So i have been working on this blazer for 4 months, so sick of it, but it is getting close still need to order soft top, winch and a couple other things nothing fancy just meat and potatoes.

buchanan454 · 11-06-2010, 10:45 PM

a few pics.

RAGAN · 11-06-2010, 10:57 PM

nice blazer.. wat are your specs and what are your plans

buchanan454 · 11-06-2010, 10:58 PM

so i took off the 35s, went to 40s, and then 44s a little trimming along the way.

buchanan454 · 11-06-2010, 11:11 PM

did not want to get crazy just clean it up a bit. 52s upfront shackle reversel in back, d60/d60 5.38, th400-205,383 on propane.

buchanan454 · 11-06-2010, 11:18 PM

bumpers, cage, fender protection, too keep it low with 44s, i had to chop alot out of the fenders.

buchanan454 · 11-06-2010, 11:50 PM

I hate body work. But it had to be done.

blazerboy85 · 11-07-2010, 12:20 AM

haha yea nothing fancy just 44's beadlocks and a full cage

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 12:23 AM

body work takes for ever especially, when you are doing it by yourself.

primate60 · 11-07-2010, 12:23 AM

why a d60 instead of a 14 bolt in the rear?

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 12:34 AM

washing all the crud off and out before i get crazy with the paint. This was about a week ago.

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 12:43 AM

Well hell the only reason to do all that shit is you you have a competition buggy. But your junk is sweet. Loojs real good. The only thing i have to say is that i know a guy with a k20 and hes running 60 front and rear on 40's and hes blown his rear end a couple times. Just a thought.

time bandit · 11-07-2010, 05:42 AM

open diffs, and 60 rear might be ok keep a trusty 14ff in the area if u like the skinny pedal. nice work on the bumper going into the fender protection going into the sliders/steps. good design. makes me want to narrow my cc and do something like that. did you take a bit of the rocker panel away for the sliders?

time bandit · 11-07-2010, 05:49 AM

scratch the last comment, it looked like u narrowed the front until I saw the rest of the pics (fuckn dial up) I also saw u did cut some of the rocker away. is that 2x6 in the rocker?

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 08:43 AM

So i bought this truck around March. I picked it up off Craigs List, It was a PILE but i got a super good deal and it had a bunch of good parts. It came with a built 383, full roller, 202 vortec heads, March serpentine set up, Dana 60 front and rear, with ARB'S, 4.56 gears, 35 boggers and built th350/205. My plans were to wheel the crap out of it. I took it out and wheeled it one time and realized it needed to totally be gone through. So I started hacking all the junk off and stacking up parts.

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 08:45 AM

Oh yeah the rear end came with 35 spline dutchmans also.

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 09:08 AM

after some long nights it was getting closer to paint.

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 09:35 AM

some color. Emerald metallic green. painted it halloween night.

buchanan454 · 11-07-2010, 09:41 AM

This is how it sits right now. doors and hood are back on. I ordered some bed liner to do around the fenders, rock slider and bumpers. also i am going to line the inside as well. The liner i got is called armadillo liner. I have never used it hopefully it is a good product.

sawzall23 · 11-07-2010, 09:44 AM

wow! this thing is looking sweet!

Altec · 11-07-2010, 10:26 AM

Nice green. I painted a Camaro a shade just like that a while back. Should pop out in the sun!

Highrolleres · 11-07-2010, 10:43 AM

nice blazer you put alot of body work into it hopefully it stays that way

k5slut · 11-07-2010, 11:41 AM
