The bedside I purchased also patched my quarter panel and just under the taillight.

A little something from the company I purchased my rims from. Thanks to Travis at Pro Performance for helping me with backspacing and getting some little custom touches done to my rims.

Travis is a Great guy. He has guided me in the right direction with my 72 Blazer Build.

Looking good. Happy New Year!

More rust repair than I had anticipated but it will be absolutely worth it.

If I post all of the rust repair on this build the thread would be massive. o_0

I opted to do the 90 degree brake pedal with the 03 Astro van Hydroboost.

I wanted to clean up the front a little so deleting the bowtie should look about right!!

I came out pretty clean, sure hated to cut that grill.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
 

I hated the look of the rear of the frame so I cleaned it up a little. After getting both sides the same it really made a difference!

For you Blazer guys running Porterbuilt, this is not the right crossmember. After a couple of calls to Nate and Dave they had a new crossmember to me in no time. I cannot say enough about this company. Any questions are treated with the utmost importance.

One of the things that always bothered me about these frames is the hump on the passenger side, well, that isn't an issue anymore.

I got rid of the ugly e-brake holes as well as the shock mount holes.

Here is the correct Blazer Porterbuilt transmission/trailing arm crossmember.

After several attempts trying to get Raceline to correct all of the issues with rim fitment I finally gave up on them. After 1 full year I ran out of patience. :smoke:

Working with Travis at Pro Performance (and spending a ton of $$$ with them) I got the perfect rim for my build. I just cannot say enough about Travis. He is one of the best guys to deal with and very knowledgeable about all of his products. These are the new Boyd Centennials. 22x12 and 20x8.5.
