I don't know if you want to call it a sickness, intro to hoarding or a straight enthusiest but it seems that I am starting a collection lol.
I picked this one up not to far from home for $200. It doesn't have a engine or transmission but everything else is there.
My current Blaze is just a sunny day pavement princess that doesn't see much action. This one will be a little different. Im going to be build this one to wheel. Finally getting back in the game!
So I kinda have an Idea what direction I want to go with this build and I am currently in the process of collecting the majority of the parts that I need before I attempt to start this.
For the drivetrain:
400/205 (I picked up for $140)
Dana 44/14 bolt (I currently have, hopefully I can find a Dana 60F)
I will probably do the NWF black box
Spool for the 14 bolt, cut/shaved pumpkin
If I run the 44 it will be a ez locker of some sort
If I have a 60, it will be a OX
Crossover/High steer
40" LTB
Suspension:
6" ez rides for the front
Shackle flip in the rear, stock spings
ORD drop shackles, greasable suspension/bushings
Im going to narrow the front and rear end of the blazer but I would like to figure out a way to retain the full top for when I go wheeling between fall and spring, since it rains in Oregon the majority of the time, then have it off during decent weather and summer. Ill have to get a little creative with the back end to be able to do this.
The blaze
The rig that I'm going to be base my build around.
