BigChevMan · 08-05-2003, 01:47 PM

do you have any hi-res large pictures of that truck? If so could you send them to me @ bigchevman@ameritech.net

Lobo'74 · 08-05-2003, 01:54 PM

Gorgeous ride. Lots of time and effort put in to that one. You do nice work.

A.P. · 08-05-2003, 07:26 PM

That interior is @$$ kicking.

LeftCoast32 · 08-05-2003, 10:12 PM

Thanks for the compliments. It will have black and white houndstooth buckets, I am also going to put the air bag controls and the stereo in the center console. The first thing I need to do as soon as I get back is to sell my 1992 GMC Typhoon it only has 74,000 miles on it. I will be asking $17,000!!!

Nice Job. Keep us updated on the interior.

LeftCoast32 · 08-06-2003, 02:03 AM

It is frustrating to have a vehicle that you put so much time and effort into and then it wont even fit in any normal garage. I had to have a custom garage door put on my last house just to move it in and out. It is also hard to keep gas in it as a 4X4, the best milage I have even gotten out of it was 7 MPG and that hurts. Check out the tread under the suspesion forum titled Air Bagged Suspension and see the suspension that is going under the Blazer. I cannt decide whether to put all the 4X4 suspension on the pickup frame or just part it all out. Everything for the suspension is brand new and fully detailed.

hey 1972 blazer are you a Marine?, by the way nice looking blazer

LeftCoast32 · 08-06-2003, 04:55 AM

Yes I am a Marine, currently I am here on Okinawa, Japan. I should be home in Southern California by September, we have been over here since June of 2002. Thanks for the compliments on the Blazer.

JayDubBlazer · 08-06-2003, 05:56 AM

Not a marine prior service National Guard butI know how you feel, I am currently in Kuwait. I can't wait to get home to work on my truck.

Man, sure do wish I could take that Typhoon off your hands! Unfortunately, you're a little too far away, and paying for college comes first.

ucmydust68 · 08-06-2003, 10:08 AM

where can you get a rear disk kit? and what size wheel and tires are those?? that thing sits sweet

still w.i.p '68 · 08-06-2003, 11:10 AM

Black72's truck is
riding on 17'' torque thrust II,
the disc brake rear end is out of
about a (96 I believe) caprice cop car
and the proportional valve is out of the cop car also.

a couple of years ago there was a masive flood
in houston Texas, and a local man here was bringing
those cop cars with disc brake rear ends, and LT 1's
in them up to our area, and make dirt trackers out of them,
he was giving $ 500.00 buck for them, wish I could have bought a couple for the motors, and rear ends, any way look for those
cop cars for rear ends!!!

ucmydust68 · 08-06-2003, 12:54 PM

thanks for the help, any idea what size tire??? i know where i can get the rear ends so i can do that, did he use the entire rear end or just the disks???
thanks again

still w.i.p '68 · 08-06-2003, 03:48 PM

he used the entire rear end, just weld on some
saddles at the proper pinion angle, and your stylin, as
for tire size I don't know off hand, the next time I'm at his house I'll check it out.
