Re: 71 AZ Rust Free CST Blazer Frame Off
Really close now. I changed my mind several times about the wheels and tires I wanted. In the end I went with the ralley wheels with 33 x 10.5 tires. Im happy with it. Too bad the blue will have to come off the lettering, it kinda goes with the truck.

Re: 71 AZ Rust Free CST Blazer Frame Off
That all looks OUTSTANDING! The tower clamps can be a real pita. Don't forget the hose clamp on the hot water bypass valve...

Re: 71 AZ Rust Free CST Blazer Frame Off
Awesome build! Mine will resemble yours very closely.
I would like to get the details on your seat covers if I could- brand, where you got them, quality,...? |

Re: 71 AZ Rust Free CST Blazer Frame Off
Awesome, I thought it was a 4"....I like the ride height....thinking of going to 2" from my 4" lift. I hear skyjacker add-a-leafs will give these k5's about 2". Do you have a measurement from ground to top of fenderwell? Thanks again for the info

Re: 71 AZ Rust Free CST Blazer Frame Off
I guess it's long gone by now. I hope it went well for you Jack. I'd have a hard time letting go of one like that. Too bad we never got to see it out and about, but 290 miles isn't much out-and-about-ness ; ) It was really cool to see the work you did on this one. Have you got another project you're working on now?
