rancid · 08-29-2008, 10:44 AM

got me a new 08 reg cab 2500hd with a 6.0 and a auto and has all power stuff. think im going to throw on 6 inches and 37,s or 38,s. im also building a 08 full convertable blazer, from a 2000 chassis cab gmc. it will have glassworks unlimited 3 inch bulge fenders and a propane 468 hooked to a 4l80e trans and a 205. 60 on front and a 70hd on back. it will have a bench in back and buckets up front. its sitten on 42" iroks and black steels that will be converte to beadlocks.

after i shortened the frame, its a old work truck from my employer.

here it is trying to mock it up for the 60 and 70 pacement.

here it is getting the cab ready.

here it is with the glassworks body parts hanging on.

the front and rear hangers on.

starting the bed structure, still needs alot more done.

here it is out the garage, body panels not secured to bottom.

pulled the 350 vortec to drop in the propane 468 and 4l80e. will also cut off all ifs stuff and trim up the engine crossmember.

rancid · 08-29-2008, 10:56 PM

got the 468 in and cut off all ifs brackets and sectioned the motor crossmember.

still going to tear apart the truck after everthings done and powdercoat the frame and axles. just doing black and painting the motor black. no silly flashy crap.

**Palf70Step** · 08-30-2008, 08:00 AM
