I just went and checked out your corvette build, looking great! Don't forget you have a truck that is feeling neglected :D

Re: 55 TF Stretched Cab/Fleetside/LSx/Trailblazer Frame
Thanks for checking in. My truck is resting in my Brother-in-Law's barn, and I haven't had time to work on the corvette since just before last Christmas. Work continues to be a major time draw- but I am being paid. I have addressed a few thing on the GTO this year (Corvette front spindles and brakes, Aluminum driveshaft and some interior upgrades), but other than that my projects are on hold until the new year - when I'm retired!!!
I begin a two week road trip in the GTO tomorrow morning (approximately 5500 miles). My wife and I are headed to the South Dakota Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Glacier. I am so looking forward to retirement and hopefully jump starting one of these projects in the new year. Ricky |

Do you have any details on the spindle/brake swap on the GTO? I really like your approach to your projects, and it gives me good ideas for mine. Thanks!

BlueJeep:
When I get back to Memphis I will post pictures of the spindle swap. I used CPP spindles (couldn't make myself pay for the aluminum AFX spindles. The rest was off the shelf (and out of the Junkyard) GM parts (using c5 parts). I am in Sioux Falls tonight waiting on my wife to fly in and we start the trip in earnest tomorrow. I put 1280 miles on the GTO yesterday and today (took the really long way to SF - through Minnesota and the southern part of North Dakota. The car is running flawlessly and the 80 MPH speed limit in SD made those miles go faster! Ricky |

Hey Ricky, I miss seeing posts on this build. Hopefully, you are enjoying retirement now and making progress on the Vette so you can get back to this build. I've been waiting patiently to see how you will deal with the stretch on the roof and doors. I've been considering doing a similar build myself.

Re: 55 TF Stretched Cab/Fleetside/LSx/Trailblazer Frame
Congrats on retirement.
I said I'd quit my job if I ever won the lottery. Won $35 on a scratch ticket but the wife stopped me as I was writing my resignation letter. |
Re: 55 TF Stretched Cab/Fleetside/LSx/Trailblazer Frame
I found your build thread by accident looking up other stuff. I was looking to transfer a trailblazer firewall onto a jeep so i could use the trailblazer goodies on the jeep. Your thread put it into my head that I could use the firewall and floor pan for my swap. So, thanks to you, i bought a 1968 jeep Wagoneer and a 2006 Chevy trailblazer ss. My plan is to swap the jeep body onto the trailblazer ss chassis using the trailblazer firewall and floor pans. This build thread has been amazing and inspiring. I'm sorry i didn't subscribe sooner.
