Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Looks good but I hate to be the one to point this out but your tranny or bell housing might be a bit tight.

Really? I didn't think about that I still have some trimming to do. I will cut that out when I build my tunnel.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
No pictures but there is progress. I got my brackets cut out, top and bottom for the coilovers and welded in. Got the rear tubs made and the notch cover made. Now comes the fun of fitting the tubs and welding everything up.
On a side note I bought a dash from a fellow member out of a 60-63 truck that will be grafted in. I will try and get some progress pics this weekend. Last edited by jkade; 05-26-2009 at 09:13 PM. |

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Thanks to 72bigred I got me a new dash to install. My buddy had a friend make me a set of brackets to mount the C5 rotors and calipers on the C4 spindles for free
 Got the rear tubs shaped up, you can see in the pic what I am using to seal the tubs to the fender. The tub is just sitting there in the pic, the inner fender is cut out and the tub will slide in and seal up to the bedside.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
I cut the crap out of the floor pans to get a flat surface to bring over to the trans tunnel. Has anyone ever put one of those dashes in this style truck? It looks like it won't be too bad but you never know. I plan on bringing the lines of the dash down to the console and making the console and the dash all flow together.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Sweet ride. I had a factory 2WD K5 when I was in high school, red and lowered like yours. Man I'm kicking myself now for selling it. Super sharp ride you have there. They are getting to be like "Hens teeth" impossible to find hold on to it like grim death

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Got the old floor pans cut out, rockers, inner rockers, cab mounts, rocker boxes, etc. Got me some seats out of a Chrysler Concord. Got the new floors pans close to being done and all the replacement parts welded in.

Wow, I didn't realize it has been over 2 months now since I have touched my traizer. I sure do wish they would hurry up and get my shop built.
