Re: Naught's 82 2wd K5 Blazer
Ok so I got distracted for a little while but it helped build the slush fund back up. Thanks to cruisin the coast for getting me back on track….. Had to put body back on to get some final measurements for the last little bit of frame mods.

Re: Naught's 82 2wd K5 Blazer
Looks like a good update to me!

I'm a bit concerned about the upper coil over mounts not being strong enough though.

You probably can’t see in pics but there is a flat bar welded to the bottom of the pipe for the coil mount. It’s actually Porter Built coil over mount cut.

Not sure what size wheel yet. The rear is out of a 66 chevy truck so it's 3" narrower than the stock one. Because of that i'll be trying to stuff the biggest wheel tire combo with the right offset. The rack & pinion setup is from No Limit Engineering. I believe it's a Chevy truck rack, maybe around 2002.
