320728_146_full.jpg




good bye /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

320728_147_full.jpg


new 82 front fenders, 79 and down lights, new radiator, corboe race seats, and added tube to the cage and removed the fender skins and added 5 doller trailer tail lights /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif and a 454 on top /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif


here it was in september before it was on the road /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Looks good!

But I think that the roll gave it character.

Too bad about losing the paint job though.
 
I like that better anyways....Wish the Burb would look good without skins /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Too bad ya spent all that money on new body panels and paint, plus all the hours of grafting in those 'yota tail lights, before you decided that it would be fun to see how fast you could destroy it. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
 
no.. I really like haveing the clearence between my body and frame, plus my distribiter doesn't hit this way with the big block, and I want to go to 42's with out having to hit the floor or move the axel forward.

plus I can run tube under the body to tie in both dides of my rear bumper and rockers for extra streanth and support.

I am also am making a new sub frame out of 2x2 in the rear bed since my bolts ripped through the floor,plus it allows me to not have huge stiff springs /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

and the # 1 reason of all..... It is easy as hell to get to the top two bolts on my tranny /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif try that on a stock truck /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have debated taking it off all the time "even today I thought about it" but I just like the benifits. /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif

Holly crap dude! /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif You are one crazy SOB. I still like it though, I mean at least you went and got new straight fenders to put back on it. BTW how do you have all this time and money to work on that thing (and run it for that matter)If I did all that I'd have to sell the house /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
 
Shawn, so how about a slammed 75 2wd for your next project. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Atleast you won't be tempted to roll it. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
 
Holy crap dude, I watched that truck go from pristine condition to piece of [darn] rock crawler body in 3 months. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
 
I own my own bisiness and am doing very well for a 19 year old "knock on wood" things are going great and I work from about 3:30 am to 7:30am monday through friday so I have all day to tinker on it /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

also means that I dont have to work on the weekend so I get alot of chances to break... I mean, wheel my truck /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
ur rig is MUCH cooler post-roll... Im thinking that everyone should roll their rig! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif a lot less bling... which is ALWAYS a good thing.

Glad that you are ok. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
That was such a straight and clean and nice looking Blazer... too bad it all got messed up. But I'm sure... in some strange way... it was still worth the fun though (rolling it).
 
yea, just wait untill my next update, I got tons of cool crap in the works /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif


I am a little bummed but I learned alot during the build up so I know what to do and what not to do on my next one, also I may start with a non wrecked truck and I make more money now so it wont take me 2.5 years this time /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif.....I hope

73-75 tub
3/4 front 1 ton rear
toyota lights..again
480le built
built BB with howell FI
Carpet!
yukon/ suburban leather seats
97 and up suburban dash
91 front clip with HID lights
bright red pearl paint
tan interior
18 or 20 inch rims...I'm serious /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif
39 inch tires
and a KMA style front bumper
front/rear cv shafts Hi angle machined
and to top it off stage 3 fogger kit /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

I also have a plan to graft in 94+ camaro side mirrors into the door and fender /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

oh and a custom tailgate with my business name surrounded by flames.

oh an I know I cant spell..dislexic gets me
 
The rig looks nice, buildups are definatly alot of work im in the middle of mine nearing the end of phase 1, I still need a 2 inch lift and shocks. Money is what keeps on haultin me. That and the motor is kinda screwy. Im 19 too btw. Whats your business?
 
What's that a C-10 over there? What are you going to do to it? Lety me know my causon whats to do a C-5 or A C-10 Build-up.

Hope your like your K-5 since the roll over!
