72' Project progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BabyBlue · 05-09-2005, 11:48 PM

Well I was bored so I went out and snapped some pics of my dads blazer so you guys can see it. He finally got his two rear wheels, 17x11's with 3 1/2" backspacing Billit Specialties. The entire front suspension is done, he just needs his two front wheels... and his triangulated 4-link is all set up except for the one airbag on the pass side (the blazer is about 3" away from the wall on the pass side). If you guys have any questions I can answer them, but my dad doesn't want to let some specifics about it out. Although the ride height is going to be 2.5" off the ground in the front and 4.5" in the back (before the rear wheel)

Looks nice. Does the truck have a solid cover over the bed?

Alexis · 05-10-2005, 12:19 PM

It's so clean as it sits. I like how the doors have been trimmed down to the bedside hieght. I like how the top of the bedsides are smooth. Thats going to be show stopper for sure.

Yes it does, it's a two piece though....the one closest to the doors is fixed and the rear one will be automated

Dad got some tires on the wheels, so after the carshow tomorrow I'll snap some pics for you guys

BabyBlue · 05-14-2005, 07:53 PM

My dad got his tires on his two 17x11's....285/40's. ANd it seems that he will be running 17x11's all the way around. That and the ride height is going to be about 1/2"-3/4" lower than thought to be.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-16-2005, 10:57 AM

Big J · 05-16-2005, 03:59 PM
