New shoes on the Blaze! Finally!

[badchev69]

Finnaly got new wheels and tires for my 72. I will be doing a rear shackle flip and trying to track down a rear 6" spring for the front to be able to clear the tires better.

They are 38/15.5/16 Mickey Thompson MTZ's on 16x10 Helo Maxx 6 rims.

Let me know what you think of them!

Wow - I really like that Blazer

Nice shoes

[jaros44sr]

Nice shoes, Nice truck!!! More pics from farther away pls. Whats that line hanging down under your truck. Looks like another favorite of mine, your sumthin like 20. You guys keep making awesome looking trucks! Jim

[badchev69]

Thanks guys, The line hanging down is the tranny vacume line, The motor isnt in it at the moment so the headers are hanging awkward too. Im trying to get the engine together again so i can drive it now!

I took some lighter pictures and moved some cars in the driveway so i could get some better shots, Ill upload them here in a minute.

Nice! i have those same tires/size on my 96' yukon, put about 1500miles on them so far and love em'!

Thats a very sick blazer as well, good work!

-Cameron

thats weird, yours say there goofy size, mine actually say "38/15.5/R15*

[Big Block]

I like it!!! Very clean Blazer!!!!

[badchev69]

Mine have both sizes on them. M/T only does metric sizes for the 16" rims... i dunno why. But in the 15's like yours they are standard.. go figure

[badchev69]

Classicstyle, if you have a pic of your yukon id like to see!

[Blizz]

badchev....BEAUTIFUL blazer. great job! mind if i ask where you got the cage? that's exactly what i'm looking for. do you have any problems with the hard top and/or soft top clearing it? i love the paint too...i've been thinking about a two tone for mine as well.

[bouncytruck]

Looks great. I like the cage & chrone tailgate letters.

[ClassicStyle]

of course, 96 2-door, 9inch lift in the back 10inch up front. bushwacker cut-out flares, and the 38's, mounted on 15x12's

65,000 miles, i dig it

another for good measure You must have a weird backspace, because mine stic out more.

[IGOR]

Very nice - where in Oregon are you? Looks like your neighbor has a nice Suburban too!

[makovai]

let me know he these wear. I really need somefeedback and suggestions.
I sold my swampers so i need new shoes too. I'm really thinking hard about the toyo 38x14.5x17 but i really cant afford new wheels and they dont come in 15" only the 37x14.5 do. So the M/T are my second choice but they are over $300 a tire where the toyo's are $265 a tire.

[badchev69]

ClassicStyle- Love the yukon! Ive always liked the GT's Those are a great choice for tires.

Igor- Im here in Corvallis OR, and the neighbors suburban is actually my roomate/co-worker jeremy who lives in my house haha. And it needs some work, we are in the middle of puttin it together.

makovai- Ill let you know on the mileage as i am very curious myself, they seem like a very riged/solid tire so i expect good things. Ya they are expensive but i like them because noone else around here has them on there rig let alone a first gen k5.... between wheels and tires i spent $510 per corner...

[badchev69]

Blizz- the cage luckily was done before i got my hands on it. As far as i know it was done at a shop in Eugene OR, If i can find the previous owners # i will ask him. I got it from him painted and with the roll bar rollin on 33's I did the interior and wheels, tires, painted the cage, engine work (twice now) and tinted the top to match the factory windows up front.
I have a single wall top in *ok* shape (hence it being off as much as possible) and i can just barely fit my pinkie between the main bar and the top. It fits nice and snug, no rubbing.

[ClassicStyle]

i paid just about 510 a corner as well. Did you get the road hazzard warrenty? i got lifetime road hazzards on the tire, if i get a opp's thats to big to plug or is on the sidewall, i get a brand new tire

Looks Great!!

[badchev69]

Damn no i didnt get a warranty that i know of, i bought them at a local tire shop where ive got some friends. beggs tire. I should ask them huh?

[badchev69]

does anyone know a good supplier for front lift springs for the 1st gens? i need a minimum of 8 but prefer 10'', everything i have found is for kits only, thanks guys.

[makovai]

I bought a pair of superlift fronts, 6" for $300 with bushings, and the 8" were the same price. You can also get skyjackers without a kit. I bought 6" for the rear, but they are ez'er to get becuase they are the same all the way from 1967-1988 but the fronts are getting harder to find.
