71 2wd conversion project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

No work done on the body or frame. with all the rain, work around the house and then my d.d. took a hit to the frnt left so that burned up my parts fund. hopefully once bike week is over i can work on my trk and get it fixed then on to the frame for the blazer. On a good note, im headed down to the good guys show in springfield mass this w/e. hope its a good turn out.

Havent done any real work on the project lately. been busy with other projects. I have been brain storming the build, gathering parts, and working on my body cart. got the idea and dimensions from 2fast55. not done yet still need to fab uprights and caster mount plates. i bough some 10" rubber neumatic casters and made all the body mount plates. working in a machine shop makes fab work alot easier. I picked up a manual brake/ clutch assy from a board member and plan to put either a t56 or nv4500 behind the 400 smb i got from my dad. nothing worth pics, sorry guys. Ill post some up of the body cart soon before i put the blzr on it.

Oh, ment to ask if anyone with a standard blazer or truck could post some pics of the brake /clutch assy mounting and how the rods go i'd appreciate it. I think im going with a hydro clutch but not sure how the under dash assy mounts up.
