Re: 72 blazer ls swap

Last Wednesday I drove the blazer over to my buddies house and took the the body off the fame. After a week of scraping all the undercoating and grease off the bottom of the truck and to my surprise no rust in the floor boards, just the rocker boxes. I painted the bottom with por 15 for protection.. After stripping the firewall I learned how to paint with single stage paint. I think it turned out pretty nice. Put the body on the new frame today but stI'll needs to be bolted down. As Smitty and Keegan said I did have to space the gas tank down. I found a piece of 1" square stock aluminum and installed it as a spacer. I tried to picture it before I set the body fully down. Sits a little high but I think it will look good with the top off. I may need new taller garage doors now.
