Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

[72Blazerock]

I've been doing some lurking of my own on your build thread and collecting parts for my own build. I have a 56 3100 my dad gave me in high school that has 72blazer 4x4 running gear and a '69 307 v8. I now have a 56 parts truck as well. You've inspired me to begin, but I'm a bit nervous cause I don't have the level of fabrication skill you obviously have. I'm more of a "buy the kit and bolt it to the frame" type of builder. I'll have to farm out some stuff like brake lines, welding, wiring and body work. My first decision is whether to do a front spring shackle reversal with aftermarket springs vs. just rearching the stock springs and leaving the hangers stock. I have a CPP power brake kit and will be mounting the power steering box just like you did, but plan to use a 2wd box for crossover steering. I'll have about a 6in lift with 35in tires and plan to drive it daily. I'm moving the gas tank to under the bed.
I live in Pocatello and understand you might know some guys here in the hot rod building circles who might be a source of info about how and where to get things done. I hope it's ok to ask you questions on occasion as well. Thanks for posting such good pics of your build. That alone will be a great help.
Thanks,
Leon (72Blazerock)
