Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
You might try shopping for a truck that has the axles, like a mid 70's 1 ton 4x4. Buy the truck, strip it and scrap what you can't use/sell. The rear axle is usually not that hard to find. I'm pretty sure I've seen them almost everytime at a junkyard. The front is definitely more rare.

Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
I rarely post up here but Ive got to say the cage looks great. Every time I would look at a picture and wonder why there was a tube there with no intersection the next shot showed one there. Very well thought out work! With the amount of work involved in the suspension I think you are going the right route on the axles and doing it once.

Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
Yeah, no dead tubes are allowed if I can help it. When its done, it will be stout. Thanks for the props, I appreciate that!!

Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
Why is it the people who build the best stuff always post the least amount of pictures? *hint hint*

Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
Did you ever find some axels? There's a set in our local paper for $1500 http://www.tradewindsweekly.com/deta...x?adnum=390723 (not mine) But shipping might not be worth it.

Re: Here is a "Not Your Typical" 4wd Blazer build
Thanks for looking out!! I have not found anything local. I found some on Pirate4x4, but shipping was almost $500.00. I will wait till I find them local or find a beat up 1 ton truck that I can strip.
As of right now, I am using the 44 until I come across a deal on the 60/44. I figured that I already spent the money on all the seals, hi steer parts and the knuckle machining. I may as well use it till it breaks. If I tried to sell it, I would not get my money back anyway. Thats what I get for my lack of searching before I started. I am going to leave the stock axles and the stock 3.73 gearing also. Should be a pig on the low rpm, but good at highway speeds Thanks again for looking out.
