Square-Body Military Blazer junkyard score
Got lucky and found the remains of a military Blazer in the junkyard this week!
Got the two 15x8 wheels off it, skid plate and cross member, factory exhaust hangers, rear leaf springs, and most interesting--the front and rear leaf spring hangers and shackles: They were BOLT ON, not riveted. I've never seen that before... only thing I can think is they were bolt-on to simplify repairs in the field. I also got the front cross member/sway bar mount, and the passenger door was mint. All the chassis parts are going to make their way onto my '62 K10 build. The rear leafs will go on the front of my truck, and the hangers/core support mounting brackets look like they're going to bolt on 4 inches forward of the stock perches now, solving another problem: centering the axle in the wheel opening. The wheels were the most expensive part, at $30 each (!), but they completed my set of 5. Door was $60, and all the rest was $40.
