Re: Vintage 4wd Talk
I thought I'd bring this one back because it was fun back then. I never showed my '71 Blazer done in the early-80s. It had the first Super Swampers on it, bias-ply 37/13 x 15s. Rancho 4" lift with 3" body lift. That's how I bought freshly done (poorly). It had Detroit Locker Rr/TruTrac fr with Transdapt finned aluminum extra capacity differential covers and axle trusses front and rear. Dual shocks on front and a push bar including KC Daylighters. The top was a Bestop, Hurst His n Hers floor shifter with t-handle. Diamond-pleat side panels and shag carpet in the back (came with that). Sun tach on the column to keep tabs on the build-up 350 that belonged in a 1/4 mile car... Torker intake for example. Blackjack Alumna-Coat headers running exhaust through Thrush Hush mufflers. Oh yeah, a Moroso 6qt oil pan and double-stacked K&N air filters. I had the TH350 built for the purpose. Remember Nyla-Braid hose covering? I had yellow on the extended axle vent lines and blue under the hood. It was a fun truck and pretty stylin' considering no chrome to speak of. That thing was quite a bog hog!
