too F'in funny 69-72 appears to have one of our "survivors" up here in the salty Northeast Great lakes area.... LOL
tomato tomatoe.... its all good I need to reinstall the torsion boxes on the AZ blazer since the state (original owner) removed them to install saddle tanks....
Up here very few blazers had these boxes as they collected all the salt and rotted out in about 3 yrs but then the trucks only lasted about 5 yrs up here the 73/ 75 K5s were even worse ROT boxes... hmmm maybe thats where the term ROT box originated.... lmfao...
all BS aside as a structural engineer I would tent to believe they are TORSION boxes since that is what the flexing stress is on the TUB.... a BOX is much stronger than some flap of tin.... think of an old GM A body ragtop... the convertible frames were fully boxed to keep the tub rigid or it would fold up like a Rustang....or any other crusy unibody crap...
OK i always referred to the small covers over the hub n lug nuts as hub caps and the wheel covers like the infamous wire wheel covers wheel covers
Up here we call it soda or pop...me I prefer Coke....LOL
