I would have to move it a lot. Trimming will be needed no matter what.

Had to grind the calipers a little more. Must be some differences in the rims I used to have to these ones. But it was minor compared to what I did last time.

Next is to trim the front of the rear fenders and the front of the front fenders.

Rear fenders trimmed up.

four_by_ken · April 15, 2012, 01:04:49 AM

Well... had to play a little bit. Was still pretty stable. Rear tire was starting to go up the ramp.

cool! im wondering which one is gonna be more fun the blazer or this.

Built for two differant purposes.

Blazer = Mud

K10? = Everything else

For the amount of money in this thing... I am thinking it will be a better bang for the buck.

Actually I have a 468 from my old old tow rig. But, it hasn't been touched in any way in like 10 years.

Now yer talkin!

Stopped the coolant leak. Brakes are a 1.5 pumper now instead of a 2 pumper.

Just need to add breather lines, a little trans fluid, put in fuel filter and a new air cleaner.

Will be good to go for the Mounds on Memorial Day!

Did some testing for a good 15-20 minutes in the ditch tonight. Nothing broke and it didnt over heat... and didnt seem to stumble.

Oh How Nice!

four_by_ken · May 27, 2012, 02:14:05 PM

Still needs some tweaking here and there, but I think it is Mounds ready.

Still have a problem with filling the trans fluid. Pukes out.. not sure just where though. From what I can see... it looks like mid way up the fill tube. Which makes no sense to me.

Blew a braided brake line yesterday... but replaced it with a rubber one for now.

Fluids are all topped off... greased up. Just need fuel now.
