Well its time to start a new mud truck Build. Its a 91 chevy body on a 78 Blazer Frame with a 383 motor and a 350 th trans with a old 205 T-case. Running gear not sure yet.

Well I just got my 12" lift today and put on the springs and not to sure about them. So I called Superlift and told them about the way the spring are and they said thats the way they should be with no body on them

Don't think they are going to work to good. ;D

Well got the new heart for green bastard ready today and hope to have it in tomorrow. I hope to start putting the Body on and the 12" lift in the back of her. Just have to order in the 2200 Stall converter and the high torque gear reduction starter and should be able to fire her up.

my buddys blazer did the same thing. he bought the same lift. it seemed to get better after he drove it and hit a few bumps. his wasn't quite touching the frame just real close. but we never had the body off it.

Thanks Hope to have her going for mud fest in Augs but not to sure yet. Having front drive shaft issues now but should have that fixed by the end of the week. A friend stop in and told me about a set of rockwells in Springhill so just waiting on him to get more info for me. Should have the new paint on her by end of Augs.

Well after cutting a few 100 wires out of the fuel inj wire harness we finally got the green Bastard to fire up for a few sec. Hope to get every thing under the hood done tomorrow so I can get a start on the paint job - Plus I should have a set of rockwells by the weekend if things work out. ;D

Well got a few more pics of the truck. We got the inside of the truck done just have to put the roll cage in and the inside is all done. The new rockwells will be in by Dec for her. We are going with 2.5 ton axles with 5 ton Hubs from Red Barn Customs. Not to sure if the old 350 is going to have the power to push her in the mud. If not It will be time to go with a BBC.
