Re: Bagged Beater, Daily Driver (76 Blazer)

What did you do in order to keep the back seat with that drop?

Re: Bagged Beater, Daily Driver (76 Blazer)

I kept the front mounts bolted into the floor and just lifted the back of the seat up a few inches tilting the seat forward a little bit. It's not noticeable to look at, and my buddies haven't complained about comfort issues on cruise nights. (I don't have to sit back there anyway )

Re: Bagged Beater, Daily Driver (76 Blazer)

Oh and for the seat belts, I wanted to bolt them into a crossmember since the floor structure has been compromised, so I bought seat belts out of a fullsize chevy van at the wreckers. They were the only ones I could find that were long enough to reach back to the crossmember. (Too bad the belts are purple)

Also your new compressor is nice, but in the end think about doing a york ac compressor to run your air ride.

I keep mine at 200psi of and 170 on. Fills my 2 5 gallon tanks from empty to full in about 2 mins. 170 psi to 200 about 10 secs.

And silent. no electrical, except for the clutch, but that’s like 16 gauge wiring.


-And by the way, nice blazer! i do like 'em

Re: Bagged Beater, Daily Driver (76 Blazer)

I'm planning on throwing the old compressors in my daily driver pickup so I can run an air tank for filling tires and running an air horn..
Thanks for the compliments.

No cups. Just a top plate to mount the bags. Bags sit loose on the lower control arm. And I've got 3" spindles.

I think the gas tank and control arms/crossmember would touch the ground if I wasn't running such tall tires. I'm running a 255/45/20 on the front and a 265/50/20 on the back. I think I have about an inch in the front and about 1/2 an inch to the gas tank.
