Looking to buy this blazer tell me if it looks good? 22's 24's sfbd

[timtp2004]

Hey guys im looking to buy this blazer how you think it looks? 22's up front and 24's in the rear and its sfbd. And of course its not all finished up.

[Dvst8r]

i like it. I say buy it but i don't really like buying stuff that someone else built. I think of it like buying something blind.

[thenephilm]

im not a fan of those bag mounts by any means..

[layinlow88]

so its a stock floor and a traditional?

[toddluck]

that rear set up doest look square

[blue 01]

what !!!! nobody commented on the 50/50 link setup !!!!!!!!! LoL , like iv'e said before , i got one (50/50 set-up) my gives me no problems , just limits a little on lift . btw , it's not a stock floor body drop , that's a traditional bodydrop , on a stock floor body drop , you leave the floor stock !!!!!!! .............

[sadexcuse4s10]

that's not a 50/50 setup holmes.

it's a forward 4 link with 2 rear lift bars. And that upper rear bag crossmember looks weak as ****.

[joedoh]

unless its really cheap it looks like you are just relieving his headache and giving yourself your own. Unfinished work is worth about 75% the sum of parts, so add up what a motor, trans, interior, wheels, doors, front clip, and bag kit cost and multiply it by 75% and you will be certain not to get porked. The one thing sellers want to do is get the buyer excited about how close it is to driving and being cool and having them then overpay for something that still needs weeks and weeks worth of work.

Just my opinion. I have bought and sold a lot of trucks though, finished and unfinished.


and what was said above, that is not a sfbd, looks every bit of 6 inches traditional. that will cramp you up.

[timtp2004]

Sorry I always thought sfbd was when you used your stock floor, instead of using all new sheet metal. (cool i learned something new ) How would i figure out how much a bd is? and the 22 24 combo plus everything else to get to 75%?

[timtp2004]

whats 50/50? And I saw a dude with this set up getting 18" of lift oput of it.. But idk what this can do...

[01cherryreds10]

I would never buy a truck bagged by someone else. It leaves you with all the shitty tasks and he got to do all the fun stuff. Plus the welds on the notches looks to be all blotched up.

[grillen85]

it looks back halfed to me ..
it also looks like the left forward link bars are further away from the pumpkin then the right , though it could be the picture.

[FCKNLOW]

need more pics...them bagmounts arent toosafe looking...

[Dvst8r]

Need some more detailed pics.

I would but I have never even seen this in person just stole the pics off his myspace. Just wanted to know what everybody thought before I got serious about.

[RacerXS10]

Um... where do ya put the gas?

[BlackEsDime]

unless you're getting the truck for the price of the wheels, i'd pass. the suspension work looks awfully mediocre

[1low91s10]

if you buy promise to redo the rear bag mounts otherwise the 6 link looks to be ok and the trad bodydrop isnt bad but it would of been nice to have angled fillers, not sure if its possible because 2nd gen blazers take a lot to lay rocker

Thats the first thing I would do lol When I first saw it i was like wtf is up with that lol and whats angled fillers? never done a bd before

[AVdime]

the upper bag mount looks weak! But the rest of the truck looks decent. depends on the price and how much would it would be to make it drivable

[herseydestin]

well, i think it looks like a good project to finish...it doesn't look like poop.

if you've never done a BD before, you may be getting in over your head if you buy this heap

[s10sixteynine]

if its cheap and your not trading your daily for it i say go for it even if u dont really know alot it would be something to play with, but like i said, cheap

thats when you put the filler plates for the floor at an angle so that the door panels and stuff will fit without cutting them all to shit

Word. That's not stock floored.

[V8Blaze]

how the body drop is done is the least of your worries, there is only like 2 feet of that welded, since there is no rear floor at all. The bag brackets as stated look funky, but that is easily fixed. THe price is what is most improtant b/c that thing is barely a roller. You can tell they havent even messed with fitting things such as brakes back into it. So it would be my guess the firewall is just gutted like the rear half. If you feel you can do alot of sheetmetal work and fixing some of the frame/4 link stuff, and its cheap, go for it. But there isnt much left to that truck, good luck

[BlackEsDime]

the link setup in the rear doesn't look so good in general, the upper bars don't really look triangulated enough either.

[laydoutjimmy]

I would highly recommend you NOT buyin it.

60% of the floor looks to be "hacked" out. At that point i would just cut the entire floor out and redo it all to make it easier. Also the upper bag brackets look horrorible. I agree with blackesdime unless your getting the truck to part out i would say forget it

the upper bag brackets need to be redone, and i dont think it even has 60% of the floor left in it, theres A LOT cut out.

and whats up with your sig? isnt this kinda like buying something you didnt build

LMAO yea it is but I figured that it needed a lot of work so it wasnt to bad about buying someone else's work. But i think im just gonna get something else so I can say I did all the work.

[BlackEsDime]

here we go with the built not bought thing again. you have clearly admitted you don't know how to do the work... but you want to build something yourself simply so you can say you did? personally i don't care who the hell built it, if its a hack job, its a hack job... and vise-versa if its a nice build, its a nice build. Simply put if you didn't build it, don't claim you did and no body should give a shit. But you need to know when to fold your cards and leave something like that to a professional.

thought so, the upper brackets don't look solid.
