Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Crossed the bridge tonight,am going to put the exterior cowl area, grille, headlights, etc, back in place, and go head strong with the 1 ton drivetrain setup! Still need to tackle the body mounts, and the torsion/rocker box replacements, etc! Thank's for the advice here guy's!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got a little done last night. Rattle canned black the front/shroud area, so it's nice and clean before I put the grille and etc back in.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
I really want to see how the 1 ton swap goes for you. I am happy that you decided not to do it all at once.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
thank's, need to gather up more parts before I start the swap. Need frt and rear driveshafts, brake upgrades, steering setup, etc. Gotta do the rear axle shackle flip, mount up frt and rear bumpers, winch, wow!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Sounds like a lot. Wish I could come help.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got a little crazy with the black rattle cans, and painted up all of the lower stuff! Also got some real nice "B" pillar panels from Wes today, they are sweet! Pic's tommorrow!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
I know I have asked this question many times before, but here I go again. Swapping in frt and rear 1 ton axles and want to upgrade to a 1 ton brake setup. I am always looking for the simple solution here, and have not found it yet. Any help here, Pic's, threads, etc, guy's? Getting close to setting up the rear disc conversion on my 14 bolt corp, and want to start working on the entire brake setup purchase.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
I swapped in a Dana 60 in my 69 K20 earlier this year - here is a link to my thread that should give you some good info.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Hey YJ, thank's. Just rolled thru, good stuff! Thank's, Bryan.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Rolling thru this day, going to make up for it this week!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Just got my last shipment of disc brake conversion parts for the 14 bolt rear axle. Looks real good, Blackbird Customs. Rotors, calipers, pads, brackets, spacers, short brake hoses, bolts, brake hose clips, and even a couple of custom weld on hose brackets! Took some pic's and will post up later. Big step here for me. Still need u-bolts for the rear swap, and of course shock setup, but getting closer everyday!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Cool, looking forward to the pics of the disc conversion parts.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Thank's YJ! Sorting thru some issues on this disc kit, might take a while to figure it out!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Going to a Mud Run in Luther Mi. tommorrow, should be fun. I'll take some pic's for ya! I always take my 35mm, but harder to post on the computer. I still love the hard pic's though! Nothing done on the K5, working on sorting out details of the rear disc conversion kit. More later.

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
cool. A little paint really cleans things up!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Crawled under yesterday and removed the frt and rear axle trusses/skid plates. Gonna clean em up good and spray a fresh coat of paint. Then off to the F/S pile.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Got em painted, look good, post up some pic's asap!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Man, I've been way busy with the pic's, anybody else working on this type of project? Help me out here, have to work tomm, but could use some encouragement here! Kinda at a stalemate, have to pay off stuff before new stuff can be ordered! Back to why I'm working tommorrow!

Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Sweet! Thank's DB! That's what I was talking about! Your's looks real good!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Ordering up a couple more parts from Wes! Gather more parts, and soon enough be ready for frame off.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Anyone used Wes's outer floor extensions to repair 67-72 Blazer/Jimmy floors? Looks like the way to go, gives you 4" of floor back, the rocker channel, and rocker backing plate all in one. All this is gone on mine, both sides, and am looking to order em up. Just was looking for feedback and or pic's of your's!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
VTblazer use to suggest using them over the Blazer ones as they give you more metal.
Look on the first page of the critter build. |
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
That's right Lb, I remember that now! Measured my floor and that 4" would really help here!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Ordered more parts from Wes today. Pic's when they arrive! Don't remember if I mentioned it, but I picked up a sponser, my DAD! He finished his 66 Pontiac project and is selling off all the leftovers. All proceeds are going towards my build, how cool is that!
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Wish my dad would sponsor me. I have my eyes on a set of truck doors he has...
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
Right on! My DAD is the coolest guy on earth! He tore a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville 4 door apart, did a frame/swap/rebuild/resto that is way nice! He is not a 4x4 guy, but behind me all the way.
|
Re: My new build thread: Stage 4!
very cool that he's pitching in...
