Re: New Rear end conversion!!!

I been collecting all these parts over the last couple of months. I took vacation this last week and thought I would get some stuff done. Used my old bracket off my trim peice and used it on the Blazer one. It was tricky and involved some trimming on the ends but all in all it only took about 3hrs start to finsh. Sent JRod the money yesterday!! Can't wait to get her down! That's next!
