Good luck I love the look of mine I just drove it for the first time yesterday. Check out my thread. Ask if you need anything

Why?

[CherryK5]

Why what??

 

[Deuling]

Why what??

Why build it is my guess. Neither rig looks bad IMO.

 

[supermotard750]

Everyone has their own wants in a rig. The trazer style appeals to some people so why not build the best one you can

 

[82355]

Why ruin a Blazer to build a short squirrely pickup?

Martin

 

[73redblaze]

In ca I can't register the blazer and the Chevy is smog exempt

 

[73redblaze]

Plus I want a smaller capable rig and I like trazers

 

[82355]

I see. Why can't you register it?

Martin

 

[73redblaze]

Won't pass smog with performance motor

 

[73redblaze]

so i pulled the motor and trany today, got them sold and picked up. now i need to remove both cabs. Im also robbing the 2wd ps box for crossover. between the motor, trany and tires, the truck has paid for itself and i still have a bunch of good panels, 73 cab, long bed, rear axle, ext. pics to come

 

[73redblaze]

got some other stuff for the truck, diy4x shackle flip. 4wd drop steering arm ($20 from a local member) and a free steering wheel

 

[73redblaze]

one man cab removal. 1 high lift jack, 4 jackstands, 10 cinder blocks and a sawzall = cab removal and one hillbilly trailer

 

[Deuling]

Lol

 

[rdn2blazer]

I've decided I want a hillbilly trailer too.

Hillbilly Trailers are the best! Mine used to be a Ford F250 so when I say I tow Fords quite a bit I'm telling the truth.....
