I love the full tops, but hat the newer front clips in them. I got goose bumps while looking at these pics. I want another Blazer!

Travis,

If you old rear wheels would have had 4.5" of back space, do you think the fender would not have been rolled?? I am looking at going with your old set-up. That is why I ask.

Ya I think 4.5 will work, how low or you going?

Probably something mild. Right now the rear already sits an inch lower that the front. So I was thinking 3" spindles up front and 2" shackles out back. With the 275/60's out back that would give it a small rake.

Mine as it sits today....waiting to be two-toned and for the garage to be done so it can sleep inside.

My Blazer has 18x10's in the back with 5" backspacing on a 6" drop and I probably have around 3/4" clearance on each side of the tire. This is with 305/45/18s

Happy you made it back on the site, have not seen you blazer in a long time. What all are you doing to it this time?

panelguy 01-13-2010 10:22 AM

Re: 2wd k5 Blazers
 
Thanks Travis. I removed the window tint and will two tone the blazer. Same color on the top but silver from just below the windows all the way down. Then new 20" wheels once the Boss 338's (i think) are remade to just bolt right on.

Re: 2wd k5 Blazers
 
No i didn't (thank u for asking) Life just always seem to get in the way. The rest of the time the trucks were to far away or to high price for what they were offering. I did end up buying a 1960 chevy bel air two door for my birthday last year. It is a long term project though. i was hoping to find a blazer to take on the power tour this year but it just is not playing in my favor.

Re: 2wd k5 Blazers
 
Man all these sweet pics have me wanting another one bad. I haven't owned a 2wd blazer since the mid 90's and now I am really feeling the urge. Thanks for the inspiration guys and hopefully soon I can add a contribution to this thread.

Nice looking blazers can't wait to have mine up and running. Hopefully take on a road trip.

Yes, the blue one was for sale on Ebay about 4 months or so ago and I ended up raising hell about it because the guys description was totally BS. Said that he built the motor and that his father owned it for a bunch of years before him, etc, etc. I just called ebay and complained, gave them a bunch of copies of receipts and pictures that I had to prove I was the previous owner so that they would remove the ad for fraudulent listing.

Thanks the compliment on the Tan one (too bad it isn't tan anymore!).

That's the truck that was on ebay a while back in all original condition, isn't it? It took a minute to register until I saw your location.

Re: 2wd k5 Blazers
 
Yes that's it.....I was going to Pro Street it but can't cut up a nice original....Still have all the original goodies to go back if one so desires...Nothing cut anywhere...

I remember it well from ebay, best original interior I've seen in a while.
