Fun new project in my shop.......
New because I've found some time to get to this project. A 2wd blazer made from a blazer tub and a truck frame. I will replace the entire firewall and windshield frame.
There is plenty of dents and rust to repair so it should be fun. I am going to use the new complete cab floor from goodmark. A little pricey but I'll give a report on the quality when I get one to my place. Last edited by ebfabman; 06-17-2006 at 04:19 PM. |

Re: Fun new project in my shop.......
Boss, I have a lot of raw footage of blazer repairs I've made and I am filming this one as well. If I make DVD's, They will be very reasonably priced and I may provide a way to download parts for free (thanks to the success of the cab repair DVD's)

Re: Fun new project in my shop.......
First the truck frame has to be cut down to 104 inch wheel base. Then you'll need the cushion brackets from a blazer frame or you will need to fab some. Not really that involved.

Re: Fun new project in my shop.......
That's one of the things that makes these trucks popular, lots of possibilities. You must have a shorty truck. Wonder if anyone has made a long blazer...

Re: Fun new project in my shop.......
Earl, "...Wonder if anyone has made a long Blazer?" I have a Longhorn frame...now there is an original thought! Someone is already doing a Longhorn 4x4...so how about a Blazehorn dually?
I can't wait to see what great things you are going to do with this project!!!!!!!!
