Well the strap over the hood was because the front clip wasn't on, so we just set it on the mounts and I cranked it down.

The strap through the center was to hold the seats down.

The strap in the rear was holding a door down.

Then your chains and boomers were holding the axle's.

I was actually surprised the truck pulled it that well. It was probably 5000-6000 pounds. I had 10 extra rims, 4 with tires. 3 flywheels, a bunch of extra drive shafts, a ton of misc. parts, and an extra fender.

I could hold my speed on pretty decent hills, but the motor would knock if I pushed it to hard. The next time I'll fill up with some better gas. My engine is also throwing an EGR valve error, but I didn't have time to replace that before the trip.

The plan is to use the best parts between my old one and this one and make one nice blazer and then maybe sell it.

Unbelievable, I thought you would need a ‘Stroke at the bare minimum to pull that. :rolleyes:

Cool, find Doug, I did the 14, is it full floating or semi-floating?
