Project Sandstorm. 1971 Blazer 4wd, Boosted carb'd 454 sand beast
I picked this up over the weekend. I had some questions before i started a build thread and tore into this thing. The rust is pretty minimal.
-It has a 454 with a 4speed hooked to it. Plans are a boosted, carb'd 454 with auto th400. 35s with bead locks. Res. shocks. Should be fun in the sand. Thats about it for now. WHen i built project karma i really wanted it to be a blazer but i just wasnt patient enough when i started. I will post more pics and start a build thread soon. ![]()

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Post pictures of where the manifolds are hitting. It's hard to give a response without seeing what is actually going on there.
Post picture of the transfer case. The stock t-case would be a NP205. There is a badge on it if you can find it. No on the suburban. As far as I know/read/seen, they do not match up.

Sure. You are ditching it so I didn't figure it mattered.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Suburban hatch won't work - here's a K5 hatch in WA that will: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=676046
Good luck with your build!

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Transfer case is a np205.
Transmission is either a muncie sm420, muncie sm 465 or a NP435. It has granny low, and a 6 bolt side cover. Hmmm.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Looks like a SM465 and an NP205 to me. Since yours is a 70 I think there should be a build tag on the TC attached to driver's side inspection plate (assuming it's original).

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Figured i would give an update. I didnt realize i didnt update at all.
I planned on going 2wd and changed my mind. I just got off the phone with ORD placing a $3200 order with custom leafs and res. shocks. I lucked out and picked up a very straight second frame that i can build from. I also found a set of 3/4 ton axles i will be running.. i only plan on running this in the sand and some very rare mud, no rock action. here are some random pics. I started with the usual floor boards the rocker boxes look good. I peeled the rocker back and it was FULL to the top with mud and crap. ![]() Opened up. ![]() ![]() Just refitting everything. ![]()

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
I blasted the rocker boxes, then painted it sealed it all up.
![]() ![]() ![]() You can see in this picture the bracket i made for the seat. I was going to just weld it in but i was advised to bolt it in. So i plated the underside and bolted it in. Solid as a rock. ![]()

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
This is just some of the junk the PO did.
This is how he spaced the transfer case. ![]() They used street signs and about 40 screws to cover the shifter holes. what a mess. ![]() Seat bracket ![]() Little rust in the cowl area. Shaving the firewall a bit. I like that clean look. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Currently im working on the second frame and i purchased a bronco bob roll cage that i will be installing soon. I currently installed a built new th400, new axles, new radiator, and rewired the vehicle. I plan on saving the tub for last. I want to get it functioning. I do have a little video of me driving it the other day.
New frame.. SUPER straight. Hitch on the rear is already gone. Just getting it bare to send to the blasters and powder coat. ![]() ![]() Hitch is finally gone. That was welded in so badly. ![]() ![]() These are a rim im thinking of running. 35s with a 15x10. SHould look pretty beefy. ![]() ![]() Here is a vid of its first test drive after the new transfer case, transmission and new wiring job.I tried to embed the video in the post so you didnt have to click a link, i dont know how to do that. First run with new transmission/shifter/open header.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
IM getting ready to send the frame out for sand blasting and powdercoating. Anything i should do before i send it out? I was thinking of having it dipped instead of sand blasted. I feel like sand blasting will not get in between the brackets that are riveted on. Any recommendations?

Hmm. Didnt really think about that. I measured the frame and its straight. I just assumed it would all bolt on. lol.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Little more work. All the parts arrived from ord except the rear shocks (they were stolen) and still waiting on the custom leafs..
Got the rear frame sections straightened back up. Everything is now off the frame. It will be going to the powdercoater here soon. This is what it looked like after getting the welded hitch off. ![]() Now. ![]() I wanted to use their new crossmember on my frame. Some custom work needs to be done but its pretty simple. Just need to shorten the 74-87 engine towers and then drill a few holes. Thats about it. This is one side done. ![]() ![]() I really want to fill a few of the holes in the frame. I know i could just weld them up but they are a bit bit. Any recommendations on what to put in the holes? Little metal slugs of some kind?

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Just an update. Crossmember is in. Modified the upper crossmember pieces to fit. Im not filling all the holes on the frame, just a couple that were excessive.
Im just a couple minutes away from sending this to powdercoating and blasting. Is there anything i should prep before i send it off?? Also, my custom ORD leafs showed.. I will get some pics of those bad boys. Not that anyone sees these threads anymore. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Your doing a fine job on everything. I have started threads that no one ever responded to, you just can't expect people to always comment.
I do like that style of cage. Keep up the good work and don't lose your Mojo |

I am also watching. That is a great looking cage, My hat is off to you guys who take the time to post all this stuff. It is not totally unappreciated.
