Re: 72 2wd blazer build

Your ride is very sweet! I was thinking about the same brake set up but I might try and get 13" front and 14 or 15" out back to keep the same ratio to the rims.

You're only about 3 hours away. I hope to be busy working on my truck, but maybe if I'm not I'll come help you with yours.

.....and then you can return the favor some day.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

That dash will definitely add some style to the truck (not that it needs any more!).

I have plans for a Tri-Five truck "cyclopse" style dash in the 69 I am putting together.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

lol...sorry, i actually got the from mark @ suprastore.com. It takes a while to get them because they are built per order as the spindles have to be machined.
