Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
When you're doing everything right and not asking too many questions people like to just sit back and look at all the fun pictures. Atleast i know i do

Haa, ya. I do ask questions but dont get many answers... I was wanting to completely seal in the rockers.. Sand blast them, epoxy, then completely panel them in so no mud ever gets in them again. I saw a guy do that here once but i cant find the post.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Nice work! Always amazed by the amount of rust a lot of you guys tackle. Can't wait to see how that cage comes out. My Blazer came with a full Bronco Bob cage, but with the regular back half instead of the family cage. Wish I had the full family cage like yours!

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
I'm looking at the same cage from bronco bob. I to am a cage virgin. So how involved is putting this kit together? I have a friend who is a certified welder that can help me. How well did it go together? Can you give us some more pics? Always remember, any info you put out there somebody can always learn from your experiences.

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
I dont see why you couldnt seal them off, would probably be easier to just "enhance" the drain system of the rockers and coat them in a ton of some sort of rust encapsulation. I even joked around with a buddy of mine about making a little door in the front of both of them so that you could get a hose in there and really clean it out good. Just buy an extra set of rockers, putting new ones in every 30 years isnt that bad is it?

Re: Started a new project. 1970 Blazer.
Slow going, but im moving... I picked up some 3/4 ton axles. 10 bolt front end, and whatever the rear is. THey are out of a 78. 4.10 gears. IM going with the ORD cross over steering so im going to blow these apart, new brakes, new bearings, and pick up some more parts from ORD. Unfortunately this knuckle doesnt work so i have to buy the flat top knuckle. Here is some misc. crap pics. Tearing apart the axles is fun. If anyone knows WHAT size these allan studs are for the hub PLEASE tell me. I went through everything i had and couldnt find the right size. What a PITA. ![]() Buried in all the grease i found the snap ring. That was fun having one side NOT have that and this side did. I couldnt figure it out. So much grease. ![]() ![]() Dana. 45-11 So that should be 4.10 gears. Looks ok. There was some rusty corrosion on the ring gear. Hopefully that just cleans right off. We will see... ![]() This is my trans cover. There were 20 plus holes in this thing. Im trying to get it good enough to hide in linex.. Im debating on finding another one. I know they go for a couple hundred and thats not bad, but i keep adding a 100 here and a 100 there. It adds up really quick. ![]() First round of grinding. Need to do some metal work, then regrind. I should get it PRETTY good, my metal skills are ok, but not good enough to get this to 100% ![]()

That's going to be a completely new truck by the time you're done.
I hate moving during the middle of a project. I had to do that twice, and it was a royal pain. |

Are the pics showing up? Ya, it will be. This is a second frame, building it up from scratch and then slapping the body on it.... I just need more room, we have an offer on a house and are just waiting right now. Sucks.

That's a monster. How much power do you expect it to put out?
