The kit for the c4 suspension is part number 140-9298. I will need to pull the rec to check what the price was. The best quote i have on the rear kit is $1410.

You were asking about mufflers, here are magnaflows on a ls1 truck.

Nice! I will definitely go with the moroso or the magnaflow. Will you run the 4" round with 2.5" in/out on your blazer? What about a X?

Yes, I will run them on it also and I will run a x on it too. I already have all my stainless pipe just need the mufflers.

Glad this got moved over here because this is the first I've seen of it! This project is text-book for how to execute a super high quality build. Very very nice!

Thanks - This is my first 67-72 truck/blazer build. I am very pleased with everything so far. Now, If i can find a paint/body guy that i like we'll be good to go.

[atp]

I found my paint guy!! I went to see a guy today who was recommended by someone on the forum and looks like he will be doing the paint/body work on the Blazer. He was in the middle of a frame off on a 69 SWB, man did it look good. He had just finished a 68 SWB and had 4 more 67-72 trucks in the yard. He obviously knows these trucks. I didn't take my camera but i will next time!!

[meathead95]

what was his name? there was a guy on here a few years ago from your area and his name was tony i believe. it turned out to be a disaster. pm xxl hell tell you the whole story.

[jkade]

If you are wanting the body and paint work top notch call
Neil Lea @ rods & restos his # is 256-927-2199. He has a car that is competing for the Riddler this year. I say this because it looks like you are doing a real high quality build and he is one of the best in the nation hands down.

[atp]

Some progress. I need to determine the placement of the tranny crossmember, but at least it is on the frame!

[atp]

Here is pic of the seats I will use and brakes on the right way!

[PBFAB.COM]

Everything's looking great! What headers are you running, and how are clearances? They look like they fit quite nice.

[atp]

They are Hooker Headers for 2000 F-Body (per your suggestion). I didn't have to cut the frame. I am eager to see how the steering shaft you sent me works?? These headers have all the smog crab on them. Do you think there anything i can do? Or will I have to find another set?

[atp]

Here is a better picture.

[Rokcrln]

That is looking great! I so need to start on my 70 2WD... some day

I have a set on the shelf... that aren't coated. They too have all the "extra tubes" for the emissions. I was going to remove the tubes I don't need and then have them coated. Is there a way you can do the same? Possibly return the coated set and exchange them for a set that are not coated, then mod them and send them out for coating? The other options are: to leave them alone; or mod your pretty ones and send them out to be re-coated.

I will be putting together our shop truck this month (same set-up you're running), and if necessary, I will just put together a support bearing bracket that bolts-on for the steering shaft, and will send you one... if you'd like.

"..., and will send you one... if you'd like.[/QUOTE]

I would like that very much.

By the way, is there a set placement (up and down) for your tranny crossmember. I wasn't sure if i used any of the factory holes as a guide.

[PBFAB.COM]

It's not intended to use any of the factory holes... you might get lucky!

When installing, just make sure it's square... mark the holes, drill them out, and bolt it up.

[atp]

I made a little progress so i thought i would post some pics. Please excuse the dust. I ran the fuel lines and yes they look very similar to 68SS's. That is because I liked his! I mounted 2 - 3 gallon tanks for the Level pro system and started running the air lines. I also started the brake lines. My battery died before I finished pics...so here is what I got.

[abadsvt]

This is looking awesome! Way bad @ss.

I made a little progress today. Here are some pics. I would love to get some feedback on the location of the compressor. This is my install in these frames.

[atp]

Here it is dumped!

[PipsC10]

Love the way you mounted the compressor, everything looks awesome.

[Frizzle Fry]

Wow, looking real nice!
