Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Bill! Just like everyone else, I planned on being finished with it a year ago. Seriously though, I hope to have all of the metal work done and be in primer before it gets too hot this summer. Mid May is what I'm shooting for, but if you read back through my thread you'll see a few other deadlines that I missed.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Very inspirational thread! I vote silver also. You'll be much happier on hot days for not choosing black...

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks. It's all still up in the air. I've decided to go a different direction in the engine compartment. I'll be posting pics pretty soon. Stay tuned.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Shruken,
Sweet truck. Could you tell me/us the year model on the blazer gas tank? And is it S10 or Fullsize? My guess is not S10. Color wise go black and/or flat. I am thinking seriously about doing my whole truck gloss black and the front end grill easy tape off part, grill, headlight rings, and front bumper a flat gray w/ dark gray wheels. |

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I bought the same gas tank from Pick A Part. After I pulled it out I noticed that they punch a hole in it to drain the gas out. I didn't notice it while laying on the ground. Oh well the price was right. I welded up the hole, and tested it for leaks.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
My tank may be on the way out because of the new fuel requirements I'm going to have shortly. I think I'm going to end up with a baffled custom stainless tank. I'll post pics next week and this will all make more sense.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I just read through your whole build thread. I must say, great build, very motivating.
I just got a 65 Stepside SBW last mth, its needs alot of work, and your build gives me alot of ideas. Its my DD right now, but when my 89 mustang gets outta the body shop, I will start driving it more and pull the truck into the garage and start working on the rust and other things. -John |

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Could you give me the dimensions of the Blazer tank? Did you have to cut the frame any to get it in there? I am going to raise my bed floor about 7" to clear my suspension and would like to to have as little tank below the frame as possible.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
If your going to raise your floor why not raise the tank also?

If your bed floor is going up 7" you should be able to tuck the tank almost all the way up inside the frame.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I was thinking about just dropping it in on top of the frame rails if it would fit. I found on LMC that the tank was about 28" wide but I assume that was the flange and not the actual tank. Mine is a long bed and the crooked crossmember has been removed because of the bridge notch.

New developments. Out with the old 350.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Got the stainless brake lines plumbed. The kit is from Inline Tube. It fit great but they don't make a conversion for rear disk. I had to make some custom bends on the ends and luckily the Baer brake kit came with braided hoses with banjo fittings.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
The stainless brake line kit was for a 66 short bed with a disk conversion. The Baer brake kit was the Track Plus 13" rear set up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Here's how it sits at the moment. Planning the engine build has taken a while, especially since I've never touched an LS motor.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
It is new-ish. It's got 25000 miles on it but took it out and painted it, put new freeze plugs in it, worked the stock heads, new intake, headers, water pump, oil pump, etc. I'm trying to get rid of it now. I just thought the LS2 fit the build better and I'm interested in the LS fuel injected stuff. Basically curiosity is the reason for the change.
