| '75 Blazer This is our latest addition to our ever growing car collection. It's a 1975 Chevy Blazer full convertible. We acquired this wonderful truck in July 1999 for $5000. The truck already had the lift, tires and nice new motor in it but was all half ton. We bought a 1 ton rolling chassis that was complete from the frame down to help finish the truck. We put on a heavy duty steel bumper to house the winch and a steel rear bumper too. The 4 speed and np205 was taken out and replaced with a T400 and NP205. We also added a hydrovac brake system but in the process of fabricating the crossover steering have learned that we have to switch it back to a normal brake system. **Update** We took it to Santiam Mtn Mud Madness and wasted the 454 with only 500 miles on it. From what we can figure the oil pick up tupe dropped out and the crank picked it up and put it into the #7 piston and froze that piston up and eventually it broke through into the water jacket. Thankfully we have a spare 454 4 bolt block we are going to get together and be out wheeling before summer hits. Well I finally got our awful pictures of our motor on here, to check them out *click here!* We got a temporary motor in the big bitch and it ain't a 454 but its still a big block. We put in what was supposed to be the suburbans motor to test it out and to wheel for the summer. **Update** The big girl was traded for a 70 Camaro. To see the pictures in full size please click on them. |

| Testing the big bitch out on some logs conviently layed near the end of our driveway. The logs are approx. 30" across. On the pics where it is at an angle the passenger side rear tire was about 6" off of the ground and it was rocking. |
| Sweet Home, Or after we wasted the motor :o( |

| <<Taken July 1st at our second run with it. The bitch did awesome and we had a blast!! |
| Well we did the unthinkable, we lowered the big girl down to make her street legal. Give us time and I just know she will be jacked up sky high again (knowing Jeff). I redid the specs to show before and after. |
