Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Why get rid of the leaf springs? Just do an axle flip to get it sitting better...

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
I like the trailing arm ride better. If I keep leafs, I need to get new leafs anyways and those aren't cheap either. I'm also convering to 5 bolt and have a couple 71/72 trailing arm rear ends ready to go. And in the future if I want to go lower it will be simple.

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Cool project. Congrats.
FYI...some of those 4WD parts (even the little stuff) would be of value to others. Don't scrap em. You might be surprised how much of it is 1970 only and harder to come by.

Re: 1970 Blazer Build

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Got the donor frame stripped and the 2wd crossmember mocked up. Really nice that a couple of the holes line up between the 4x4 and 2wd frames.

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Moved quick to get this sandblasted and painted before cool Temps move in up here. It's not going to be a show truck but I'm super happy how it turned out. Little tight on shop space at moment so it's gonna cure on top of another frame lol.

Re: 1970 Blazer Build
Nice find! That tub does look great for any that are left sitting up in canada in a field. I've seen that top in person as well and its also in great condition, nice scoop. Im definitely in to watch your build, it will be nice to see another first gen blazer on the road in alberta. Good luck with the project
