jstplyn331 · 06-27-2012, 05:04 PM

Very Nice Build, I wish i was as far along as you, I can't wait. I stay away from this part of the web site as I start looking around I get ansy to go work on it again and have not had the time.

Great job keep the pics coming...........

d.garza9 · 06-27-2012, 11:17 PM

Then....and Now.....Can't believe it's been a year and a half already!! Like night and day...literally

thor · 06-29-2012, 08:10 PM

looks incredible!!!

Wasted Income · 06-30-2012, 10:58 AM

Dude....wow!

d.garza9 · 07-02-2012, 07:49 PM

TECH TIME::need help. I'm having issues with transmission oil migrating into the transfer case. This in turn leads to oil spewing from the transfer case and a big mess! Is there a repair kit for this or have any of you LS swappers experienced this?? I've read that this could be caused by two seals in the transfer case adapter however since I modified it I don't know if it applies to LS swaps. Thanks in advance!

Front Fender Emblems came in from Billet Badges.

I also ordered a gasket and seal kit for the NP205. I hope these parts will solve the issue of transmission oil getting into the transfer case.

thor · 07-09-2012, 11:35 AM

Nice badges!

tubbedII · 07-09-2012, 11:40 AM

That badge fits the area nicely!

Wasted Income · 07-09-2012, 10:41 PM

I like the badges.

d.garza9 · 08-13-2012, 09:46 AM

Does anyone knpow where to get replica or aftermarket seat belts for the original rear bench seat - 72 blazer?

tubbedII · 08-13-2012, 12:06 PM

If you're looking for originals, you'd need to keep an eye out in the classifieds for a decent set. Other than that, LMC or any other catelog has repops.

d.garza9 · 08-13-2012, 04:48 PM

@tubbedii - Checked LMC but only see belts for the front seat. Let me know if you've seen a part number for the rear nech seat - Thanks.

tubbedII · 08-13-2012, 05:17 PM

Oh man...didn't realize that. I got mine locally at chevyland.com (a little pricey but was in a pinch). I checked out the truck and car shop and found these:
http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks60_72/t60_021.html

The only problem is that they don't look original at all and are just the folding type of latch buckle. If you're ok with that, then you're good to go. The rears are just non retracting belts. I think I have a set of parchment (or tan) ones in the shed from mine, but they were pretty dirty and I wanted black more than original...if you want I can take a look for them.

ColoradoK5 · 08-13-2012, 06:37 PM

Sweet Blazer!! dont know how i missed this one. Got a few questions what size of lift did you go with? and what size of rims and tires?

Came out with a good balance of new and old.

d.garza9 · 03-28-2013, 12:08 AM

Seat Belts installed now time to get back to the drawing board for sound system ideas.
