Re: 72 2wd blazer build
The notch is where the bag mounts, its actually just in front of the axle.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Ahhhhh . . ..... I should have looked closer @ the pic. Notched to maintain the same ride height @ a slightly higher air pressure for a better ride?

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Here are a couple more, to give you a better view of the tubular trailing arms. You can also see the exhaust passages that I made in the trailing arm crossmember.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
I finally got the body back on the frame.
I wanted to coat the bottom of the tub with something that would seal everything and kind of deaden everything a little. I ended up going with Raptor Liner spray in bed liner material. It is a urethane based spray on, I guess time will tell how well it works. It seems nice, I am contemplating coating the inside of the tub as well. The frame is coated with POR 15, the bottom of the tub is bedliner, and it has new poly body mounts, so hopefully it will last a while. You can also see some progress on the firewall in these pics.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
in these pics you can see the the notch in relation to the floor. you can also see the shock mounts. You may also notice that my frame is nasty because it got rained on while it was outside.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Bagged- Got a few questions for you:
- How big is your step notch? standard 8"? Are you using all of it? - I see you have 4x4s on the axle to roll around; how close is the pinch weld from touching the ground if you pull them out and dump the front? - How high does the notch protrude into the bed area? What are your plans for it? Back seat? Thanks -Chris
