Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
Glad this got moved over here because this is the first I've seen of it! This project is text-book for how to execute a super high quality build. Very very nice!

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
I found my paint guy!! I went to see a guy today who was recommended by someone on the forum and looks like he will be doing the paint/body work on the Blazer. He was in the middle of a frame off on a 69 SWB, man did it look good. He had just finished a 68 SWB and had 4 more 67-72 trucks in the yard. He obviously knows these trucks. I didn't take my camera but i will next time!!

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
If you are wanting the body and paint work top notch call
Neil Lea @ rods & restos his # is 256-927-2199. He has a car that is competing for the Riddler this year. I say this because it looks like you are doing a real high quality build and he is one of the best in the nation hands down. Last edited by jkade; 01-06-2008 at 12:13 PM. |

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
Some progress. I need to determine the placement of the tranny crossmember, but at least it is on the frame!

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
Everything's looking great! What headers are you running, and how are clearances? They look like they fit quite nice.

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
They are Hooker Headers for 2000 F-Body (per your suggestion). I didn't have to cut the frame. I am eager to see how the steering shaft you sent me works?? These headers have all the smog crab on them. Do you think there anything i can do? Or will I have to find another set?

I will be putting together our shop truck this month (same set-up you're running), and if necessary, I will just put together a support bearing bracket that bolts-on for the steering shaft, and will send you one... if you'd like. ![]()

"..., and will send you one... if you'd like.
![]() I would like that very much. By the way, is there a set placement (up and down) for your tranny crossmember. I wasn't sure if i used any of the factory holes as a guide. |

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
It's not intended to use any of the factory holes... you might get lucky!
![]() When installing, just make sure it's square... mark the holes, drill them out, and bolt it up.

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
I made a little progress so i thought i would post some pics. Please excuse the dust. I ran the fuel lines and yes they look very similar to 68SS's. That is because I liked his! I mounted 2 - 3 gallon tanks for the Level pro system and started running the air lines. I also started the brake lines. My battery died before I finished pics...so here is what I got.

Re: My 70 2wd Project begins!
I made a little progress today. Here are some pics. I would love to get some feedback on the location of the compressor. This is my install in these frames.
