Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Does anyone make rocker panels for the square bodies without having to buy the whole door jamb ? I can get a new one from Chevy but it is the whole door jamb .

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
I just used one that was the full rocker plus about 6" high in each jamb. Ended up cutting just a small section out of it...that's the way it goes I guess. Is this what you're looking at?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
anyone have any pictures or input on what the did with the stock frame under a K5 blazer to lay it out ? looks like i am going to have to cut off about 2 inches off the bottom and box it all in ? Maybe weld in a 4x2 box tubing all the way down the inside ?

It will be a Scott's under dash set up , the firewall should be almost completely smooth except for some bead rolled panels.......any ideas on the wiper motor ? anyway to get rid of it and still have wipers ?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
to lay pinch will have to cut some off the bottom of the frame and box it in, in this pic the blazer is sitting on the stock gas tank and the front shocks are bottomed out, it still can go down when these issues are fixed
but it gives you an idea.?. ![]() |

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
the gas tank is touching the ground in this pic ? Fighting with myself on deciding if i should go all the way down or just leave the frame alone ?? cant decide ! Yours looks great !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
thank you ......yup tank is on the ground, I wanted to do more with the frame cutting boxing but I like it as is, room is limited with these blazer's also lots of work in a small space...it's fun!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Mike, Speciality Power Windows offers a wiper kit that is cable driven. The universal kit sells for around $265, they have them for 47-59 pickups. They are easy to install and very good directions....Jim
