I'm falling in love with my blazer again! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Nobby** · 03-08-2008, 09:29 PM

I thought the blazer was gonna whip me for a while but I think I'm gonna win the battle.It took 2 tubs,1 truck cab floor and I sacrificed my perfect swb bed floor but the rust is gone.

johnboymx · 03-08-2008, 10:01 PM

Are those repop bed sides?

**Nobby** · 03-08-2008, 10:07 PM

Yea I cut down truck bedsides.

jaros44sr · 03-08-2008, 10:31 PM

Nice build, more pics., more pics....J. Gotta love the mags

**Nobby** · 03-08-2008, 10:57 PM

This is what I started with.The pics look good but it was a pile of rust held together by dp90.

**Nobby** · 03-08-2008, 11:01 PM

Now I need a bed floor for my truck project.

jaros44sr · 03-08-2008, 11:29 PM

Big J · 03-09-2008, 07:56 AM

I'm fallin' for it too

. I'm with everyone else... More pics please.... Nice progress.

Rokcrln · 03-09-2008, 10:03 AM

Well since we have no new pics I have to keep looking at the old one's. I was looking at the first one again and I have a few questions for ya.
1) What rear end are you running? I like the amount if rim lip you are able to have on this set up.

2) How long is your trailer because that blazer is bairly on that thing in the back?

3) With as high as the trailer fenders are and how low the Blazer is it looks like the doors won't open so how do you get in and out of that when it is on the trailer?

Answers to question 1 would be good, 2 on ly if you want and 3 is what you will be getting until we get more pics

OK Rok, #1 the rearend is the factory 2wd blazer rear.

#2 my trailer is 20' but I have the blazer pulled to the back because it was easy to work on the 1/4's. I'm kinda using the trailer as my work bench.

#3The doors won't open on trailer when the blazer is aired out.

Thanks lolife99 the GMC was my pride and joy, it took me four years and a pile of $ to finish and with only 280 miles on it, my shop and house burned to the ground with the GMC and 2 other nice trucks.This is the only pic I have of the GMC so I trying to keep it spirit alive.

Holy cow, look at the size difference on those wheels!

The blaze looks awesome, please don't lose motivation especially after what happened to the GMC.....
