Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Alrighty folks, more peekshures as requested.
The bed was FULL of Porterbuilt and Accuair!! Actually made the old Dodge sqwat a little. First shot of the new and improved DM, well the newest one PB makes at least. I have no idea how to get this through the frame to bolt to the bottom of the frame...... Center PB Extreme crossmember with tons of adjustment and incredible welds. The shipping took it's toll on the center, a corner was bent, not bad but still bent. Thanks FedUp. And the little bitty c-notch!! For you Blazer guys the bumpstop rear rivet hole is where the back of the notch should line up so the body mount in the front will need to go bye-bye!!!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
While I was still drooling on my new parts the frame was begging to be torn apart so I could get these Porterbuilt parts fitted. The frame was not cooperative to say the least. I have a whole new respect for you Blazer guys. The gas tank had to be pulled, rivets had to be man-handled, and plugs had to be cut to fill in some holes so I can clean the frame up. What I didn't show is a clean frame with a little primer on it. Hopefully this is enough peekshures to keep everyone happy for a few days!!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Almost forgot. I would like to thank Nate at Porterbuilt for getting back to me really quick on a couple of questions. Quality parts and quality customer support.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
WooHoooo!!! Another weekend to spend with my new project. It's always nice having new parts to put on. Got the rear notches in, the front cross member installed and all the holes drilled for the trailing arm cross member. Sounds like a little to accomplish in a weekend but trust me, it is a lot!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
This Porterbuilt stuff is awesome. Holes line up, threads are clean, welds look great, fitment is spot on.........I can't say enough about this product. You absolutely get what you pay for.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Trailing arms on an extreme drop? Delmo tried this and decided to go with a 4-link on Mason Wrights "Larry", has PBFab made any changes since then?

I thought they had straight rear frame rails as opposed to the factory 2wd blazer's coil spring rear frame rails, that kick out like the coil spring trucks.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
After talking with Nate via e-mail he mentioned nothing about a different setup for the Blazer, and as of now it looks like everything will work. I guess everyone will have to "stay tuned" in for next weeks updates to see the outcome of the "The Trailing Arm Saga".
If you are looking for a easy way to get your PBFab parts, and in a package deal, look no further than Travis at Pro Performance. He has been instrumental in getting me what I need and in a descent time frame according to other distributers from what I hear.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Not much got accomplished this weekend, a wedding and mothers day kinda ate the whole weekend up. Although I did get the LCAs and UCAs on! I got heim-joints with everything I ordered but there was a problem with the left hand threads not working with the right hand threads on trailing arms. The ID on the heims were kinda not right either. The bigger ID heims should be right hand thread for the trailing arms and smaller ID heims should be for the tie rods. Well that's not confusing at all!!!

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Got off the phone with Travis at Pro Performance, seems I was missing a couple of things. My Porterbuilt panhard bar was left out of my order and my lower shock mount crossmember for the rear was left out plus 2 other heim joints. Looks like I will be waiting again........
