That's weird, I swear the previous 7 posts weren't there when I posted, maybe I am going crazy???

Click "go advanced" then click "manage attachments" under the "additional Options" section. More info is located in the FAQ, I think.

The rims are 20x8 all the way around I just put a bigger tire in the rear..I am not sure on the backspacing, I narrowed the rear end.

i have one that was left under a carport for 20 years in orange county california. i have never seen an unrestored blazer with less rust. mine is a 1970 complete with the 6 lug drums in the front. im repairing her slowly, eventually it will be a complete frame off restoration. im installing a new 700r4 transmission i just built this weekend to save my 385 sbc that im running now. heres some pics

Save every OE part you remove, a complete 70 is the rarest of 2wd's

thats always been my plan. mine was a 250 cu inch l6/3 on the tree. i cant seem to locate that combo near los angeles to reinstall it. I know near every truck that was a three speed/ straight 6 has been converted to a small block/ auto trans. Everyone i knew in high school had an old l6 in the back of the garage. when i do find them i already have all the parts i need to make the engine compartment look like it did at the dealership in 1970. im looking forward to popping the hood at the pomona swap meet with my truck set up like that, i've never seen one.
i will store my original front parts, i just got her going with front 6 lug disc brakes, and a 700r4 i just got the bugs out of last night. my daily driver is back

Welcome Blazer (creative btw) Post a "I'm new here post" so everyone will welcome you to the board.

chevy72402 · 12-09-2005, 12:55 AM

well I am about to acquire my dad's 72 blazer 2wd tilt, tach, a/c. we'll see. it has been in a body shop for the last 7 years because my dad paid up front and the guy screwed him over. now he doesn't want to spend the money on it.

krue · 12-09-2005, 01:18 AM

Post some pics of it when you get a chance. Sounds like the dream truck for the 2wd guys.

What are your plans for it?

chevy72402 · 12-09-2005, 08:32 AM

it's in primer now with no windshield and all the trim off of it... sitting in a barn.

bagged74 · 12-13-2005, 11:15 PM

I was just curious why you did the 6 lug conversion? did you use a late model rearend with disc brakes or something?

kyle4381 · 12-14-2005, 09:27 PM

Yeahhttp://www.porterbuiltstreetrods.com narrowed the rearend out of a 2001 Chevrolet truck so it has the disc brakes and 3:73 posi..I think there are more rim choices with 6 lug since all the new gm trucks are 6 lug....
