Since the Blazer's wheelbase is 8.5" shorter than the 66, I am going to have to cut that much out of the bed, betwixt the cab and the rear wheel wells.
Go with a wood stake-side so it can be loaded from the sides?
Mad project, when that 77 was coming apart I could almost smell the grease.
All I can say is Bad ***. Awsome skills. I hope to build an older vehicle for and with my son for his first. Although I will have to outsource a lot of the work. My skills are more toward construction not auto's. Again, Bad ***.
Add a leafs on the front, with those big ol springs will make it ride similar to the back of the black Toyota. I would see about having those re-arched rather than adding leaves. Just a thought.
And I hope you smash your thumb betwixt a 1/2" drive ratchet handle and the frame, for that email you sent me!

Ditto!
That Codeman is one lucky kid! Y'all are doing a mighty fine job on that cruiser.....but I have a question....you put in a speedometer that goes to 160????
Man Joey that is looking good, I was wondering how far along you guys had made it so far.
I would agree with Dale and have the springs re-arched vs putting and add a leaf on the front.
Go ahead and arch them a bit extra, I have a spare BBC sitting on a stand we can stick in there !
The thing I like best is, after it's all complete, Cody will actually have some idea of how to work on his own truck. Very few kids seem to have been given this opportunity. You done good!
