Well time to build a new mud truck for next years fun!! its a 1980 SWB frame with 4 " lift springs in the front and ORD flip spring kit on the back. For the body is going to be a 90 S-10 2dr Blazer with a 383 stroker motor that I hope will put out 408 hp & 450 FT/LBS of Torque. ;D.     Just got the new Dana 44 in the front end but going to sell it and put a Dana 60 under the front.  . Hope to get the Blazer home Saturday night so I can start pulling the body off the frame on Sunday.  |

Still not sure yet on the 4 link yet?? The price for DOM is crazy so not to sure yet on it. The leafs came with the frame so if I sell them the money will go for the DOM.

Looking good!
So are you scrapping the full size frame plan now?? ... looks like you cut out the spring hangers and put them on the blazer frame.
I thought about not bothering with the heater on mine too and last Saturdays run reminded me why I kept it. By the end of the day it was cranked. ;D

The full size frame is going under the 91 3/4 ton for my wife for her mud truck  lol. The full size chev hanger are not going to be a fun job. Have to get the front hangers out about 3"s to line up with the back hanger so I can get the rear end under ;D I think the top of the roof on the blazer is about 9 feet now and still have to go 4 more feet to get the rear end under it. Hope to have the rear end under her by Sunday if everything goes good Saturday at Mudfest ;D |
