nope thats one is grey mine is rattle can blue! im like 3 blocks down from that one. haha :D

anyways im going to be pulling my 2wd apart and keeping the body in a storage. i got another 4.3 thats carb that im going to build for it an im going to be rebuilding the truck back on a luv frame cause i found all the weak spots of the blazer frame(the s10 pick up frame is differnt) and to be rid of most of them i would have to cut the frame off be hinde the a-arms and start from scratch. I dont have the time, the shop, or the money to do it right now but hopefull this summer i can get back to work on it!

Would it be easier to have a body shop pull the frame straight? I would seam to me it would be allot less work.

cool maybe we can meet or something and shoot the shit, as for the 2wd it's not just the frame being bent the frame was cheaply made so even after boxing some of it and adding 3 crossmebers the frame still flex's side to side. the blazer frame was a bad base to start with. an s10 pick up would be a lot better!!!
