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 .

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?

Cool pics Mike. I need to get my old pix in digital format. I ain't posting them though.

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 ?

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you'll have to do.....whatcha doin with the mc/booster?...keepin it on the firewall or movin it inside?

[67cheby]

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 ?

ok maybe i can just figure out some really cool cover to build for it ???

[xxlf250]

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.?.

[67cheby]

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 !

over here they often use a wipermotor and drive out of a classic mini it has a flexible ribbed push pull cable running through a pipe and you can just about bend it every way you need to move it and move the capstands where ever you need them to be as long as the cable is long enough and it works
you can either get sumtin from a wreckersyard or buy them new

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!

[oldman3]

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

[watahyahknow]

thats actually the same setup as the mini only with a little more ajustability , and its allready in the states saving you a bundle in shipping
