I would like to ask all who took photos at Disney Oklahoma this past weekend to forward them to me or post them on a website like <a target="_blank" href=http://www.webshots.com>www.webshots.com</a> or a site similar to Chad's. Thanks all for attending. I wish we all could have had more time to shoot the breese. I did not get to talk to very many of you. I will get a trail report started soon and posted on my site. Steve, if you would like to post a trail report, I will forward you a link after it's finished. Email photos to
[email protected] We still have decals left from this event, if you would like a decal or two, they are $4 each and we can mail them to you.
Now, a little info on the Yellow First Gen Blazer owned by Steve S. If my memory is correct, this K5 has 2.5 ton rockwells with 6.72 gears front and rear. Rear dif is welded, front has detroit. Wheelbase has been extended up front and the whole package rides on BDS springs. Rear has been bobbed 18" total. Departure angle is near 90 degrees! The tires are 44" swampers on custom MRT beadlocks with centers made by Steve. With the inboard disks, the rig stops on a dime! It has a smallblock with TBI fuel injection, NP205 Transfer Case and TH350 tranny. This truck can cross the bottomlands at Disney (very bumpy) at near 90 MPH speeds and cruised the trails on the midnight run at no less than 30mph!! - Right Layne?
Steve checks out this site and will hopefully register a username soon. He can tell you more about his rig. Perhaps, we can get him to do a feature article on it! So, all you contemplating buying a D60 frontend, why spend $1500 plus on that frontend when you can buy a set of rockwells for $900!!! I tell you, I was dreaming about those axles while driving 6.5 hours back to St. Louis...
Later all!!!
