Good thing is that I have help and a dang good help at that. I know it will not be perfect but I have a huge advantage on most folks considering how good of shape mine is already in. I could get by without even painting it

Go with what you've got. The stock arms will get you pretty low once you get all the body out of the way. If you move the frontcrossmember forward, you're gonna have to figure out something for steering, as the stock stuff won't work. Were you planning on running the Bill Turner piece you have?

I never bought any of the Bill Turner stuff. I was thinking on a rack for the front so that should solve the steering issues. I don't care about laying the frame on the ground I just want a low ride height, crushing beer cans would be fun though

I would like to get mine as low as this one, I love that blazer

That one is just aired out on 20s/18s w/ a c-notch out back. Shouldn't be too hard to duplicate. You could ride that low with a small step notch and a sectioned crossmember.

The reason I mentioned the Bill Turner stuff is that it is already sectioned and set-up for the R&P. Would make life a lot easier.

earl87gta · 10-09-2007, 04:55 PM

looks like a sweet project. I would go with that plan the vet stuf is cool but for the $$$$ I dont think the ride would be that much better.

Those 20's don't look that bad with that much lip. Reckon they would redo mine?

How are you bolting up the 400 to the 6.0? It would be cheaper to get a 4L80E than to add a gearvendor unit.

You can get a flywheel of a 98 ls1 and a spacer and it is supposed to bolt up with little fab. I already have a good th400 and may not even get a gear vendor since this aint no daily driver but you can find them cheap if you look hard.

You and me both. The pic is one I found on the site somewhere.

jkade · 10-09-2007, 07:59 PM

I did get all the 67 suspension back under it this afternoon ( it has 4 tires under it again) so the next step is to figure out how far I want to move the front suspension foward and how much I want to move the rear suspension back. I will then pull the tub and move the suspension and take the frame and parts and have them blasted and power coated.

Where should I start looking? I haven't seen any real deals.

I see them on craigslist from time to time for decent price but it will take some trailing arm crossmember mods to make it work in a blazer.

jkade · 10-12-2007, 08:23 AM

What is the easiest way to put the tub on a rotisserie? Anyone have pics?

gringoloco · 10-12-2007, 03:59 PM

Check bagged74's build thread. That's the only pics I've seen on here.

It's hard to tell on the front how he has it mounted. I guess I will figure it out when I get to that point

jkade · 10-17-2007, 08:18 PM

Got the tub on the rotisserie, it was pretty simple.

meathead95 · 10-18-2007, 05:13 PM
