Love the stance in the first pic. Is it on air? looks like you got all the typical rust out..

Re: Golden nugget
 

2.5 drop spindles modified lower control arms denominator air bags on front PB trailing arms with denominator bags on back

Welcome to the board from Mid-MO!!! (JC area)

Love the 2wd project you have going, can't wait to see some more progress. :D

What's the story behind the 2wd? Local?

Re: Golden nugget
 

been around marshall for around ten years in pieces

Re: Golden nugget
 

Cool deal. Can't wait to see some more progress.

I'm assuming you notched the rear of the frame (?), did you have to cut the floor for the pumpkin to rise high enough to sit that low?

Re: Golden nugget
 

when i bought it the floor had been cut. it had four link and the frame had been notched. the air bags weren't on the front and it would not raise as high as i wanted in the back with the bags it had. there was not enough room for bigger bags and i was having problems finding a place to mount shocks and track bar, so i cut the notch out and re-did it put on the PB trailing arm and made a watts link. with the bags mounted on the arms it will go as low and raises to a better ride height.

Welcome from another Mid-MO 2wd Blazer owner!

Re: Golden nugget
 

Awesome, looks good!

Re: Golden nugget
 

Welcome from Mid Mo keep us posted on the progress

Re: Golden nugget
 

Cool blazer where did you get that watts set-up?

Re: Golden nugget
 

is that watts link bolted to the axel tube? I like how the notch only goes into the cab a little bit, just enough you can still get a rear seat in there if you wanted to.

Re: Golden nugget
 

I also see fresh steel in one of them later pics of the body, luv to see more 2wd's!

Re: Golden nugget
 

watts link is home made. the brackets are welded to the axle tube. it does un-bolt if the diff needs work. the back seat does fit over the notch,but it's gonna be close with the floor.
