How can you take your blazer all apart, and still have such a clean garage?

imdarren · 04-22-2004, 11:00 PM

You are funny.

Or should I say you are just like me!

You take an old dirty rig that looks like he!! and put it in the garage.
That's exactly what I did with my 67.
My wife gives me crap all the time! She says "why bother putting this in the garage!" I say, "It's old. It'd paid it's dues. And it deserves to stay indoors!". Sort of like an old hunting dog that is retired.

Looks like a great project! Glad to see you have rescued it!

Look's like you got some work ahead of ya nice job on gettin the ball rolling..

beamers69 · 04-23-2004, 05:52 AM

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. I bet its gonna
turn out nice. Keep us posted. Makes me want to start looking
for one but I got more on my plate than I can handle right now.

Terry Peerson · 04-23-2004, 10:20 AM

You must have really long legs to be able to take that step up into the house! It's a doozey (sp). Looks like a great project! Have fun with it.

Spent most of last night tring to get my center U-J back together so did not get time to check this last night. Left the other two as is, and just put the drive shaft back in with one new U-j and a new hanger berring.
Looks like you have a good start, and I could see the top of one of the new I-fenders in the back of the blazer. How did the frame look once you got the front clip off?

Pic 4 looks like your leaning a little. Could be from all of the parts in the back. if not may want to check the body mounts on the drivers side before your start bolting any thing new on.

Nice start to your blazer build up, as far the 20,000 is concerned as least you are realistic to about how much its going to cost to have a nice rig.Keep the pictures coming,we all need need motivation every now and again..

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-23-2004, 05:18 PM

SHAN, I THINK I'M PULLING IT THE REST OF THE WAY APART, I
HAD A POST EARLIER THIS MONTH ON THE BLAZER BOARD TO
SEE IF SOMEONE HAD MEASURMENTS FOR DOOR BRACES AND
A TAILGATE BRACE, WAS GONNA HAV THE GUYS IN THE SHOP
MAKE ME SOME BOLT IN BRACES BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE ANY
GOOD MEASURMENTS TO GO BY, SCARED TO USE MINE DUE 2
THE ROCKER BOXES BEING TRASHED, IT WOULD FOLD IN IF I
DIDN'T USE BRACES WHEN I YANK THE BODY OFF THE FRAME.

meathead95 · 04-23-2004, 07:03 PM

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-23-2004, 07:15 PM

meathead95 · 04-23-2004, 07:18 PM

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-24-2004, 09:32 AM

EVEN THOUGH I PLAN TO KEEP MINE TOPLESS, I MIGHT LOOK
FOR A SINGLE WALL SOMEDAY MYSELF, JUST A BIT LIGHTER.

A few 72's · 04-25-2004, 07:38 AM

If you have not sold your trucks you should be able to measure them for the door opening. As far as I know you can take a truck door and make a blazer door, so they should have the same opening. I'll try to see what mine is today or the first of the week and let you know, but it still has the org mounts that may have settled some.
