Re: 1969 Short Wide

I've been seeing your IG pics, but reading the details on here makes it that much better. Looks great Mike!

By the way, I don't know if the 73 up axles are wider than the 71-72, but I have 295's on my 20x10 with 5.5" backspacing on my factory 71 rear axle housing and it clears just fine. It's about as much as I can comfortably do before I get nervous about rubbing either inside or outside. My pan-hard bar had to be adjusted to make sure it was all centered too, but I have about 1/2" clearance all around.

I didn’t did measure mine center to center after I lowered it. It’s still spot on

The 71-72 5-lug housings are the same width as 73-87's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks Boynton. It's an 89 model. It's pretty much stock with a 5.7 TBI engine.
It's fun to drive too.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

I like any full size blazer. I’m building a 72 k5 for my wife (I haven’t posted about it yet). I have a ton of memories from my childhood in blazers and I think they are way to fun! Nice snag.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Wish I had room in my shop for one of those. With all the bodywork, we'd be tripping over it, so I passed. I came thaaaaaaaat close, though!
