Nice work on that chassis!

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
 
Sorry been slacking on the updates, put the motor and trans in there to do more test fitting. Picked up some headers and the rear shocks. Made up some rear shock mounts and started working on a trans x-member, still gotta box it up but u get where I'm going with it. Might box in the shock mounts too... We'll see. Shocks are gonna be mounted on the outside of the frame behind the axle.

Hey man is your trans crossmember bolted in or welded in?

DrppdBlazr 08-15-2013 03:52 PM

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
 
Right now it's neither but when I get done it will be welded

It being welded, How will that effect removal/reinstallation of engine/trans once the body is on?

Probably make it a ***** lol but I'm not worried about that at all, I could always lift the body a little if I had too.

Yeah, exactly!

Re: 79' 2wd blazer
 
Fab work looks great! Hard earned tip, if I may: Take those Blue Monroes back and get the Sensatracs for the same application. Night and day difference on just our mildly lowered static truck. A few more bucks but WAAAAAY worth it.

I'll keep that in mind elco. Probably won't be a driver for a little while so that will be down the road.
