Ya, more I looked at the air pump, I said I better do now or I would not do it at all. Thanks for your help.

Did you get your blazer painted?

Not Yet, I have been busy with Work and Coaching my seven year olds baseball team. I hope to get back on it soon. It should'nt take long once I get started. It's just getting the time. I'm sure you know how that is!!!

Are you still running the leaf spring set up with just a single spring to line up the axle? I was thinking of doing this with my 47 1/2 ton and I'm curious to see how it works for you. Any plans of a track bar?
By the way, I love your Blazer!

Here is some pic's with it all the way up and all the way down.

(Onedayjake) I am running the leaf spring set up, but I did not take any out. I have to much motor just to run one leaf. It should work out good I will keep you updated. Here is a pic of the setup. Thanks.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 
I see now that you have the axle flipped to the top. I love the stance and can't wait to see it finished!

Awesome, Blazer looks sick when its layed out. I agree I am usually into the lifted trucks but that is such a nice dropped Blazer! Great job.

I put the roll pan on today and started on the dash, I need to do some sanding on the dash and then primer it. I should have all of the dash put back in this week. Fun Fun. I am trying to get this thing done for the GMC & Chevy truck Nats the first weekend of May. I will be cutting it close.

That looks really sweet. How much did you spend on paint?

Alright! another knox-vegas/K-V area member! (sorry random)

Darth Vader, your Blazer is ready......

Almost done! Keep it up!

tvblazer78 05-11-2007 12:49 PM

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 
The out side of the Blazer was painted about ten years ago when I was in high school,
And about the Darth Vader. All my friends called me Darth Blazer back in the day that is pretty funny that you said that.. O ya paint was $4500 10 years ago. It is just time to have some updates and touch ups done.

Thanks for all the good reply’s.. I hope to get this thing on the road soon. My wife was in and out of the hospital for the last 5 weeks when her first surgery did not go as planed, so 5 surgery’s later I think we are back on the road to get better. So not much has been done lately.. But the weekend things are going to get done…

Nice looking truck! and I really like the wheel selection. I've always liked the old Torq-Thrust D style of wheels and those are similar. Makes you want to lay some smokies down!
:burnout:

Looks good. Hope you tie all the loose ends up and get it up and driving.
