1. Get it running.
2. Lower it.
3. Drive the crap out of it.

Where I grew up, a neighbor had an 80 model 2wd, loaded and blue. Nice score.

BaggedRanger · 02-16-2012, 08:21 PM

**AsianBlazer** · 02-22-2012, 04:50 PM

I like it, nice stance. Any plans for wheels/tires, or are you going with what you have currently?

chevellelover · 02-22-2012, 08:54 PM

I put those on. It had 15 by 7 rallys on it with 275/60's all the way around and they rubbed in the front so I put those. I like the look so much better

Hey Chevelle- how's yours lowered? Any bigger pics? Thanks, Jim

chevellelover · 02-23-2012, 10:59 AM

2 1/2 in spindles in front with 2 coils cut. Had to shim it out alot but all that was done before I got it. Back is shackles and hangers with all leafs taken out but main and overload. Relocated shocks measured to the drop. It rides great. I'm not happy with it in general because instead of putting smaller tire in front, previous owner took out wheel wells. The cruise control was mounted on them and tire changing equipment.

Its really low I can give u fender to ground measurements. Its a doable drop just had to do without cutting corners like previous owner did. It scrapes the fender occasionally when I turn sharp and if u back up with the wheels turned hard it will rub heater core. That's why I don't like it but it looks cool I guess

Mines A 79 Having some smog issues can anyone one give me some advice????????????????
Cant seem to get the timing adjusted right bought a new harmonic balancer replaced the carburetor every time I set the timing the carburetor starts back firing and the engine dies. Ive been having trouble finding some one who can fix it. Some one told me it may be the timing chain but Im stuck.

CircusWagonJim · 02-23-2012, 02:52 PM

Sounds like the chain is off. Clean Blazer!!!

Do you have any info on the hangers? do you know who makes them? i looked and looked and could never find a company that made hangers for the Blazer.

I thought about having some made for my truck, then i just decided to flip the axle.

can you take pictures of them?

I love the stance of the truck! she looks great, makes me wana go work on mine!lol
