It's not a k5 but a reg cab short bed k10 so you can kinda get the idea:

I have some stock back spacing hummer wheels on my blazer or at least it used to be a blazer. I took the whole body and scrapped it and I am currently in the process of mounting a mazda extended cab body on the blazer frame. To run the stock backspacing which effectively narrows the wheel base almost 8 inches I had to make steering arms for my dana 60 so the rims wouldn't hit. I used the inverted T set up from the steering tech page on this site.

It's really cool because I was looking for a narrower ride anyway since the trails are so tight around here(Arkansas-Missouri). The Mazda body is 22 inches narrower than the Blazer was! Hummer wheels RULE. I've got $210 invested in the whole set including the runflats which beat a beadlock any day of the week plus it narrow the wheel base so the wheel don't stick out so far.

:D :D :D

I can't wait to wheel it!!!!

I have my Blazer with new 42" TSL's mounted to a set of recentered Hummer rims.

Since chev 14B have 3" narrower WMS to WMS than a Dana 60, I'm running 2.5" of BS in the back, and 3.5" in the front. Still .5" out each side, but it shardly noticible.

No pics yet...uh. I'll post em when I get some.
