Here's some pics of the insides for ya!

We did not have to trim any of the fender... the camber is not set yet, but it looks like it will have plenty of room. The battery tra/hold-down will need to be modded... this battery will be relocated. I also tried to get some pics of firewall to tire clearance where the factory A/C box and blower motor go. I am feeling pretty good about stuffing the factory A/C box back in! Looks like we will only have to make some minor changes.

Thanks for the pics. It appears that the most cutting is required in the bed. Could that be resolved by raising the bed floor and tubs?

You may already know this, but we used a early 60's blower fan on my 82 Blazer a/c box. It is lower profile, and gave us almost an inch of additional clearence. We did have to section the box to gain the rest of what we needed, but it would clear with a 28" tall tire. Of course that was with a stock crossmember.

Yes, I think the "cutting" in the bed could be eliminated/minimized by raising the bed-floor and the tubs.

Thanks for the heads up on the blower motor... there's still a whole lot I don't know!

Really nice truck. I am glad you have a photo of the engine bay; now I know what I need to loose on mine BEFORE I put it back together. Haha.

I'm sure you could find someone w/a 74~74 that could use it.... Ooops, I meant 73~87 .

If it goes, it will be part of a "package deal". You know anyone that wants to update their 74~74 to an 82?
