boones blazer build
 

Well after my deal on kurts blazer falling through ( bought it but couldnt get it shipped out to Ca) I bought another blazer from an older couple out of sac. Not near as clean as kurts but it was a cst with updated air, newer gm H/T 383, rebuilt turbo 350 and so on... It did have all the common rust problems that these have both rockers were shot, quarter panels, A pillar on drivers side was gone and the b pillars and rocker box area behind the quarters.


So heres the plan

deaver springs front and rear
king shocks front and rear
Prp suspension seat
method race wheels on pro comp a/t tires
tach dash from livrat thks!
repaint everthing possible without pulling the tub...


So here are a few pics

Re: boones blazer build

Re: boones blazer build

Re: boones blazer build
 

not the best picture but..... Got all the rust cut out and repairs done just have to finish rockers and welding in the quater patches. Got the deavers installed and had to mount up the wheels and tires to get a visual.

Re: boones blazer build
 

Can you give some insight on what Deavers and shock mounts you are going to run?

Re: boones blazer build
 

They are just stock length deavers in front and 4 inch lift springs. The king are 10 inch stroke and the fronts im going to fab up an upper mount and the rears may work in the factory mount.... we will see

Re: boones blazer build

Re: boones blazer build

Thanks guys im going to try and get some painted and finished up bye the end of the year.... The wheels are 17x8.5 method racing double standards in all black on 35x12.5x17pro comp xtreme all terrian. The wheels are real resonable in price like 190 each.

Re: boones blazer build
