84 went for its last drive - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

low 84 · 01-29-2004, 02:24 PM

took the 84 out for its last drive last night.................for several months anyways

man it was running so good its a shame to take it apart. hit it from a 40 punch in first and tires just went upin smoke, shifted though every gear and still smoking like john force till i got out of it, lol.

gldevall · 01-29-2004, 02:30 PM

So, what is the new project you got? Come on we are all very anxious to know.

low 84 · 01-29-2004, 02:34 PM

the 84 is the project, i just bought a daily driver

**swervin ervin** · 01-29-2004, 02:38 PM

Have you changed your mind about selling it? I hope so.

bigblock73 · 01-29-2004, 02:39 PM

I felt the same way when I took Yeller apart, I felt like I was killing it.

What are your plans for the 84? You gonna drop the S truck too?

87 Shortwide · 01-29-2004, 02:50 PM

you had better have changed your mind...you sell it = I kick you in the nuts

low 84 · 01-29-2004, 02:51 PM

yeah after many different plans of action i finaly decided to keep it and get a economical daily driver. the blazer will probly get dropped 4/5 and a few other things but not much. let just say when i put the 84 together the last time since i was planning on driving it everyday there were some things holding me back, and i don't have to worry about that any more

2 things for sure though, NO bags and NO billet

AirMale · 01-29-2004, 04:37 PM

I had a 67 GTO conv. that I sold years ago. I'm still kicking myself in the dirt-box for that mistake. I wish I could show you the POS that I drive everyday so I never have to drive my shortbed. I like what someone said here once about putting it away until your interested in it again. So true! FYI-> I know how you like the stock rallies and was wondering if you ever saw them in 15X10's. I just got a pair from Paulsen Motorsports for $150. These wheels are sweet. 5 inch backspace. I got a phone number if you need it.

KShortell · 01-29-2004, 06:15 PM

I know how y'all feel. I haven't driven the Chevy in a couple of weeks. I ought to go out and start it up just to make sure the battery doesn't go dead. I leave her in the carport when the road salt's out these days...

Blue Beard · 01-29-2004, 10:29 PM

Could be worse.......could sell it and end up regretting it.........

Glad to see you decide to keep the 84 Ryan. You know you would have regretted it for sure.

corn · 01-31-2004, 02:12 PM

Ive always wanted an s10 2wd blazer. I took a few inches out of yours...corn

78chevstepside · 01-31-2004, 03:45 PM

I like 2wd drive blazers. Did you know they made 2wd blazer extremes that were lowered 2 " from the factory. These are kind of rare. My wife has one a 02 blazer extreme with with a 5 speed 4.3. I took this pick after it snowed. It snows here once every 5 years. It was kind of funny I got stuck at the end of my street.. We got funny looks

low 84 · 01-31-2004, 08:44 PM

i'll kick you both in the nuts if you don't shut up.

that edit of the blazer look about where i want it

gldevall · 01-31-2004, 10:50 PM

Hey Ryan I'll get some pics on here Monday of my old blazer. It had spindles and 3" springs ( I also heated them) and 3" leafs and 3" blocks. I never got to finish it.

Low83 · 02-02-2004, 02:24 AM

Blazer Extremes rare??? there are 5 of them here in town

messed up c-10 · 02-02-2004, 03:30 AM

I've been looking into getting an S-10 or S-10 Blazer too. I need a more economical daily driver esp. when I I start full time at school in the fall. Its a pretty good drive there and back every day and its going to be just to much for my truck to handle I think. Even if the truck could handle it I don't think I could afford to keep it running five days a week. Where are you going to keep the 84?

gldevall · 02-02-2004, 11:27 AM

Blazer pics. Notice the red truck in the background. Look familiar? It's came a long way since then.
