Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST

I made 2 more upgrades to the Blazer over the last week. First, I took the dual Rancho steering stabilizers off. I never liked that look plus when the were cold, they were too stiff. I installed a factory replacement from Napa after finding the factory mount here on the boards. It actually drove better. I also swapped the 3.73 out for a 3.07. I had to swap the posi carrier too since the 3.73 was a 4 series. Man! What a difference. I wish I did it before the road trip. It's like night and day. It sure would have been nice on the interstate. No pics... I'll see what I can do to take some.
