Instead of a "C notch" i'd call that the "waffle notch"

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Thanks guys it really is turning out cool, even my wife is really digging it and she hated it when it came home!
Well I got the front two rows of seats mounted, can't believe it took most of the day. The second row mounts will double as the frame work for the closure plates for my under seat storage. I made mount plates for the front seats to make sure they were good because of the built in seat belts. All seat mounts have weld nuts so it makes things very easy to install and remove.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
It's a multi use wheel table. It held my coffee this morning, my soda at lunch and by the time my DropMember shows up my real front wheels will be here. Thanks again for the hitch info it really helped. You will not believe how little space will be left when I am done. The center of the rear frame is filled with the tank, the out side of the frame will have my sway bar links and brackets, my 6 link bag set up, dual shocks and air tanks oh ya and exhaust! It is all going to fit and fit well but very tight.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Kevin, thanks for the advise for proper tank flushing, u mentioned u got your tank off a blazer, was it a full size blazer? How about the sending unit? U said u got it new, but for a 87-91 ?

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Yes the tank is off a full size and is a 25gal. This one came from a pre 87 blazer that had a carburetor but it is the same as the 87-91 blazer tanks with TBI so I just ordered a later sending unit so I can do an in tank pump for my 05 Vortec. Now keep in mind it is a passenger side fill tank stock and if you have a SWB truck with coils it is a very tight fit. I installed one of these in LowBuck and show more about how tight it is in that thread. The sending unit will work with a stock 67-72 gauge with out any problems.

For right now I will just be using the stock Truck Vortec fuel system that is on the fuel rails. Down the road I may swap over to the Corvette intake or a small air pumper As for the in tank pump we looked up the Vortec PSI and it was like 62.4 PSI and we found another in tank pump that will fit the Blazer 87-91 sender that is 61.8 PSI. So as long as I am not doing the all out race thru Nevada I should be just fine. Plus my cost on the new sender was $80 and the new pump is $93 regular price $165. It's good to have Friends in the right places that need your help as well Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 03-01-2009 at 11:22 AM. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Looks great Kevin. I'm sure you've probably already noticed, but the factory liftgates do not curve at the bottom to match the curve in the tailgates and will require some metal work to make it look perfect. I didn't realize this until we had already painted mine......

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Those hinges look somewhat familiar? Looks like you're putting them to good use!

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I have a few shock measurements to go out and check but it will need a bit of mods to the shock pocket to get it to open this far I am sure.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
It opens pretty high. The shock is 19" from the top screw hole to the lower ball joint. It uses 6 3/4" of travel, but offers 7 3/4" max travel..
If a super long shock is needed, rear hatch shocks out of the third and 4th gen F-Bodies are huge. I have a '90 Firebird that can be measured if that much travel is needed. But definiatly diggin' the hidden hinges. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
It's a two way street Didn't I mention that mod was a royal PITA? I seriously think it took longer than the Tahoe'ing (excluding finish work). Looking good!

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Kevin, your burb sure is coming along, i am glad to see that you plug welded your 6-link brakets in, not many think to do that. your burb makes me want one, but to be honest i am thinking a crew cab dually slammed with a duramax, of cours it has to be a 72. And as for the toy fund i totally agree, i have to start on a 69 camaro next week and a 68 camaro in about a month. the stuff we have to do to get what we want. Later
James
