Re: 98 & Newer Blazer Brake Upgrade 4 The S10
Hey Guys - No build thread yet. I suppose I should get out there with the camera and at least take enough pics to make a thread worthwhile. This weekend I have been blowing the whole thing back apart to get everything blasted, so I can start on the sheetmetal and final welding on the chassis. Probably a pretty good time to get a build thread started...
Anyway, it was really cool to meet Dan and his son yesterday...talk about a couple of guys with truckitis! 
As far as cost on the blazer spindle and brake swap. S10 Warehouse sells the whole thing for around $300 depending on miles and wear on the parts. You can probably buy it cheaper if you can find it locally, but 2wd blazers are few and far between in MI. I went ahead and replaced the rotors and pads on my setup. So maybe $400 into the whole deal...a lot less than the aftermarket stuff and will provide very sufficient stopping. Oh, and you can buy all the replacement parts at your local auto parts store for cheap.
