Re: Hemi's 70 Blazer build

Dan, truck is looking great. Would love to see a full side shot of it to see the tires and stance next time your in the shop with your camera.

Did you buy new bumpers or refinish ?

FYI, I have read a few posts from others who have exhaust straight out the back. They reported getting a lot of suction of fumes back in to the passenger compartment with the top down.

The exhaust is a big concern. My thinking is if I drive fast enough, the fumes wont reach me !! To be honest, the top wont be taken down very often. I live in Canada !

I'll get a side shot when I pull it out of the booth, but I still need to raise the back about an inch to match the height of the reworked front springs. I think I'm also going to move the rear axle back about 3/4" so that it's a bit more centered in the wheel well.

I had a CJ-7 with exhaust out the back and it was a very stinky ride. My 72 has it out the side and is much better. I get more exhaust fumes with the soft top on than off. The tent is noisy! Much nicer with the top off.
