hahaha....that looks familiar....i traded that blaze to my buddy mike in parker to get my bagged 68 burb back, then the bagged 68 burb went back on ebay to a guy in cali, now my blaze ended up in texas......small world.... thats a 3.5" z.....i never really thought of it as scary but.....i guess if you are a bit squeemish it might be a little frightening??? that 1/4" flat bar is on the inside just as an added bonus, it is fishplated with 1/4" plate on the outside of the rails as well. give ya 5 bucks if you can break it!! was gonna finishin plating the bottom and boxing it in for cosmetic purposes but never got to it. good luck with the project. i still got the trans xmember i fabbed for that thing sitting in my shop too.

lownfast · 07-05-2006, 04:47 PM

cant really turn with those big tires, but i have some others that will go on the wheels before the clip is back on, maybe i will get a half turn out of it then..lol

i've run into an issue with the upper control arms, the studs on the passenger side upper are loose in the frame, can i tap them back in or should i have a shop do it for me?? please help!!

markep · 07-19-2006, 10:03 PM

when you switched to 2d drive, did you just swap in front crossmember from the 2wd drive?

lownfast · 07-20-2006, 10:01 AM

no i didnt swap crossmembers, i found a two wheel frame and swapped them out. im looking for another frame now, im going to do a full frame build while i drive the blazer and then swap the body on to the new frame, then probly sell the existing frame.

markep · 07-20-2006, 06:16 PM
