Do you happen to know what size spanner is required to take the bolts out of the end caps of the rocker boxes? |

Depending on your focus, there are 'other' ways to support the tub. ;) Quote:

Re: Rocker box pictures
So what's a hubcap? They may be wheelcovers according to GM but maybe Ford or Chrysler calls them hubcaps. Someone somewhere has to call them hubcaps or else that term would not be so widely used. I bet if there was a survey done, more people would know what a hubcap is over wheelcover. :devil:

Re: Rocker box pictures
you are correct... but we are on a gm site....... so wheelcovers over caps....In general conversation I may call them hub caps......but a hub cap is icorrect... see its like this... a wheel cover is just that a wheel cover.. a hub cap is just that.. the little round thing on the end of the spindle (knuckle for those that realy know what it is) is a cap.the little disk that only coverd the lugs and knuckle cap is a hub cap.

Re: Rocker box pictures
I believe the dead horse can be drug/dragged away now.

Re: Rocker box pictures
Don't drag the horse away guite yet, no,no,no, the hubcap only covers the wheel bearings...hence, the wheel hub, the hub cap. Now drag it away

If you want to keep things stock and use your blazer as a daily driver, wanting it to look original, I'd say you have two option's. 1) buy a factory replacement set of torsion boxes as pictured above. 2) fab up and support the tub in some other manner but keep it within the stock area using tubing or similar. Option 1 would be the easiest IMO. OR...if it's a wheeler kind of ride, you could do some basic support above the floor. Another way would be to build a cage and tie the tub into that for structured support. These pics are of my off road blazer, torsion boxes were long gone when I got it and I was going for maximum clearance. I completely cut out everything, including the rocker boxes but still had to support the firewall, here's what I did. |

The fact of the matter is that everyone knows what the term rocker box applies to, you wouldn't use that term describing a part on a 1/2 ton. |

The reason there is a debate is that not everyone knows what it is... We have already stated that the part in question is not on a 1/2 ton or any ton TRUCK. its a blazer spicific part. |

Still considering getting a welder. Need to sell a few more things first (compromised with the GF that I'd only spend the money I made selling other things on this.) Anyone want to buy a tonka truck? |
