Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds ...Another awesome Chevy build that's going to put mine to shame...Really!? That's off to an awesome start for sure. Between the two of us I think we're going to run the farm stores outta 3/16 rod ; ) lol. I love the old Chevy builds. I could look at them all day. |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Body looks great, chassis is definitely not hard to look at either. Nice job so far. |

Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Let's see that secret squirrel spare tire holder ;-) |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds I got some parts in this week so I made some time to work on the blazer http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...ps72914w6q.jpg and picked some wheels from a member on here still need to get the pitbull rock beast most places are out of stock :x so put the swampers on them for now http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2judahnc.jpg I decided to cut out a spot in the floor/frame so I can put a full size spare in standing up and I will be making a tire mount for it to stand up and off to the side http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...pslo5r0s3t.jpg there you go Miko :flipoff: http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psggvjnixh.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psyufr8fi2.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psvooxdgsg.jpg I picked up a 3D printed grill off ebay to save me some time and cut out for light buckets but didn't like that it was flat :x http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psgdvsgfyq.jpg so I cut the ends off and added to it :) http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psxfixfypc.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psunlwk1o6.jpg im not done but its a start http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psnc0lvgot.jpg |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Nice Grill! I need to make one for my 74 GMC Drift Dually. Are you going to convert the fenders to the older style? I've got that done, along with extending the nose of the hood as well. but need to work on the grill. Here's a pic side-by-side with the stock clod shell https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...72&oe=5595688F |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds yes I am going to extend the hood the fenders maybe it all depends on how much of it is left after I cut to fit the tires the ones that are on it are a little taller then what I will be using |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Spare tire cut out looks spot on! "thumbsup" Now hurry up and get the shock mounts done so I can lift each corner up and set it back down for hours :lmao: |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Sweet rig but full side rigs have 8 lug bolt pattern on there rims not 6...... I think lockup has the 8? |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Very nice work sir. Definately subscribed! |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds you had me at hello! damn nice! got a link to that ebay grill? |

Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds I have some time and parts now that there back in stock. :lmao: so I started with putting the pitbulls on the wheels and was going to use these rings but didn't look right so back to the simple rings for now. http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psdao0wcf1.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psptf2ohva.jpg next was to add scale bolts :x after a few hours and a 1-64 tap and nice ARB diff covers http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...sw8m4ncfo.jpeg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psrodqtbt1.jpg next to be done was shackles and shock mounts http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psmk165qcu.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psjpazwbfw.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7k3ygv2p.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psjsq5rcyb.jpg the front bumper :evil: so many ways to go but im not a stinger guy :flipoff: and I wanted to see the winch some but didn't want it to be the only thing you see in pics so this is the end result http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psycxfol7y.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psrs2hthaq.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psyfoqr6on.jpg and the rear bumper im not sure if I like it or not let me know what you think should I leave it, add to it or cut and start over http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...pskkavy5ta.jpg http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...pshslj9sup.jpg |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Absolutely awesome fab work, almost a shame to cover it with the body! Truck looks killer so far! |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds Top notch craftsmanship stance and oveerall look A+. |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds You have a good eye for doing tubework, very nice!"thumbsup" |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds the thin rings and irok tires looked the best too me. the pitbulls kinda ruin the super scale look you had going imo. |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds For a Super scale look you would be running some 4 inch tires . The pits are at least smaller looking and help it away from the monster truck look |
Re: 77' blazer "clod body" by southern builds I drool on it everytime I hold it in my hands. This needs to be prioritized. My mental psyche can't handle this wait |
