I did some measuring the upper most bolt on the outside closest to the bed with a plumb bob. I measured 4.5". between that point and outside of the bed was maybe another 1.5" So it's possible, but looks to be really tight.

I keep refer to you and lolife99 on wheel measurement.. I will have to take some pictures of my measurements and post them up.

Thanks a lot to everyone who posted positive comments :D The truck is transformed; it steers and handles better, rides better, is quieter, and looks much mo' betta- not only to us truck nuts, but also to the gawking people I found when I left Subway today...

Mine was 4wd/leaf at first, too. I used the 4wd axle when I converted to trailing arms, just welded on new saddles. It was the same dimensionally as a 2wd rear, just without the cast panhard mount. Trimming the inner bedside is the 'Lucy mod' I referred to- check out N2Billet's red '68 for details- you may be able to get away without it though, depending on how low you are.

Please post up pics of your measurements and let me know when you do- I'd be more than happy to help you get the wheels you want mounted up on that sweet Blazer, so I can live vicariously through you :chevy:

Sounds pretty much like everything I've done or am going to do. A dropmember is on the way along with all the other goodies.. (that stuff will go on it if it doesn't sell. If it does there is a certain crewcab I'm looking at)

I think I might order one of the showwheels and see how it mounts up in the back. Worst case I'm out $200.

Thanks for all the help. Your truck looks awesome! Everything is spot on! :metal:

Let's see. You have sweet, then there is sick, but then there is retarded. You're truck is freakin sweet sickness with a retarted twist!!!!:metal: This is what we all want even if we don't admit it. Shiney is cool but the old original style barnfind look with updated wheels is where it's at. Perfect blend.....

I probably sit and stare at your truck more than any other on these build threads....I can so see my truck looking like yours....I have all my suspension connecting points just need the drop spindles and springs now....I have been debating to put new paint on or run it as is with the faded look, but that debate is over looking at yours I just love the look...I hope you don't mind but you have some many things done to you truck, that I have put on my to do list on mine.

Yeah Showheels should take a look at what he did to those wheels and produce them in the same way. They would sell a hell of a lot more of them. I would have bought them instead of my Coys if they would have looked like this. Definitely give you props for taking brand new wheels and having the know how and fearlessness to modify them. I would have never thought to do that or even had the balls to do it.

Plus ship, I have just over 8 in them, but there were no comparisons (in 20") for the price. Coy's have gone WAY up since I last bought them- not to mention air-body an' they mama 's got 'em now. I saw exactly zero cars on Streeters at GoodGuys- dunno if that's a good or a bad thing- at least I'll be unique! :chevy:
