i thought it was a single cab long bed for some reason is all

[bcolman]

after this weekend i found out lots that need to be done

i have a cable shifter for the transfer case on its way, new front diff cover and then move the current front one to the rear, tube out the front and add sliders, and build a better cross member, and i am sure there is more

[colman]

i predict 200 feet of tube within 3 months

[bcolman]

i finally got the blazer back to the house and have started tearing it down to do some work. i got 150 feet of tube to finish the cage and narrow the front, i am pulling the transfer case out tomorrow and getting it rebuilt, and the list goes on, ill get pictures tomorow and show the progress

does any one have a torch i can use for a few hours? i need to cut out some rivets to do the 52'' spring swap.

[Reckless]

i can help you rebuild the 205, its not rocket science

[bcolman]

i got some work done today, i pulled out the old front springs and torched off the spring mounts, pulled apart the grill, pulled the battery, and pulled the transfer cases. here are some pictures of how it looks now.

I am sure you went down to Madame Maries's House of Voodoo and Waffles and got the 2fer (plate of waffles and one hex of your choice) to keep code enforcement at bay...

make it lower, cut sheet metal.

push drivetrain up, try to get a flat belly (you're already redoing one of the three mounts...) Put that engine right up to the hood...

[redcagepatrol]

why new springs?

[AggieTJ2007]

I think they are 52s instead of 48s it should give it a little more flex and better ride in the front

i am clocking up the 205 to be flat or close to flat, im also taking off the 2 inch body lift

[DRAGOONRANCH]

yes-to Creightons spring comment

[bcolman]

that is true, better flex and better ride, and it will move the front axle forward a few inches

[Doug Krebs]

Want my old bumper? It has spring hangers built into it for the 52" springs. I'll sell it cheap.

[bcolman]

i finished the suspension, i moved the axle so far forward that i couldnt put the tires on cause i still need to cut away some of the front fender. now i am going to move on to front tube work and cage work, i just have to source a bender in town that i can use, or a 1.75 die for a jd2. its to dark for pictures to look good so ill take some tomorrow when i get started.
