LonghornJeff · 07-21-2007, 09:42 PM

Welcome to the board.
Nice blazer!

**Yukon Jack** · 07-23-2007, 09:37 AM

Looks like a ton of progress in such a short time! Are you rehabing the top also?

bigbadchev72 · 07-23-2007, 12:29 PM

The weather has been nice enough to not worry about it. As soon as I get it painted and put back together Ill get the top back from my parents place and start the fiberglass work on it.

I just set the paint date for Aug 10th. I am debating on wether or not to start installing the wiring harness before paint or after. I have a couple more days of bodywork and should have it ready

**Thealien** · 07-23-2007, 03:03 PM

looks good, keep the pics coming!

71chevylowrider · 07-23-2007, 03:46 PM

ABLAZN · 07-24-2007, 11:36 PM

from the other side of the state !!!! I noticed the beefy 8 lug axles, did you put those in, or did it come that way ?

bigbadchev72 · 07-25-2007, 12:38 AM

the previous owner did, Not too spectacular, it is a closed knuckle dana 44 with 4.56gears and a dana 60 rear, They are getting yanked out when I stick the drivetrain from my dd Into it. Mild 350/sm465/208 Hydraulic clutch, 8" All spring lift kit with 1" zerorates, dana44/14bolt ff Rear with 4.56gears with limited slips, I will be selling off my 39.5 boggers on my dd In favor of some
