Re: 1970 Blazer Granny Gear

That's next on the list.

When I first got this K5 I drove it around town enough to figure out what needed to be done. Since then I have torn down the body and hope to get the finish coat on today.

I'm running 285/75R16s so they are 32 inches from the ground up. It didn't come with a tach in the cluster, but there is a space for one. I'm going to hook up a temp tach until I get one for the cluster, but for now I can hear that the RPMs are high enough in 4th at 60-65 that I don't want to push it any more than that. Once I get done with the body resto, I will jack it up and find out the gearing. When I do swap out the tranny, I will put in an overdrive. A friend of mine who I did some work for is giving me a complete running 2008 Tahoe LTZ (4X4) with the 5.3L motor, and overdrive tranny, so I will see what I can do with that.

I have lots of other things that I will be posting about, so more to come, and thanks for the help!!
