FNG from Fl.
Guess i better post an introduction. I bought my blazer when i was stationed in Utah. I bought it in Idaho because it was one of the few that i saw that had the A/C system on it and not too much rust damage. Utah uses salt for the roads so you see a lot of older cars with cancer. Its a 72 CST. It had the original block, dana 44 front, and 12 bolt rear.
Since i bought it, i put a 4" lift, 35" BFG KM2's, rough country 5000 shocks, replaced the 350 with a 327 that i built years ago but had low miles on it. I still have the 350 but ditched the late model heads that the PO put on. I rebuilt the front suspension with moog knuckles and tie rod ends. |
