Re: 2wd 1977 Blazer LS swap, mild drop….escalating
A few posts ago, I mentioned the original control arms were coated with a combination of tar and concrete. That changed my plans of rebuilding the factory control arms into just ordering new control arms.
I splurged and ordered the upper and lowers from RideTech. Wow are they nice!
Our goal was to have a roller by end of this week and we pretty well made it. The powder coat business was struggling with lack of help and they didn’t cover the threads for the upper control arm mounts. They coated them and we cleaned them up.
Front assembled nicely. RideTech parts were excellent and instructions were good.
Our front shop rollers using Garth’s wheels and new Walmart tires weren’t installed yet as the lug nuts we have wouldn’t work.
Still, a day in the shop with a sore old body beats any day I ever had in the office.
It was a good week.
