I've got a windshield if you need to offload that big bucket of parts!!! :lol:


I'd like to see the bobbed rear end with the fleetsides..

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Hey vtblazer, maybe I missed it ...but are you going to run 14" travel rear shocks? If so how are you going to mount them?

Is there and upper crossmember/shock mount that you know of?

Thanks,

Fantastic build. Give me welding lessons !!!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Sorry Kurt but I've been slackin' a little. Had to go back 3 pages to find my last post and then catch up on my reading. I won't even start in on my kids, grand kids, and yep even great grand kids. Now I feel old. Later.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Sooo, how 'bout that blazer build? Hmmmm?

Oh yeah, seems to be a new requirement on this thread. G, B, G, 12, 13, 17

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

This build has taken a backseat to the kids & family responsibilities for the time being, with good weather here it's more about spending time with the kids and their interests with the current economy it's more about making sure the bills get paid.

With three of your own, I'm guessing maybe your on the same page.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt,

You need an NOS driver door for this project? I'm picking it up next month... when's the next road trip to PA?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Thanks Mike but I'm good in the door department, have a set from the very first blazer I ever purchased years ago, it's long since rusted/been parted out but I've kept these doors all this time. :chevy:

Nothing for P.A. on the radar right now, actually trying to sell the crawler currently but the Tenn. trip is coming up. (hopefully I can still make it)
You going to that?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Hmmmm..... I still need a set of doors!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Actually, we are doing our damnedest to support our flagging economy.:flag:

I am doing more work on my truck than I have in years. The funny thing is, I've only spent a few hundred bucks and I've been selling unwanted or un-needed stuff to off set it.

Both my girls play softball, one of them is on 3 rosters. My summers have been spent hauling them around for years. My winters are spent hauling the son around for hockey. It seems like it never ends, but then when the season is over, you feel a liitle lost and restless. My oldest just got Academic All-conference today as a junior. The wife just asks whos kid is this.

Have fun with the kids. The trucks aren't going anywhere.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Good call....similar situation here.

It's all about lifes priorities.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

3rd weekend in July.. dang, i'll pass you guys on the road. I'll be in Indy the week of the 6th, then Hunstville on the 13th and back to PA just before that weekend. I'll have the wife and kids so I can't see her being excited enough to add another 2 days to the end of the trip! If you guys happen to come through Harrisburg, PA let me know though. Maybe we can link up for a fuel stop or I can show off some flight simulators.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Any progress on the build lately. Two girls here 10, 11. Only man in the house is crazy. lol

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

The only thing I've done is strip off the 37's and put on some 42's.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt, any new pic's?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Fun thread.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

New pics, yes.
Any real progress, not so much.

Lately it's only been about sorting/storing & trying to clean out & clear up garage space.

Thanks, life goes on...:chevy:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Fun is right! Only 25 pages long, rock on bro's!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Back to the H2's. :chevy:

Swapped the wheels/tires around again, why you ask?

Cause the guy who's buying the blue blazer wants the 42's on it.
(sale pending)

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

If the blue one goes, will you keep the orange one, or try to sell that one too?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

The orange one is already posted in the sale section, if that sells as well, it's onto #3, the bronze one...whew. :lol:

Selling #'s 1 & 2 to thin the heard and finance building #3.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

kURT....... JUST PICK ONE DAMMIT..... JUST KIDDING...................... HAHHAHAHHA

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

You might be kidding but even so, your right! :lol:

That's the goal, I'm ready to settle down now.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt I dont get it... the orange one is bad a** and clean.... isnt there a challenge? LOL
I looked at another POS one yesterday
looks good from 5 ft... the floors are shot but its cheap and has some nice parts found it on CL here... 1500... single wall top and swing away spare...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

It's more about consolidation really, yes the orange one is amazing but so isn't the bronze one, both are as solid a blazer as I've ever been able to find.

So it boils down to a toss up, either would be great build candidates.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I wish I could build em like you Kurt!! No wonder your Julians hero

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Nice!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Don't care...
Can't stand to see it sitting in my garage and not work on it, so I did.

Started in on the firewall, got after a couple of the holes that need patching (3 more to go) and began sanding it down for paint.

Found a ton of debris in the pass. side cowl, will drill more holes on the bottom for better drainage before I paint.

Have two differant name brand drivers side rockers, will decide which one to use when I get to pulling off the existing rocker.
Yeah, it was just bad enough to convince me to replace it.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

just curious is there a vizual diff in the rockers??? and I hope you'll speak up on which one fits better..........I bought mine at the local Napa and the fit was fare but then again I didn't care and had nothing to compair them to......they where here in the next day and the panels I didn't use made it easy to return......

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Glad to see ya workin' on it. It'll be the way it should've been from the factory when ya get it done.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

No real visual differance between the two, once I pull the stock rocker I'll compare em and let ya know.

One is a Tri-Plus & the other has just enough of the tag worn off so that I can't tell.

The humidity is supposed to drop here next week after three weeks of misery, painting the firewall will be on the to-do list.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

humid LMAO the we could fight with the boys down south ......yek..... I guess tueday evening is going to be ther best time this week ...good luck......

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

So let me get this straight you are selling this Blazer (orange one)?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Possibly, your correct it is currently for sale on this board in the FS section.

Thing is, I have two rust free tubs and both are up for grabs, which ever one sells first decides the fate of the other.

I'm happy building either one but one does have to go.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Still working on it even though it's up for sale...

Firewall got the attention today.
