This build is looking sweet so far, is the chassis supposed to match the bodywork?

1 other thing..."Combat Chuck" is an old song by Five Iron Frenzy in case you didn't know...

Thanks. For the most part the chassis is made to match, but I could run other bodies if I wanted to. It's not really a chevy specific chassis.

Ah, I'm glad someone got the FIF reference.

This build brings back some memories!

You should think of mounting one of the hayes antennas on the driver's side rear quarter. Mine was mounted right behind the driver's door just below the front lower corner of the side window. would look sweet

QUOTE=hiliftcrawler;770848]nice blazer when we gonna get some pics with the front bumper[/QUOTE]

How's about now?

But first, the bumper. I picked it up from Good 'Nuff racing and came with fairlead and tow rings:






The bumper on the truck:




I took my bro for a ride in the Blazer and that inspired him to get '70's International Scout riding on swampers:




My Ford died on me, so I went out and got a lifted 4-linked '72 Chevy 4x4 shortbed. It didn't have a bumper, so I recycled the from the F100 along with the tires, because the ones it had were flat with cracked wheels.





All together:


Yay! Articulations !

The more I see those tires the more I want a set.

I heard running a chevy body will make your rig run erratic and rattle like a mofo.

Very nice realism on both your trucks. The antena on the blaizer would look good mounted on the rear bumper and tied down to the front over the cab. Very motor pool.
