BUDDY · 12-15-2006, 05:12 PM

I posted a Wish list of parts here.

It has a lot of links, so I though it appropriate to repost those here.

Wish list for 1972 K5 Blazer

Duramax Diesel - or 8.1 vortec
ZF-6 manual transmission
Doubler - (Off-Road Design or Klune-V)
Rock Jock 60 Front 5.13's ARB 35 spline outer's (maybe Rocks front & rear) - disk brakes all-around
van 14 bolt rear with disks & working parking brake - (maybe out of the same donor for the engine & transmission)
Vanco hydro assist brake system
hydraulic ram assist power steering - (Howe, PSC, Redneck Ram stage 2 I already have a new box)
"hi-steer" crossover steering
39-42" tires with staun internal beadlocks on widened factory HD alloy wheels
trim, trim, trim fenders to keep tires from ripping them up - maybe some bushwacker cut-out flares for a vintage burb.
warn winch(es) 9500 ti minimum
LOW COG!!
York OBA with 3-gallon storage
Ready-welder - Premier power box & alternator
Under hood shower
simple dual optima setup - marine switch, big fuse (batteries mounted along framerail in front of rear springs)
Electric cooling fans with manual override for water-crossings
elevated gear box & axle breather's for water crossings
"water-proofed" mechanicals for water crossings
functional cowl-induction hood with relocated air-intake
"POR"ed (or zero-rust) frame for rust prevention
Custom Flat belly-skid plate - "Massage"

floorpan for drivetrain fitment
63" leafs in rear (custom frame mounts with shackle-flip) about 4-5" lift - Sway-A-Way resevoir shocks
center mounted traction bar to limit axle wrap, but not articulation - like Sam's off-road
52" leafs in front (custom frame mounts) about 4-5" lift - Sway-A-Way resevoir shocks
Full "family-style" Cage - kinda like this, but with seat mounts & overhead stringers around the console
full-length 2X6 tube rocker sliders w/ tubular step like All-pro's for toyota's, but actually welded to the 2X6 tube replacing the rockers
Single exhaust tip to exit through p/r quarter in front of rear tire (above rock slider for protection)
custom fuel tank with integrated steel diamond plate skid
custom aux fuel tank where oem is currently with skid
Custom canvas soft top (for when the camper isn't on) - Oh I wish Can-Back would make more than one of these
Tubular bumpers like Off-Road design's version & something similar in back with full-sized spare capabilities, as well as 60" hi-lift, shovel
autometer phantom gauges in factory bezel
additional gauges along a-pillar if needed
tahoe seats - (split removable 3rd seat in rear) in tan
nice sound system that doesn't take up much space
automated 8" flip-down touchscreen above rear view mirror for carpc interface
"spotter" camera's in wheelwells protected somehow (lexan)

Buddy
