Ok, it sort of quit raining for a little bit so I quick backed the Blazer out and got a few pics for you guys.

Very fancy, looks ALMOST complete from the outside

I just got done putting the trim on this side a little while ago. I just need to get the bumpers back on and do something with the steering shaft, it seems to bind now that I have a body lift on it. I'll probabally try a u-joint in place of the rag joint at the steering box to see if that helps, has any done this and did it help?
And for whoever asked about clearing my garage door it clears my 8 foot door by 14 inches.

Awesome rig! Some pictures of the seats, please??? Don't worry, I won't look at the carpet. My carpet looks like a toasty lawn.

It wasn’t long after I put the 3in body lift and six suspension on mine that I started having steering joint trouble so I bought 2 flaming river joints from summit racing and a 1 ½ foot piece of double d steering rod. I think on the steering column side it was a ¾ by 32 spline with a double d on one side and on the box side it was 1in by 36 spline and a 1in round side. You can try to use the original double d shaft but if it comes out like mine did you will only have 1 to 2 in of over lap holing the shaft together. I wanted it around 4in. I don’t know how much it is suppose to collapse so you may want to measure it before you take it apart and see how much it moved in stock form. When it was done I never had any more trouble

I replaced the rag joints with ujoints on the steering shaft before I even thought about backing it out of the garage after puting the body lift on. I used the stock double d shaft, I had to modify it a bit but it worked out great. I'll try to get some more pics one of these days.

I want one that color...

What's left to do before you can go enjoy it?

Any drive train mods other than the lift?

Chevyman63 · 09-18-2006, 09:17 PM

That is freekin sweet!

MNorby · 09-19-2006, 12:48 AM

How well did those 97 seats line up? Did you have to build mounts ot just redrill? Thanks

orange72blazer · 09-19-2006, 12:07 PM

vtblazer- I've been driving it all summer,actually the last 4 summers. I work on it in the fall, winter, spring and try to drive it as much as possible in the summer. The drivetrain is stock for now.

MNorby-I used some of the factory holes & drilled new holes for the ones that didn't line up. I had to use a spacer on one hole but other than that it fit perfect.
