Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Sounds pretty much like everything I've done or am going to do. A dropmember is on the way along with all the other goodies.. (that stuff will go on it if it doesn't sell. If it does there is a certain crewcab I'm looking at)

I think I might order one of the showwheels and see how it mounts up in the back. Worst case I'm out $200.

Thanks for all the help. Your truck looks awesome! Everything is spot on!

Mine was 4wd/leaf at first, too. I used the 4wd axle when I converted to trailing arms, just welded on new saddles. It was the same dimensionally as a 2wd rear, just without the cast panhard mount. Trimming the inner bedside is the 'Lucy mod' I referred to- check out N2Billet's red '68 for details- you may be able to get away without it though, depending on how low you are.

Please post up pics of your measurements and let me know when you do- I'd be more than happy to help you get the wheels you want mounted up on that sweet Blazer, so I can live vicariously through you
