Sorry for the slow responce. The overall length of the rear end is 40".

Chevyrod · 05-04-2008, 07:22 PM

Here is a couple of pics of the top back on the blazer with the seams gone

. Now I think I need to shave the factory seams on the metal roof and/or the rain gutters as well. It's never ending!!!!!

1.The tires are 33x19.5x15 (Mickeys)
2.The wheels are Weld racing 15x14 or 15x15 (Not sure they were on the blazer when I got it.)
3.Not sure on the back spacing, I did a rough measurement this morning it looks 5.5 offset. I will be pulling the wheels off soon for paint and I'll give you some exact measurements then if that will help you.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!!!!!!

Awesome Truck>>>>>>>>

Any thought of switching wheels/tires out to the BIG 20" Mickey Thompson tires? That would be killer!

mrenj23 · 05-07-2008, 01:26 AM

I'm glad to see you didnt give up on that thing. I'm trying to get mine painted sometime soon too.

smashingchuck · 05-09-2008, 08:47 AM

Nice work on a kick ass blazer!

If it makes you feel any better, you are farther along than me by far!

Chevyrod · 05-09-2008, 11:58 PM

Thanks again for the compliments. Hope to get some more time on it this weekend.

Chevyrod · 05-12-2008, 03:22 AM

Looks good.. Did you round the bottom of the top? It looks like you did some work on that. Looks good. Do you have any better pics of that?

Thanks,
Trav

screwballl · 06-02-2008, 12:21 PM

I'm going to leave them on. I know it would look alot better with them shaved, but I am ready to see some yellow paint on this thing!!!!

smashingchuck · 06-02-2008, 01:27 PM

Just the kind of modifications I like. I knew it looked good, but couldn't tell what exactly you changed. Had to go back and look at the older pictures to see what it looked like before. Right on.

smashingchuck · 06-02-2008, 11:31 PM

plus shaving the rain gutters isn't as easy as it sounds. Mine are shaved, and it makes the doors look like they should be flat, but they have a natural roll to them. I would leave them on, especially with the gap for the top there.

tvblazer78 · 06-03-2008, 09:28 AM

I like it man!! that's somthing I may do on down the road.

Thanks,
Trav

Chevyrod · 11-13-2008, 07:16 PM

Its been a loooooooong time since I have posted anything new. It seems like everytime I have the money saved up to put into the blazer something comes up (Bills, Kids, Wife heck just LIFE in general. So last week I ordered a gallon of HOT ROD FLATZ paint and painted the blazer. I am going to put it back on the road for a little while. Take it to a few local shows and have some fun with it. I still have to paint the top and put the glass back in it.

Here are a few pics after paint.

Chevyrod · 11-13-2008, 07:27 PM

A few more Pics.

tvblazer78 · 11-13-2008, 08:37 PM

Chevyrod your back!! Happy to seya again..

Man I love that black on that thing, are you sure you are not going to keep it like that? Is just looks cool.. Come back and see us some soon..
