OlChev67 · 07-11-2007, 09:34 PM

tow hooks and fender badges and the clearance lights, sweet. did you do all that lately

*trkklr77* · 07-11-2007, 09:42 PM

make it simple for me, what hasN'T been modified?

dually d60 front
19.5" or 22.5" rims
is that a blazer tub or a lengthend cab?
cool step side daully fenders......................

BLAZERMAN · 07-11-2007, 09:44 PM

Lift is a 4" Skyjacker, rear upper spring hangers were replaced with much larger bushings along with ORD greasable shackles. Lift comes out tp be a little over 5 inchs. I rebuilt a Dana 60 and did a high steer crossover on it along with Earls brake lines.
Rear has new Eaton 7 leaf springs and new GM shackles, I also converted to 13 inch drums using all new take off backing plates, drums, hardware and shoes. Converted it to a u bolts up drsign using new GM spring plates for a 73 up truck and went with 5/8 " u bolts instead of the factory 1/2" units.
Covered up the previous owners painted on bowties with factory badges and slapped on some cab lights..oh yes, cant forget the 72 style hooks to make it complete.

Brad · 07-12-2007, 12:34 AM

I agree that those wheels and lift make a big difference. At first glance I didn't like it and thought it looked funky, but with those wheels and lift, it really looks much better!

*Shane* · 07-12-2007, 12:35 AM

I normally don't comment on 4WD trucks, but I have to say that is a BEAUTY!!!

Totally changed the looks of it with the wheels and lift.

Good Work my man, Good Work!

I agree it has a certain funkiness to it, mainly from the sliding camper window they used, hopefully I can find something to replace it that sits more flush..thats the next project.
