I wish I would have done this before I got my interior done. It's nothing to chop one up though. My dad is currently chopping up a numbers mathcing 327 350hp, 4 speed, 67 vette factory air car. He ditched every thing and bought a 6.0,t56, art morrison front end, 04 mustang IRS that he is narrowing and going to run like a 295/40/20 on the back of it. People will sure think that he is crazy when this one gets done.

The nicer truck(or car) you start with, the nicer you have at the end.

You said it there. I guess that is why I paid so much for a big head start.

Yes he would... He ain't skeert to cut one up. Fortunately he's able to put them back togther too....

jkade- I know it's not a Blazer, or even a 67-72 truck, but check the pics of my 77 in my sig. That's about as low as you can go and not cut holes in the bed. I could go about another inch lower but then it would not roll when aired out. Tires are 245/40/20 and 295/40/20

Re: Who all has air ride????? Who has rear disk brakes??

Pharcyde- in your pics it looks like you are laying pinch.

- Did you do this with an 8" step notch only?
- Anything besides spindles/bags in front?
- Any trailing arm/frame interference probs?

These are some pics I took of it at the show in Lake Charles, LA. I could have sworn that I had gotten some shots of the interior. It was a basic interior though, no side panels, just buckets and a bench.

Sorry for the hijack

I like almost everything about that, BUT ..................... I'd have to change a few things.

There will be interference problems with the trailing arms, but nothing that cant be overcome. Mine were hitting the frame even with my 6.5" notch

Do you think moving the perches on the axle closer to center would give enough clearance?
