rotadyne-
Are you running full length headers? If so how does the clearance work out? I have bags on my 72 with full length headers and no drop spindles and the collectors are less than an inch from the ground. Very nice rig by the way, i'd swap ya anyday

Man Rotadyne, that Blazer is sharp! What size tires are you running on it?

Roberty · 12-08-2003, 07:19 PM

I noticed that you sold "my"

old Blazer on Ebay, Rotadyne. Where was the guy from who bought it? Just curious where it's headed to now.

Anyone else running a 18x8 front, 20x10 wheel setup like this? I'm about to buy my wheels and tires and it sounds like my truck has the same suspension mods as this Blazer (spindles, bags, C-notch, etc).

I'm planning on 255/55-18 in front. Out back, I need to know if 295/45-20 will be too wide. If so, I'll go with 265/50-20's.

SCOTI · 12-08-2003, 09:59 PM

I've got 255/45/18's on 8" wheels w/5.25" bs up front w/3" spindles + 1 coil cut. Out back they're 295/40/20's on 10" wheels w/the equivalent of 5"bs. If the wheels are mounted on the back of the beater, it's bags +1.5" blocks, c-section & adj panhard bar.... or if they're on the 74, it's a flip kit + 2" shackles.

MrShelley · 12-09-2003, 12:19 AM

Thanks for the info SCOTI. Any problems with the rear tires rubbing when you lower the back end?

dinnut · 12-09-2003, 12:21 AM

those blazers are like twins... one low one high

rotadyne · 12-09-2003, 02:34 AM

The Blazer is gone.

A real cool dude from Ohio bought it. He has had a lot of cool cars in his time. I see him all the time at the Goodguys shows with all the coolest stuff. ('58 Cheiftan wagon on air with kidney beans, ,57 Ranchero with tripower, 69 Kingswood wagon with factory 425hp 427) It couldn't have gone to a better dude. The tire sizes on the Blazer were 245-40-18 and 295-40-20. Thanks to everybody for all the feedback on the Blazer. I already miss it as much as Roberty missed it (probably more).

SCOTI · 12-09-2003, 10:16 AM

MrShelley, no problems w/tire rub on my applications.

MrShelley · 12-09-2003, 11:02 AM

SCOTI, Rotadyne - Thanks for the info, my tires are now officially ordered!

Rotadyne, I don't know if I could have sold that Blazer. It was really really nice!
