It's a 2WD now...

Here are a few pics of my progress this weekend. I actually got more done than I thought I would. I really like the way it looks. I will be selling the 4WD stuff soon. On to the pics....

How much drop is on your new frame? Looks great! Did you use Drop spindles and drop springs up front? Looks pretty low in rear, Did you use adjustable pan bar and shock lowering brackets? B.B.

71swb4x4, Thanks, I have to do a little rust repair on the firewall as well as some smoothing before I put the.....yep, TPI 350 in. I bought a TPI unit for it. It never ends.

FRENCHBLUE72, Thanks!

bigbluthng, yea, I bought the 2WD chassis from board member Chris_H. The conversion wasn't bad.

hotrodhomi, yes it is an original 2WD frame.

Big Block, just 4/6 drop springs that I purchased from board member 70_402. I will be using a Watts Link in the rear to keep the housing centered.

Later all! Mark

Nice. I wish I had the skills (and time, money, etc...) to do that to my '69 Blazer.

Come down here and buy my '69! I was going to clean it up and install some spare parts I have collected and sell it for between $6,500 - &7,000. But I've decided I'd sell it for around $5,200 as is.

Looking good! I saw a sick red one right outside the base here the other day. Think its a conversion too. He wanted to trade me grilles! His had a tubular grille in it.

Bouncy, you don't seriously want to do that to yours do you?

Jeff.
