Cute kid, nice truck!

smbrouss70 · 08-12-2018, 06:50 PM

Any updates? I could have sworn I saw a pic of this one on FB bagged with a 20/22 combo on it.

Yup, thats me. I don't come on here a whole lot these days, but i figured id post some updates

YBNORML · 09-04-2018, 12:42 AM

Where do I start?

I parted out my PB short box project, but I kept some of the best goodies for myself. I also came across an abandoned project that I also parted out and kept some for myself out of that as well.

Its basically a different truck. Heres a few pics of how she looked when i pulled her in the shop last fall.

YBNORML · 09-04-2018, 12:54 AM

Yanked the front clip and engine/trans

New drivetrain is a Big Block 454 with a mild cam. The engine was in a 1979 Camper Special. The previous owner, a very good friend of mine was down south years ago when he blew the original engine. He was on a deadline and just had a local dealership put in a new crate 454. He hadn't put 10,000kms on it when i bought it. Transmission is a brand new TH400 with a 2500stall.

YBNORML · 09-04-2018, 01:00 AM

Rear end is a 12 bolt from a 72' It has been completely rebuilt with a 3:73 posi, new axles, new carrier, new gears, basically new everything. Also has CPP disc brakes installed. Never took any pics before i threw it in.

YBNORML · 09-04-2018, 01:06 AM

New wheels are chrome 20/22 Ramblers by USmags. A very nice wheels for the price point. Tires are 265/35/22 and 245/35/20.Ignore the blue fenders, just used them for test fitting the wheels.

**raggedjim** · 09-06-2018, 08:53 PM

I like it very much.

Nice work, Rg

smbrouss70 · 09-06-2018, 10:12 PM

Engine up and running. Its nothing special. Just a basic 454. Looks shiny and cool though.

YBNORML · 09-09-2018, 11:12 PM

With some help from Slammed66 a long standing member on here. I added bags and an Accuair air management system. The Accuair is currently only partially installed. It still needs the ride sensors installed but I've decided to leave that for a winter project and just cruise the rest of the summer.

I mounted the tank, compressors and and management system using Accuairs ExoMount system, keeps everything nice and tidy. I plan on building a vented box to cover it eventually.

I bought the hidden ashtray for the Accuair controller from a guy on Instagram. Its wicked slick. Keeps everything hidden, kind of important when security is nonexistent.

YBNORML · 09-09-2018, 11:29 PM

I have never been a fan of the 72' front end. I am a 67/68 guy at heart. But since I can't afford to to repaint the truck at this time. A bumper change is about all thats gonna happen.

A new 67-70 chrome bumper and a pair Ebay lights with integral signal lights did the trick. I'm much happier, at least for now.

YBNORML · 09-10-2018, 11:57 PM

Which now brings us to this.

Gonna run her until the snow flies and then complete the Accuair install and a few other things that i'm unhappy with.

YBNORML · 09-11-2018, 12:01 AM

I love this pic. Taken after a random cleaning day.

american revolution · 09-11-2018, 12:13 AM

your blazer looks 1000 percent better!!!! great job

**Tom Vogel** · 09-11-2018, 09:01 AM

Just a really nice looking truck.

scf100 · 09-13-2018, 10:30 PM
