PLAN B

It was a 02 so the bad trans year, oil leak was rather bad thats what killed the already twice replaced belt, car had like 200k or so.

Trans lasted like 60k longer then the known to.

I think i found my cut lines. Hope to make them soon. Got distracted picking up a suburban for my cousin.
Ill get better pics tomorrow.

 

[the_blaze]

Better pics of the cut lines... id like the slider in thes week then supports then patching all yhe holes in the floor lol wow this thing is rotten....

There is a reason i dont feel bad hacking this thing up.... eventually it will all be replaced eith new sheetmetal and tubes

 

[blazinzuk]

Well it's a good time to cut the floor apart and replace some of it anyway.

 

[the_blaze]

I mean if i let it go we could call it weight reduction right??
Its kinda neat to know my carpet is now structural vs just cosmetic

I really didnt want to yank out the interior but i think i probably should and just do a patch here and there to ensure i dont fall through the floor....

 

[blazinzuk]

I would get the sliders done. And see where your at with it. If you can get by for a while I would consider waiting till you can properly patch it.

Then you don't end up patching patches with patches

 

[tenderfoot]

Yeah, cuz then you would have to name your blazer Patches

Anybody have a lead on a dirt cheap running 454 for a last minute budget build for another ck5'r ? (Not for me but I'll definitely be working on it)

 

[the_blaze]

I think im going to throw my slippers on tomorrow and start cutting and tack the slider in place...

 

[the_blaze]

Put my slippers on and went to work.
Got it cut out and tacked the sliders in.
Im not a real fabricator so im a little lost on how to make great legs. May not look amazing but we will get it done.

 

[the_blaze]

And yes i will be trimming the fenders to line up with the sliders i just ran out of time

 

[the_blaze]

opinions please....
once this is all wrapped up i want to spray paint it one color so it matches and looks less like the 4 different trucks i have patched together. what are your thoughts on:
1.Neon/Safety/lime green
2.snow camo
3.white
4.other (go on...)

 

[kgblazerfive]

Tan....

 

[skunked]

white

 

[ashman]

Tan....

Orange

White is easier, and it is cooler in the sun.
The green would make it "Lime B"

 

[Justin V]

Just use a readily available paint and color...

Don't want to be hunting down a can or two for touch up when you violate some rocks...

rattle can truck bed liner, for structural integrity
