ya its a stock floor. we used 2x5 1/4 wall tube in the original frame to tie into the boxed Z section. cut some of the top of the frame to get it to fit in, and shaved the bottom of the frame off. the body mounts are still in the stock location.

lownfast · 09-09-2007, 07:57 PM

we boxed the frame from the 2x5 tube up to the notch

lownfast · 09-09-2007, 08:02 PM

had to notch around the body

made a simple trans crossmemember

lownfast · 09-09-2007, 08:20 PM

here you can see the frame cut off level with the 2x5 tube and the pinch weld, after it was off the lift we added 1/2 plate for my dragging pleasure

under the blazer

the Z welded to the 2x5 tube

I gotta tell ya man, every picture I see of your fab work leaves me in more amazement..... and a little jealousy ( one- I wish I had the talent you have; two- I wish I had a Blazer or Sub to work on currently)

You do very nice work.

Mello Mel · 09-09-2007, 10:14 PM

tvblazer78 · 01-11-2008, 03:53 PM

That thing is low as hell!! Love it man.. The new gas tank is very cool, what kind of tank is that?

lownfast · 01-11-2008, 06:11 PM

thanks its been along time coming i love every second of driving this thing. the tank is a 20 gallon rci. the stock tank wouldnt go up between the frame. didnt want to spend the money but im glad i did, it looks killer.

Kaysenmc · 01-12-2008, 12:28 AM

wow, all I can say is wow. I would really like to see this rig in person. Hell Ill drive my lifted one down and take a cool pic of both of them, okay?

**N2TRUX** · 01-12-2008, 05:23 AM

Awesome progress. Did you mention tire sizes? I didn't see that anywhere.

Would it be possible to go back and fix your pics? If you upload them rather than link to your photobucket account they won't go away again.

Is that what you have on it in "all" of the pics? It looks like a taller front tire here. Actually this looks like 20's.
