Sorry, shackles not blocks. Control arms are good. Front end will be getting worked on in the summer, just did the torsion keys to give myself cowardice for the Goodyear's

 

So for some reason I forgot I started a build thread for the blazer a long time ago.... But I'm just gonna continue off of this one so I don't have a shopping list of threads started for each part lol

So after a year of having my S10 rims I finally found some center caps for them! I payed 40$ for all four in decent shape. I have cleaned them up and painted them silver to match the rims. Come summer I'm hoping to fill in the GMC with Bondo or something and placing a custom bowtie on it.

Also driving in town today I seen a rear window decal of a white bowtie and in the middle it said "bowtie till I die". Now I'm thinking of finding a printing company to make one up for me with a blazerforum.com at the bottom. Any thoughts?

Oh and from my other post, I solved my massive clinking noise... My lower ball joints bolts were all loose for some reason... Noise solved . Now my ujoints are making noises I'm assuming from what I've read.

 

So I had to rewire my trailer plugin. Last year the trailer came off the ball and broke the bracket. It was a little tricky, the 7 prong plugin doesn't work, but the 4 flat does so I'm not concerned on fixing it until after my road trip.

Also decided to throw on my summers. Going to lower my torsion keys a little tomorrow after work and hopefully install my 2" shackles. I'm going to have to replace the leafs at some point... Running flat atm.

 

Any chance you got a shot down the side with the 2wd wheels / Duratracs?

(showing the how far past the fenders they are)


:::EDIT::: Nevermind, there's one on the front page.

 

They aren't too bad on the back, but the front sticks out a little. Tires fit good, just had to take off the much flap on the front and tighten the torsion keys so they would stop hitting the top of the fender. Other then that, there was no modifications. Would look better with a 1" spacer on the back to even out the wheel spacings.

 

My Z's pump went at about 140k~ miles on the way to work one morning. Managed to get it pushed across the street (I was sitting at a light) part way into a parking lot, luckily I had the phone number of the guy I was working with that morning. Gave him a call, he came down and gave me a hand getting it moved into a parking space and gave me a ride to work.

Replaced it with a genuine AC Delco pump ( $$$ Ouch). No problems since.
