Frame specs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dentmaster · 05-29-2007, 09:27 PM

I am building my 1969 CST big block blazer. I have purchased another frame to powder coat, and basiclly do a ground up restoration. I noticed the frame that I bought has a real slight tweak in it. My question is this...Does anyone have the dimentions, or will the 4x4 truck frame be the same in measuring properly. I have been checking out this sight for months now , and love it. You guys ,already, have helped me tremendously. Thank you for your time and imput on this minor problem.

WOW and I hope this isnt "highjacking" but thanks for that link That site has answered about 10 questions that have been bothering me all day.

how did you find a frame? and how much was it or what can someone expect to pay for one??

Thank you so much for the specs...They will work perfectly. As far as finding the frame, there is a local guy here in Arkansas, that sells lots of parts for the trucks and blazers....he is a very nice guy, and very honest. I payed $250 for a complete frame, with all crossmembers....anyways thanks for the info

Hey I had was wondering did you have to have 6in. of lift for the 36's ? what kind of lift did you use, and do you recommend it? I ordered a 4in. flip for the back from...sky manufactur....and was gonna buy springs for the front ( from somewhere)...and run 35's with no blocks...any help would be appreciated

My Blazer had the lift on it when I bought it. It is an old Trail Master with a 6 inch front springs and 4 inch block and Add-a-Leaf's in the back. It is not my ideal set up, but that is what came in it. As far as do you need 6 inches to fit 35's, I think you can fit them with a 4 inch. There just is not as much room in the fender wells. Plus, if you plan to off road it hard, I would go with the bigger lift. I myself am actually going to be putting a smaller lift in and going with 33's. The wife wants it to be more family friendly and it is not getting off road. I hope this helps.
