Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

cant wait to see this.:metal:

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

thanks man

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

another showstopper on its way!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

when the blazer is slammed to the floor like that do you lose the back seat?

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

ive seen alot of laid out k5's with the back seat still there. some people raise the floor in the rear and mount the back seat to the floor. you can see on the black blazer a few post back that it still has a back seat. by the way.....love your blz...if your thinking of baggin it. bag the front first as low as you are gonna go, then measure how much you need in the rear...it could be all you will need is a c-notch, which will leave the rear floor untouched. i dont think you would have to worry about driveshaft clearance either(no tubs needed)

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

It depends on what you call a back seat.....:smoke:
With my notch and cover it going to take a smaller seat, stoc one will sit to high.

if he just lays stock crossmember will he need a step or just a c-notch?

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

when I measured mine it seemed I could notch to the stock floor and be good.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

thanks

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

but what i have learned is no matter which way you bag these k5's there is no room in rear of them....lol

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

That's a sweet blazer! The wheels are really sucked in though. Maybe too much in my opinion. Does anyone know how this was accomplished?

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

im guessing narrowed control arms and narrowed rear end

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

x2

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

You have to be able to clear the narrowest part of the front fender, when lay'd out.
In this case,... its the top of the fender,... NOT the part of the fender that flares out (at the moulding).
Plus to drive and turn low,... the tire turn inside the fender, NOT thru the wheel opening.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Could also be the porterbuilt front end or something comparable.. It will narrow the front I think a inch and a half on each side.

Next year mine is going to get a new motor and also install the new drop member kit I have for it.. So at least the front will be bagged.. :)

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

i think your right, most likely it is a porterbuilt... the wheels are in some and its laying hard.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

I'm pretty sure it's Z'd with narrowed control arms

Here is a pic with the top on. I posted earlier with top off.
1970 REAL 2WD Blazer. Living in So Cal it hardly ever rains so I never put the top on except for this pic. If it rains she justs stays in the garage.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

that's a beauty!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

I have a 77 going through the transformation. I am new to the site, and did post a intro message a few days ago, but just saw this thread. Glad to see the enthusiasm for the old Blazers!

I have posted both the before and the current state pictures. I am still making it straight, but hope to pull it off the frame in the next 6 weeks and work the chassis and such...

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

hi welcome,yup we love em all ,old,new,square,round eye,grumpys lol

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Wow nice blazers! Picked this one a couple months ago. Just put a drop kit on it.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Cool truck - love the green!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

I've loved these things forever- just got my second one. '76 One-Owner.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Third 2wd. I had a 76, 72, and now a 75.....

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Think I saw this while I was in Burbank this past weekend.....really nice k5 :metal:

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Yeah, I'm the manager at Hollywood Hot Rods next to Dels.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

oh cool... yeah I was up there for the One N Done, my kid hit you up if you wanted to sell it... lol

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

He didn't- you guys should have drove it home!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Oh damn thought he did.. I should have asked you myself

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

what drop components/set-up are you running? looks niCE!!!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Awesome truck, I bet that is a blast to drive.

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Damn forgot about this thread.. Here is a update for my blazer..

We started doing the rear and here is a pic of where the axle should sit when layed out..

http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps1ab2faab.jpg

They we took off the front and found out why everything didn't line up correctly.. The truck was hit pretty good on the front corner and they "tried" to straighten it. The whole front clip was help on by two bolts (the only ones that lined up). So instead of trying to fix someone's screw up I found a new frame for $150..

http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m...psd835d98c.jpg

Only bad thing is that it's a 4wd frame so now I'm like most people that have converted them now. Except my VIN still reads 2wd GMC.. lol

Here is the latest progress.. It's been slow because of work and other things but going to get working on it more the end of the month..

http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps18a45c12.jpg

This was the last pic before we pulled everything off.. Tell ya without the shell on it rode so much better.. lol

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Bringing this back up... need more pics... top off ....

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Wow, I see that I posted a picture while under construction, but that appears to have been 2+ years ago. Go t it done since then!

Re: How many 2wd Blazers do we have?
 

Here is a 2wd '81 that I built back in the late 90's. Should have never sold it, looking for another one now.
