78 2wd Blazer build - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I Spot welded the air bag brackets on the back today and found a new place for the air pump. I hope to have everything welded up on Monday. With the air out on the bags it will sit on the frame and tuck about 4" of tire.

Sweet Blazer!!!! Lots of work. I spent 3 years on mine, drove it 2 and sold it. Miss it sometimes. Oct 2004 TOTM.

Keep up the good work.

Looking good man!!!!

I am going to move my air comp. outside as well. There sure is ALOT of trial and error in building these air ride systems.

tvblazer78 · 04-02-2007, 01:56 PM

Ya, more I looked at the air pump, I said I better do now or I would not do it at all. Thanks for your help.

Did you get your blazer painted?

Not Yet, I have been busy with Work and Coaching my seven year olds baseball team. I hope to get back on it soon. It should'nt take long once I get started. It's just getting the time. I'm sure you know how that is!!!

tvblazer78 · 04-02-2007, 01:53 PM

Thanks man, sorry you sold it. I have seen your blazer looks good.

Are you still running the leaf spring set up with just a single spring to line up the axle? I was thinking of doing this with my 47 1/2 ton and I'm curious to see how it works for you. Any plans of a track bar?
By the way, I love your Blazer!

tvblazer78 · 04-03-2007, 05:30 PM

Here is some pic's with it all the way up and all the way down.

(Onedayjake) I am running the leaf spring set up, but I did not take any out. I have to much motor just to run one leaf. It should work out good I will keep you updated. Here is a pic of the setup. Thanks.

onedayjake · 04-03-2007, 05:57 PM

I see now that you have the axle flipped to the top. I love the stance and can't wait to see it finished!

papawheelie · 05-15-2007, 03:33 PM

Nice looking truck! and I really like the wheel selection. I've always liked the old Torq-Thrust D style of wheels and those are similar. Makes you want to lay some smokies down!

GKsport67 · 02-03-2008, 06:03 AM

Nice Blazer! ...is it me or does Chevy's look the best in BLACK?

tvblazer78 · 02-16-2008, 08:16 AM

Thanks you all,

Here is some updated pics.. I added to my air cleaner last week hope you all like it.

The only thing left is get my head rest on my back seat coverd.

Twisted78SS · 02-16-2008, 11:09 AM

Trav,

as usual, your ride is an inspiration! Awesome.

I have a question, is that braided line I see on your manifold serve as a cross over between the front and rear water ports?

tvblazer78 · 02-16-2008, 09:52 PM

You got it Drew.. That keeps the water moving and not just setting out back.

Thanks for all the cool replys.

Thank you.

Here is one that I took last night, when Josh was shooting it..

Hoods69BadBowTie · 04-05-2007, 12:39 PM

Awesome, Blazer looks sick when its layed out. I agree I am usually into the lifted trucks but that is such a nice dropped Blazer! Great job.

I put the roll pan on today and started on the dash, I need to do some sanding on the dash and then primer it. I should have all of the dash put back in this week. Fun Fun. I am trying to get this thing done for the GMC & Chevy truck Nats the first weekend of May. I will be cutting it close.
