rear upper coil spring perches/mounts

[WarMonger]

I'm converting my blazer from leafs to coils. I cant find the upper coil spring perches anywhere. Sooooooo if any of you nice members can maybe climb under the truck or pull the cover off your projects and snap a couple photos, hit them with a tape measure and send me some specs, I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks

Is yours a 2wd conversion? frame is different from 4x4...check out post #5 on my build. Shows frame differences side by side ....fabed coil spring perches out of 3/8 steel (1 ) 3" x 3" angle sitting on 5" x 5" plate bolted to the frame bottom and side.

Great build you have. Lots of good info. I was wondering when you put in your crossmember for the trailing arms, you have a measurement of 70-7/16 from rad support. Is it the rad support holes? From the core support?

Couple of things to consider....Find a pair of 2wd radiator support brackets, cleans up that extra mount used for the 4x4 springs. Measurement was from the center of the radiator core support hole. That's if you use 2wd trailing arm cross member. Also, you may want to consider extending wheel base to 105", centers the wheels better in the opening if your going to lower it. moving the front forward an 1" will help....Look at this thread.....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=541514

So i have a 73 front crossmember. I was thinking, bolt that in solid, then measure to get my 105" wheel base.
