I am impressed so far, I really like the body lift you built, I think I might wind up copying your idea there, that thing would be damn handy for installing truck beds, bodies, and what ever else.

Football should almost be over right, get back to the Blazer! Looking super sweet, I have a 5.3 and an NV 4500 so I am super interested in seeing how this goes!! BTW you don't want to sell your single walled top do ya.....I didn't think so, but had to try!

Re: 1972 Blazer 5.3 E85/ NV4500 5spd 4x4 Build
Just got finished with a long football season... now time to finally start working and hopefully get the Blazer on the road within the next couple months. First work was fixing the irrepairable attempt at body work with a torch and some welding wire by the PO..

Buying Seats this week in order to modify the floor or make brackets etc. Still having trouble finding the perfect way to mount engine without Shortening/Lengthening drivelines but its getting close. More updates soon... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |

Got some seats out of a 2004 GMC sierra both are full power with heaters:clap: got a great deal on them. Ill have to reupholster with black leather to match the rest of the interior and the back seat.. They're really comfortable and the foam is in great shape.. now to mount them:metal:

Hey hows it going Livermore guy here. Nice looking project you got there. Same with you McRed. I am curious what did Moss charge you to do that frame. They are around the corner from the machine shop I work at.

Damm we have a community of 67-72's in the valley! Sandblast and powder-coat of everything including separate brackets and crossmembers was around $600? give or take a few. i also got a discount because the shop i used the shop account that i used to work at.
