4x4 next to 2x4 so we can figure out where to shorten and move body mounts to

Tubs look great. Nice to see the finished product in your truck.

**67cheby** · 07-28-2011, 10:19 AM

Babyblue....you know me to well !! LOL , yep he is right !!

**67cheby** · 07-28-2011, 10:20 AM

WOW...nice update!!

watahyahknow · 07-28-2011, 11:25 AM

i wonder if it would be simpler to just look wish bodymounts are the same between the 4x4 and the 2 wheeldrive , take off al the other mounts screw those where they belong on the tub , mount the tub on the 2 wheel chassis using the ones in the right position to center the tub crawl underneat and drill/centerpunch/draw the new holes for the mountingpoints that wherent at the right place should be more foolproof than try to measure the distances

babyblueoval · 07-28-2011, 11:56 AM

If the Blazer tub weighed, oh, about 300+lbs less or if it was on a lift, that is exactly what we would do. But my friend has been doing this stuff for years and is very confident that it's gonna be easy. When it comes time to actually start cutting, we'll measure everything about 30 times and make sure there is no way it could be wrong and go from there.
The the fun stuff begins - Porterbuilt C4 Dropmember, LS1/4L80e - fun fun fun.

The only real difference I found was that the rear cab mount bracket was 1" lower on the frame with the 4x4 & C20/C30 parts vs the C10 parts. Otherwise they were identical.

The front measured about 0.1" lower on the 4x4 parts too but that could just be production variances between the 67 & 69 parts I was working with. They both shared the same six mounting point holes though so I swapped them out just to be sure.

The Blazer mounts may be a totally different animal though. I haven't compared them side by side with the truck pieces and it has been ten years since I owned a 67-72 Blazer so it isn't fresh in my mind either.

watahyahknow · 07-28-2011, 03:42 PM

oh thats verry eazy to fix find two 1 inch high hockeypucks dril a hole in the middle and mount those with the rubbers on that spot and hey presto fixed
good to know that its so simple to put the tub on a different chassis

Sorry to hear you are having mfg delays. I run into them all the time and it sucks.

**67cheby** · 08-12-2011, 11:17 AM

the deal is the company built a 3 piece mold to produce these fenders with well the time it takes to make them with a 3 piece setup is to long so they want to build another set of molds differently to speed up there production time !! all of this slows me down and i need to be selling these trying to RE-COUP some MONEY !!!

Tell them they need to be producing products with the molds they have that you paid for. They can use the old molds while they are making the new molds to speed things up on their production process.

You shouldn't have to pay them any more money for their choice to change to mold configuration either.

**67cheby** · 08-12-2011, 11:34 AM

yes you are correct... i wont pay them extra for that !!

**67cheby** · 08-13-2011, 09:26 AM
