Not a lot got done on Friday being I got a later start than originally planned for.
Lots of BS'n about trucks and a good steak, ribs & beer dinner though. One days work: *Had a bare frame, had the axles, had the blazer tub on a 67 panel truck frame. *Mounted axles under frame, rolled out of garage. *Pulled tub off of panel frame and rolled that frame out of the way. *Had to lift the blazer tub enough to clear 42"s, so the frame would roll under it. *Installed the front clip. *Left for home around 6:30p.m. The spring's I already had and decide to use for the purpose of making it a roller, so if it looks like it sits a little 'off', it does. Their 2.5" lift springs with a shackle flip in the rear but hey it's what we had, so it's what we used. Lost almost 2hrs waiting around for the rain to lighten up too... It's a damn nice tub, could almost build it and drive it as is. :bo2: Pics aren't that great, it was pouring most of the afternoon. |
Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
I like that setup....
I know you have a few projects but here's a blazer near my house for sale... Guy was looking for around $900, I would love to build a trail rig but i'm knee deep in mine and no place to house another toy. http://lancaster.craigslist.org/pts/761823029.html |
Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Acquiring this one now also allows for the flip blazer to happen too. |
Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Looking good already - I'm really digging the Hummer rims - hmmm, those would look killer on my K5!

I love the orange too. (always wanted one this color) The blazer will end up looking very close to the way it sits right now, orange with a white top and I'm leaving the alloy wheels without any center caps, cause I'm diggin' the rugged look it gives, seeing the hubs. ;) With the H2's, the front tires are inside of the fenders, which in my state will getcha a ticket if their not. (bonus) Still searching for one more H2 wheel for the spare if anybody comes across one... |
Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
I can look for a rim at Carlisle... what should it cost for a nice straight one?
PM me your number and I can call you if I find something. |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Is this gonna be all out restoration or is thebody mounted for good on the frame the way it is??

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Not a restoration , not even close. It will be over built, not stock, just a classic 1st gen body...from there it's all fair game. |

700r and a 241 T-case. (forgot those in my original post didn't I?) The only parts left to aquire are the seats and cage tubing. Then it's finding the time to assemble it all. |
Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
That was one day's work? Dayum, that goes quick when it's all rust-free!
