The Blazer looks fantastic. You better bookmark this thread. You know that no one will believe what you have done, and how quick you did it unless they see this thread....

Re: here's what i have been up to

talk about timing.....i got the blazer done just in time for the tranny to lose 4th gear in my 68' (700r4), luckily its still got 3 months left on its warranty.... anyway yes i have already gotten a rear flip kit for the blaze should bring it down 4-5 inches in the back, then probably cut half a coil to a whole coil off the front just enough to give it a slight nose down rake...then save money for rims and tires.

Re: here's what i have been up to

It sounds like its going to be baddest blazer I will ever see. I love the progress in such a small amount of time. I hope to soon get my hands on a truck of my own.

Re: here's what i have been up to

as far as wheels go, i am thinking maybe the 17" 96' impala SS wheels or something with a little more classic look, i really don't want to go bigger than 17" or 18" since this truck will be spending alot of time on the highways in louisiana (they will need lots of rubber to protect them).
