Winter again....and going home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BabyBlue · 12-08-2007, 10:16 PM

Just thought I'd share some pictures and say that I'm finally going back home for about a month before I get shipped out to the Land of the Rising Sun. I'm shipping the Blazer back home mainly because I have some sort of electrical draw somewhere and I can seem to find it...go figure huh, and I'll be driving around my stepside for the first time in a year. Fun times ahead, can't wait to detail my blazer back home (everytime I try here in NY, the compound or water freezes...not so good)

The Blazer looks sweet!

cochino12 · 12-08-2007, 10:47 PM

Nice blazer, looks like lower than a 3/4 drop? What wheel tire size combo are you running?

**Boog** · 12-10-2007, 02:39 PM

You're right. The weather up there is dreadful. Send that smooth ride down south. I'll take care of it...

Looks sweet!! I love how the big block looks. That is the first time I have seen it with the new motor..

Good luck on the move back, hope things go better this time..

What brand cowl hood is that and where did you get it ? Looks like it fits nice.

Thanks. It looks lower because I didn't change out the springs when I put the 454 in it, the nose dropped a good 1.5". The wheel and tire size are 15x8and 15x10 TTII's with 255/60's in the front and 275/60's in the rear. Although I'm swapping my tires from the stepside over to the blazer and putting my newer TTII's on it and selling these older ones.

Thanks tvblazer, much appreciated especially comeing from you. The engine compartment is coming back apart when I get it back home so I can repaint everything in there and so I can fabricate a fan shroud and something to hold the overflow tank.

shhhhhhhhh, it's a secret.....actually, it was my dad's idea and I don't really expect anything out of it, I seem to of lost my attraction to other cars so it would take a really good deal to wow me outta my babies.
