for 20s seeing as they are 28.9" tall cheap, and will give you a side wall of 5" that will ride ok, and still corner awsome.

FRENCHBLUE72

Most of the guys here only have a bolt on Early Classic C-notch thats very popular. I need to get one. And if you go with bags it's allmost a need modification. So the truck isn't racked when aired out.
