my TRAZER build thread...take a gander

[blazerboss 85]

well i have had this blazer parked in my driveway for about a year the tranny blew and now ive decided to do something cool with it so here goes

i started cutting the body off and looking for a pickup

well i found the pickup its a 82 k20 has a 14 bolt rear and a crappy 10 bolt front but it also has an sm465 and np205 so im happy i took it home for 250 it had a front clip and doors when i brought it home but i scrapped em cause the doors were holey and im putting a square style front clip on it

well i got the cab off and scrapped the pickup frame all i need is a clutch and flywheel then i can put this between the rails of the blazer frame

im gunna rebuild the 205 and im also going to convert it to fixed yoke. after i get the tranny bolted to the engine the cab will go on the blazer frame and ill go ahead and make the rear cab mount.

heres the blazer chassis its a 4 barrel 350 im kinda worried ill have troube smogging the trazer because the pickup had 2 barrel carb but we will see what happens if anyone here knows what may happe with that let me know ill keep yall updated

What do the neighbors think?

most of them think its great but its the pussies that cant say things to my face that called code enforcement so ive got like 3 weeks to have it rolling and put it in the garage

 

[blazerboss 85]

well ive been working on it a little the past week its been slow because ive had to wait for a clutch and flywheel from the auto parts store and now i have to wait longer because i had to order the flywheel bolts since i switched from automatic to manual on the blazer chassis the bolts are different length also i need the bolts that hold the clutch onto the flywheel would i be okay just using some grade 8 bolts from ace? thanks

 

[YZEATER]

wow, you must have sucky auto parts stores around you to not have an old chevy clutch setup in stock.

i got my flywheel to crank bolts from summit, they ship quick, and just used grade 8 bolts for the clutch to the flywheel.

Looks like your having fun. Out of curiousity, what was the story with the original blazer body? I wish I could find a tub as solid as that one looked.
