Nice looking build! Gotta love a LS motor as well. I have future plans of doing that to mine.

Re: MY Blazer build
 

"there is nothing a man with some metal and a Mig can"t fix" Nice job. I have a 72 and going the old school Horse power way with a 402 (freebie) but if I was doing it from scratchIi would go with the LS. Keep us updated with pictures. Quick question is that a sand car in the back ground??

Re: MY Blazer build
 

yes there is a sand car in the background the guys that are doing the work ( fabrication Unlimited) build and fix off road race trucks and sand cars

Nice work. I really like how you handled the rocker boxes! Mine have just one softball size hole I cut with a torch to bolt in my cage. Yours is much cleaner more sophisticated :waah:

Re: MY Blazer build
 

Fantastic project with some really nice parts!!!

Re: MY Blazer build
 

Awesome build, Looking at mine right now and I feel like that war movie title
"A Bridge To far" But I will get it done

Re: MY Blazer build
 

Holy inspiration Batman, you are building my Blazer!!!

Questions – Did Fabrication Unlimited build the motor mounts/cross member? Are those off the shelf headers? Deaver springs? What inch lift are they? How long are the shocks? Do you have any pictures of the suspension finished with shocks installed?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide and for the much needed motivation. Can’t wait to see more!

Re: MY Blazer build
 

everything looks great!

Re: MY Blazer build
 

when i get it done im just going to drive it. i dont think im going to wheel it like i used to but i will still use it.

Re: MY Blazer build
 

fab unlimited did build the motor mounts/cross member the headers are jba's for a newer chevy truck they had to be cut and worked on a little bit on the passenger side the springs are national springs the fronts are 4 inches longer than stock they moved the rear hanger back to make the work as for lift i want to say about 4 inches. the guys at national spring are way cool and very helpful the shocks are a 12'' inch stroke the picture is the best one i have so far the front shock hoop is not done yet but i will post pictures as soon as they are
