man you guys were crazy quick with that transformation, super nice blazer to start off with. Nice finished look

jmuck · 09-19-2007, 09:58 AM

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys. The wheels are 20x8.5 on the front and 20x10 on the rear. They are boyd coddington Smoothie II. I will post updated pics later.

jmuck · 10-01-2007, 05:55 PM

Well actually it took me 2 months to get it finished.

ABLAZN · 10-01-2007, 06:24 PM

Holy stinking cow !!!!!! That turned out nice !!!!!!

NTR72GMC · 10-01-2007, 06:41 PM

That Is Sweet!!!!!!!

gringoloco · 10-01-2007, 07:30 PM

Nice to see another convert nearby. Looks good!

How's the bed area look? No back seat, I see...

kyle4381 · 10-01-2007, 08:05 PM

Post some more pics. Looks sweet..

**lolife99** · 10-01-2007, 09:35 PM

Very VERY nice! How much would you charge to convert another? (Without the LS style motor.)

streetstar · 10-01-2007, 10:38 PM

are the front frame rails stock ? what mods did you have do to fit the 2wd a-arm setup?

crzngmychvy · 10-01-2007, 10:55 PM

COOL

That looks great! I keep thinking if we got all the 2wd blazers from this board together in one place that would be really something. Yours looks bada$$!

**Yukon Jack** · 10-02-2007, 09:48 AM

You've done a great job on that - very nice!

jmuck · 10-02-2007, 09:53 AM

As for how much $ to convert another one it would just depend on what extreme you would want to go to. Such as channeling the front X member, stoch or tubular A-arms, air bags? The engine would have to come out of the vehicle no matter what. Let me know exactly what you are looking for.

jmuck · 10-02-2007, 09:55 AM

The frame is stock and as far as the front X-member it came out of a mid 80's model truck and slid right into place also used the steering out of the truck to go with the correct ball joints. It has 3" drop spindles on it. This one was a little more extreme because I channeled the front X member

**Nobby** · 10-08-2007, 06:45 PM

Hey jmuck I tried to find you all weekend at the coast cruise to get a better look at your blazer. On sat evening we passed each other on the beach road but I couldn't turn back to catch you.I was in the red 71 2wd blazer.Later

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-08-2007, 07:10 PM

jmuck · 10-09-2007, 05:56 PM

Hey Nobby, I did see you pass me on Hwy 90 in your red blazer. It looked bad axx. I was happy to see another 2wd blazer. I saw several blazers but yours was the only other 2wd I saw. We cruised all night on sat. and I looked for your blazer the entire time but never could find it. Is your blazer bagged? It looked like you were cruzin low when you passed us.

**Nobby** · 10-09-2007, 06:30 PM

Thats my buddy's 2wd,mine was not finished for the cruise so I took his. The red one was bagged at one time but a couple of owners back someone put springs in the front but left bags in the back.It's in line for a full make over.We have 4 factory 2wd's in a 5 mile radius from my house and next year we will all be cruisin the coast. Later Nobby

bouncytruck · 10-09-2007, 07:32 PM

That thing looks great. It has got my head spinning about converting mine. Next year, my truck will be retired as my daily driver, then ya never know what might happen...

You've been talking about a 2wd for a long time. Has the moment arrived to move on it?

Its still my daily driver, but as soon as it is retired from daily duties, it's fair game IMO. I think I'd enjoy a slammed 2wd "hot-rod" a little more.

Hey bouncytruck, I would love to help you out but I am in Texas so I can only answer questions about what I did, but if you need moral support just ask. I am a professional at everything and I always do things right the 1st time.(only on the computer) HA!HA!

earl87gta · 10-10-2007, 06:05 PM
