The little blazer that could.

I appreciate it. This stuff is taking alot of fab work but its coming together nicely. Few more hours cutting and welding should finish her up.

sounds good... you'll have to post a video of it when it's all buttoned up.

It should be movable pretty soon, but it needs new steering tie rod ends and ball joints pretty bad. Won't be going far in it til they get replaced. All this stuff is original off a 200,000 mile donor truck. Will just have to wait on funding to get all that replaced. Its got 8 tie rod ends, 3 idler arms, and a pittman arm as it sits. Just mostly need a few more brackets fabbed up for the steering, some brake line extenders front and rear to be able to drive it around the yard. I would like to get a rocker panel measurement on it, its got 265/75/16 tires on it and its almost up to my waist lol. Would love to chop the fenders, crank the torsion bars, and get some 36"-38" tires on it. The gov-loc in the rear is already stripped, so its probably gettin lincoln locked soon after its running.

You are one handy ****. Come up and help me sas my truck!

 

[98_k1500]

Hell if i could, i would. And i would write down every measurement on everything i built and use it as a blueprint for later projects.

See, it's a win win...

Considering the cost of quitting my job and flying up there, working on your truck for a month straight, then having to find employment when i get back, I could probably do it for around $50,000. I'll source all the parts you need.

 

[SCOTTYINWV]

We got a deal

 

[98_k1500]

Aight, sounds good. I will promptly tell my boss to take this job and shove it, and i'll catch the next flight up there. I'll have my truck shipped up there first chance i can where you will have something to drive while i work on yours.

 

[SCOTTYINWV]

Bring the blazer too

 

[98_k1500]

Sounds good. Im just not sure how i'm gonna load it with no steering or brakes hooked up. Might let the shipping company figure that one out.
