Thumbs up Got A Full Plate Staring Me In The Face!!

hey guys , figured id let yall in on my latest plans for the blaze, i bought a couple shortbeds yesturdee and the plans are as follows , the first time we get warm weather

the general is coming apart due to many frame cracks and shes just not getting used anymore

doghouse is coming off the general going on the 87 , the 355 is coming out of the blazer and going in the 87 to be used as a daily driver, the 468 bigblock is coming out of the general and going in the blaze , 87 gets sanded and painted , blaze gets top saned smooth and goes white , rear flares get repaired and blaze willbve sanded primed and hugger orange , gonna take the custom grille out and ship to zoomy , im trading him for a nice 70 grille, 1/2 ton axles are gettin yanked from the blaze for a 14 bolt corp out back with a locker and a dana 44 front , 60 if i come across another tho, then ill have to find my 39.5 boggers and white steel bart monster wheels and i wil be done , i know i can get it all done by the ned of summer but im not sure about the boggers and rims , thats gonna take alot of money , the rest i can do all by myself , and my brother will paint them , any ways just lettin yall know my plans for the upcoming spring , whats youres ? heres the same pic of the blaze youve seen over and over agan ,, i just like lookin at it ,haha

this is the general for the new guys , ive run her in the mud drags and even got to pull a ford that wouldnt race me down mainstreet with a police escort when the local tow company couldnt be reached when the ford broke down on mainstreet, thats a whole nuther post in itself, 468 that started life in my 67 shortbox factory 4x4 , , ive had fun in the general but she just dont move anymore , and the frame has been patched enough that it is no longer safe imo so im gonna give her an honorable discharge and dissasemble

i would but the cab is pretty ruseted, plus if i do that and keep her going then ill never get around to puttin the bigblock in the blazer , im gonna try to get as clost to my shortbed without actually copying it identicle , so i figured id do the same drivetrain and colors to a blazer and that would be close enough
