Generally yes.

Curious is anyone has ever used these tires? I like them for that "vintage" look. And I thought for a weekend/camping rig they'd be good too. I'd like something like this on a '73-'75 Blazer if/when I ever get one. I know they are Bias-Ply and not radials so they won't last as long. If anyone has used them how did they handle? Thoughts?

Since you are in AZ, does your weekend camping include lots of soft sand? They might not be ideal for that.

Nope, no where that we like to camp is soft sand. Closest would be going through/crossing a wash, but no more than that.

Is it a '74? I like it too.

 

[Phil513]

Yup, I'd rock that thing with pride.

I'd prolly grind out some rust spots and just fiberglass it in for a quick fix. But I love it.

The body work Will come with time. First thing is the drivers door and hinges.

Thank you. I do need to level the rear end up. She is a little low in the rear.

Id leave it.

Thank you. My daughter picked the wheels and the tires.

Thank you for the compliment. It is a 3/4 ton 4x4. Good truck, rides a little rough, makes a lot of noise, weather stripping is shot, that kind of thing.

Thank y'all for the compliments. Didn't think she was so deserving.

Just picked this up a couple days ago as my first 4x4 project. Any idea how much lift this is? Currently has 35x12.50 procomps on it. I know it has 2" blocks on back.

[Phil513]

Looks to be 4" (although for some reason I can't get a bigger version of your pics). Mine has 35's, and looks similar.

 

[Tweekls1]

That's a clean blazer!!
Thanks man that kinda what I figured, looks like they threw blocks on top of the lift in the rear because it's sitting way higher in the rear.
