New guy from MN
« on: April 15, 2011, 04:51:01 PM »
My names Dale I am from central MN.  I have a lowered 73 C-10 kinda rusty but its a blast to drive I also have a 84 Blazer thats lifted and rusty it has around a 6 inch lift with 38's strickly for the mud.  I have a few project that I am starting on i ahave an 88 Burb that someone hacked a 10 bolt front axle in and converted it to a 4x4.  Sat in someones grove for 7 years and the mice completely destroyed the interior before they parked it they rebuilt the motor and painted it its got a few dents and scratches in it but its from Texas so its nice compared to the rust belt stuff around here, any ways I am swapping it back to a 2 wheel drive and putting in a different interior.  Also I had a friend who had to clean up his place and had a short box 4x4 frame that has been blasted and painted with 4.10 gears in a 44/12 bolt combo.  As of now it is sitting with a cab waiting to have rockers welded on it.  Glad to find a site that is all about my favorite Chevy generation.

Someone did a poor job at mounting the front axle in it. Half the bolts are loose they didnt put the hump in it so the t case hits and some other stuff nothing hard to fix just would rather have a 2 wheel drive burb since my family of 6 out grew my 73 c10 and my 69 Beetle
