low buck build up

underpowered · 02-16-2012, 10:06 PM

retired the Trusty ZJ to field duty, time to move on to bigger and better things.

picked this up for $750 as a starting point.

1989 k5 blazer. 350TBI, sm465, np241. has some clutch issues, but does run and drive. body is rough, but for $750 i didn't expect a show piece.

plan is to shackle flip the rear, lift the front to match (4" lift springs or possiblya 52" spring swap), narrow the front clip, some sliders and bumpers, lock the rear and wheel it till the 10 bolts break, then find a 14b and d44(but hopefully a 60) for it. eventually a cage and a bit more motor. gonna be a long slow build.

picked up some steel wheels from Hodgie now searching for some springs and tires.
