Re: Where do you want to end up?

Hey welcome to the board. That is a great looking rig. Keep the pictures coming. One of the spid label on the glove box would be interesting to see what you got.

1) That welding is definitely not factory. Hard to tell what happened there from that angle. Should just be the frame rail with a reinforcement riveted and a few small welds on the inboard side of the rail.

2) Shop looks awesome. Mind me asking what your dimensions are. I'm wanting to get started on one this fall.

BTW. You can certainly do a lot of work on the Blazer without pulling the tub off the frame but you might want to consider replacing the body mounts and reusing the factory shims to keep the same gaps as much as possible to factory. Are the rocker boxes on the underside in good shape?

As far as the diffs that depends on a lot. Is it posi or open is it leaking anywhere. Do you use the 4wd at all or does front always free wheel, etc, etc.

Cheers.
