|  72 Blazer *updates 4/13*
ok guys and gals. i'm going to try and do a 10th scale version of my friends "beast". its a 72 chevy blazer. what i hope to do. custom scale chassis-by me, whenever we get gas in for mig tires-i need some help, going for 36"ers but high lifts would be 37's maybe close enough. i uno yet. rims-will decide later. body-proline 72 c-10 and try to cap it some how. tranny-t3, locker by a brandon wheelbase-12" or so give or take motor-35t or maybe even a 27t its gonna be a mudder suspension-leaf front, 4link rear onto the pic of his truck. i'll get some buildups asap. lemme know what you guys think so far. and some help or opinions maybe?

got some of the welding done today in shop. the front is all boxed in and welded. and one side has the piece going down. than i started thinking. how could i mount a tlt hanger from a flat piece of 1/8x1/2" steel? bolt it to the inside of the chassis? with the spring mounted in it? i also want to do a shackle for some extra flex, could i use the bike chain links on the front? or which would be best? thanks guys. yeh cammo its gonna be rocking tlt axles. palo-thanks for the suggestion. i'll hit brandon up to see what we can do. and a eta. your rig looks pretty sweet too Last edited by IronOx; 04-11-2007 at 04:21 PM. |

Looking forward to seeing this one since I'm partial to 72 Blazers. I think my next project is a 1/10th version of my old Blazer.  |
