Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Even better from at least what the "making it handle" thread says. Keep them progress pics comin!

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Spindles/springs and new CPP sway bar installed. Repacked bearings while I was at it, cleaned and painted a few pieces, not going crazy with that, but while it's apart, why not right. I also stripped the painted center on my fender emblems, not sure of I like the look, but I'll let it ride for a while n see how I feel.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Looking good! Reminds me a lot of my old pale yellow '72. When I first got it, I couldn't wait to paint it, but it does grow on you... Always wanted to do the '68 swap, but never got around to it. You thinking of using 67-68 side trim? <-- would be sick. Watching this one for sure :chevy:

Here's what yours could have looked like--I like your wheel choice :)

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Working a turnaround at work makes it though to squeeze in an hour or two at night, but I got a few more things done, some small stuff like new fuel neck grommet and some tidy up stuff. Did alot of tool cleaning and stuff, had to work on getting clearance for my sway bar because it was hitting my tie rods, blah blah, but got the drivers door aligned and the drivers fender on. Everything is pretty straight, but I won't know how well I've done till that hood goes on. I pick that up from the body shop Monday. They had some trash in it and the grill so they kept em to re shoot them. Hope to get on the rear suspension tomorrow.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Thanks gringo, your Blazer in yellow is one of the motivating reasons to stay with the yellow lol. I really like this dumb color for some reason. And Shawn, I got no choice but to keep it up. I'm driving it to Cruzin The Coast October 11. It's got to be finished but this damn turnaround is killing me. It's gonna last until the beginning of October!

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

What are you doing with the rear suspension?
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

New 5" springs, 2" blocks, notch, no limit shock relocator, porterbuilt adjustable panhard and maybe the CPP trailing arm crossmember if I have the time, but I'll have to cut up my exhaust if I'm gonna do that so it may be a project for a later date.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Anybody know what could have been welded to the frame here? One of the POs cut it off and left some remnants to be ground off.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Lookin' good!

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Must have been some car springs out back before, this alone should improve the handling I would think.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

I have both a 72 2wd frame and a 72 4x4 frame and niether has anything in that spot. If it had been from the factory it would have been bolted or rivited on. It was probably an exhaust hanger someone welded on.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Oh, wow. ...and the ride quality, I'm sure...

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Didn't really think it was factory, just couldn't think of what it would be for. There's one on each side and seem way too beefy for exhaust hangers although the thought did run through my mind. Of course the truck had dual exhaust when I got it and these pieces were lopped off already. Oh well, they're nice and flush now lol.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Yeah, it was pretty bouncy, I knew something was not right when I took the top off and it lifted about 2-3 inches lol.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Maybe it was the front mount on an old trailer hitch???

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

One step forward and 2 steps back lol. Got my springs, blocks and No Limit lower shock relocators mounted. The CPP notch is in, but the Porterbuilt panhard bar doesn't fit with the notch or the shock relocator..... And I already removed the stock panhard upper mount before I realized it, yeah. If anyone wants the PB panhard, powdercoated Wet Black, I taking offers hahaha. Anyway. Looks like I'll bolt up and run the stock bar until I've got time to order the one from Rob. Oh, the shocks I had would have been the right length, but the bushings are the wrong size for the mounts, so new shocks are added to the list. Anyway, I had to bolt up the shoes and set her down to see what ride height looked like, so here ya go.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

SWEET blazer..

Love the color.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

If it ends up half as nice as your yella truck, I'll be satisfied

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Ok, so I dropped the tank tonight for access and found this. The vent line going to the filler neck had the sealant broke loose and the other small vent (which is plugged off along with the vent on the passenger side btw) had popped loose as well. What's the right thing to do here?

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

You've got a good looking Blazer here!

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

IMHO I would just replace the tank! To me the peace of mind of having a clean new tank would be worth the cost.

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

Just didn't know if this was common or not. The rest of the tank is solid w/o a bit of corrosion. Everything in the pic is just dirty undercoating. Wonder how long it'll take to get a new tank in!!

Re: Brewing up some Pale Ale
 

I've never done this, but I would just try to seal it up with some type of sealant that's resistant to gas and gas fumes. Given there's no corrosion, I don't think there's a need to drop $ on a new one.
