Also, if you see anything that is going to be trouble for me in the future.

mokie · 08-26-2004, 11:01 AM

I know that one trouble I will have is needing the body on the frame. Also, just to let you all know this was the biggest headache for my wife and I don't do this. SAVE THE MONEY.

mokie · 08-26-2004, 11:03 AM

And more.

mokie · 08-26-2004, 11:04 AM

+ I LOVE GOODYEAR MT/R's
+ FORKLIFT
+ WIFE GETTING INVOLVED

Everything looks great from where I am standing! (as I ponder how I can get a fork when I take my body off...)

Big J · 08-26-2004, 01:46 PM

Lookin' good! I plan on going with some 35 12.50 mtr's on some weld racing wheels. Is the frame in primer or paint or? What color is that? Keep the progress pics comin'.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-26-2004, 03:41 PM

Uh, maybe it is just my opinion, sorry, but it looks like you trashed the tub
where the front firewall and windsheild frame is, it looks like when you took
the body off the rockerboxes collapsed and layed the windsheild frame back.

slogo · 08-26-2004, 05:27 PM

Oh My!!!!!!!!!!!! What Luv2cclr8 Said

redz 1970 K5 · 08-26-2004, 05:34 PM

Wholly molly, I didn't even notice that... Good eyes.

Maybe its not as bad as it looks in the pics. You can definitely tell the difference between pre/post frame off.

Note to self- may decide against forklift after all...

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-26-2004, 05:35 PM

It Might Have Been Better To Leave The Doors On When Doing That.

mokie · 08-26-2004, 06:38 PM

No don't worry, I did trash that body. Well, I'm picking it apart to use for my new one. Yah, definitly go w/a cherry picker and two to three friends.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-26-2004, 06:42 PM

Back Half ( From Front Of Bed To Tail ) Looks Pretty Good

mokie · 08-26-2004, 06:52 PM

Unfortunatly this is my wife's rig but she wanted something tall. It has a 383, w/37" tires and a 3" body lift, comp shocks, 205 tc, and a custom tank (that I was told is to dangerous and should take off the truck). I didn't put any of this on just trying to make it safe for the wife. The rig came w/2 sets fenders, new set of rockers, 2 sets of doors, 2 hoods, qtr pan and the brand new tires and rims, all of this came to $2200.00. I purchased another body after trying to get a couple of body shops to fix the one I had but they said it would cost me $5 to $10 g's. The other body was $500.00. I don't know anything about cars or trucks and this one was running before I started taking it apart. Hopefully it will still run when I'm done. Plan of completion to running stage again 9/3/04. When it is to the wife approval, when we I start getting paid more $$$$. The truck in one of the back ground is mine but I think when this one is done I will have the blazer and she will have the Ford. That's okay I will more respect by driving the Blazer.

mokie · 08-26-2004, 06:54 PM

some more pics

mokie · 08-26-2004, 06:55 PM

That one is the new body that is going on the frame

teamharvey · 08-26-2004, 07:07 PM

Makes me " cringe " seeing the windsheild frame pulled back that way.......good luck with the projects !

CHEVYE · 08-26-2004, 08:17 PM

oh goodness....... i feel like crying. i wish blazer tubs grew on trees here.

**Canadian694x4** · 08-26-2004, 08:36 PM

that was looking a little scary when you took the old body off....great progress tho!!

donkey69 · 08-27-2004, 01:36 AM

Ouch!!! ......i'm Going To Have Nightmares Tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

2wdBlazer · 08-27-2004, 08:40 AM

Are you SURE it only has a 3 inch body? I just don't see that working. I have 9 inches and 38's barely fit. Maybe your springs are different.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-27-2004, 10:03 AM

Quite a project. Gonna cut down the truck doors I assume?

mokie · 08-27-2004, 10:28 AM

2wdBlazer, very good question I didn't think of that. I will take a picture of the leaf springs and measure for ya. Yukon Jack, yes but I have other doors and the door handles are not shaved. As for everyone else, that is why I put the doors on for the new body lesson learned.

2wdBlazer · 08-27-2004, 11:25 AM

I'm willing to bet those are 4-6 inch springs.
