I posted a while ago in the newb section with some questions. I got some feed back and have been collecting parts. The plan is for a daily driver that is a capable off road truck. It will keep all the body panels. I hope I can provide some tech thats worth somthing to someone... other wise I'll just try an be a picture whore for eveyone....
1972 K5 Blazer CST
How I got it with the crappy black paint and all...
Here it is before I put the top back on for the winter...
Since the last pic I installed some late model Silverado seats and have been daily driving it to work... probably 8 MPG downhill in neutral...
PARTS I HAVE :
2005 LQ9 w/ less then 50k miles
4L80e w/ unknown mileage (2004 or 2005)
Winters Sidewinder shifter for 4L80e
NP205 w/ short 32 spline input from the elusive 1991 crew cab Chevy
Dana 60 w/ open 4.10s and Custom Brakes
NWF crossover steering
AAM 14 BFF w/ disc brakes and integral e-brake.
DIY4X rear shackle flip
Hydroboost from 2005 GMC 2500hd and a Custom Firewall Mount
Set of H2 wheels and half bald tires
PARTS I NEED:
LQ9/4L80e harness (didn't get afactory harness so probably use Howell EFI)
Engine mount and crossmember (I'll try figuring out my own but Pacific Fab is my back up plan)
4L80e to NP205 adapter Trail Tech Fab
Fuel system upgrade (external pump for now, new tank later)
NWF cable shifter (I'll have some sort of console so factory shifters gotta go)
.. and lots of crap I didn't think of yet..
