I think NBS is 99-06 & 07 Classic, NNBS is 07+, OBS is 88-98 and the Square Bodies are 73-87

bmxbang · 07-23-2009, 11:41 AM

why isn't NBS always the newest body style... thats kind of retarded if you ask me...

Grohe · 07-23-2009, 12:21 PM

How thick of steel are you using, and what grade?

Because forums became popular during the NBS era (99-06). When the newer body styles came around, they didn't want to switch. For example, if you have a thread named "I just lowered my nbs", everyone knows that it is a 99-06 truck.

The proper way to name them is actually:
99-06: GMT-800
07 newer: GMT-900

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-23-2009, 01:44 PM

its 1/8" hot rolled carbon steel.

diamondbackjo · 07-23-2009, 06:28 PM

have you seen that truck in league city running around it's the same body style as yours, crew cab but it's black, it's dropped low as hell on stockers with like 5% all the way around. there's a sticker on the back window that i think says "game over customs"

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-23-2009, 07:27 PM

sure its a crew cab? ive seen a black ext. cab.. have not seen it in a while.. last i saw IIRC he was pulled over in friendswood getting searched hardcore. gave him a dui test or whatever.. had to walk a line. lmao.

diamondbackjo · 07-23-2009, 07:41 PM

yeah i'm postive it's a crew cab i tried to take a picture with my phone to post on here when i passed it but it was too blury

bubbagt57 · 07-23-2009, 08:00 PM

wow you would re blazer this thing
the lift then the drop and tint and horns and documenting everything lol

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-24-2009, 08:24 PM

guess ill put my helper bag install in here too..

doing it different from how i see most the helper bag kits... i don't necessarily see this as being any better as both ways accomplish the same thing, this is just my way of wanting to do it.

upper bracket/f9000

upperbracket/f9000 held up to frame

lower bracket sitting on factory spring perch.. i will have two 3/8 bolts going through the bracket/spring perch to hold it in place

with bag..

mocked up off truck

lower bracket showing my how im doing it.. the two 3/8" bolt holes to hold it in place(bolts will be welded in place as i wont be able to reach them when lower bracket all welded up, and an oversized hole that i can fit a 9/16 socket on to access lower bolt.

upper and lower bracket mocked up on truck. semi close to tire, but i dont see it being a problem.

\

and as long as my measurements are right, i will have 1/2" travel left in bag when truck is sitting on bump stops.. which i have never hit a bump hard enough that will make the truck bottom out.

V8Blaze · 07-24-2009, 08:28 PM

looks good, you should send me those bags though lol

90blueS10 · 07-24-2009, 08:30 PM

clean install

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 07:34 AM

crappy welds.. old welder started ****ing up..

had to buy a new welder also..

90blueS10 · 07-27-2009, 07:39 AM

Question for you,

Why the square tubing under the notch?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 08:13 AM

thats how the kit comes.. without it, my frame would only be like 1" tall right there.

90blueS10 · 07-27-2009, 08:20 AM

Oh okay, thanks.

Bag install looks good. When do you get to test it out?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 08:25 AM

depending on how my back feels after work, im gonna try and run the wiring and 1/8" gauge line inside the truck, and my dads gonna help me bend the hard line up for it.. hard line owns me lmao.

90blueS10 · 07-27-2009, 08:27 AM

what kinda line are you using? ive seen copper a few times before on here.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 11:38 AM

Stainless hardline and swagelok fittings

V8Blaze · 07-27-2009, 04:47 PM

looks great. those new lincolns looks fancy. I sure do wish mine was a 220

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 05:04 PM

Yeah I love it so far. I wanna do more welding now lmao.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 10:34 PM

diamondbackjo · 07-27-2009, 11:13 PM

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-27-2009, 11:26 PM

bza · 07-27-2009, 11:42 PM

dont worry man this will be better

diamondbackjo · 07-27-2009, 11:46 PM

don't get me wrong.
i'm really liking this fullsize.
but the blazer, man. the color the wheels and the stance....

Grohe · 07-28-2009, 10:00 AM

You running drop shocks? If not, pm me.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-28-2009, 08:45 PM

i bought Gabriel heavy duty shocks.. not for silverados.. dunno what they are for. i searched part numbers for the length i wanted

dinner break..

old setup.. got all excited came home on lunch to put bed on so i dont look gay riding around..

then bam.. epic fail..

round 2!

i dont see why this wont work???

**primerdnoma** · 07-28-2009, 08:59 PM

What happened?

Alex33 · 07-28-2009, 09:00 PM

I see you had to relocate the mounts, but where did the system fail?

***orangesonoma*** · 07-28-2009, 09:28 PM

what is that large copper fitting thing you have inline with the valves??

i like the hard line

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-28-2009, 10:05 PM

where the mounts were, it was fine with no bed.. but with bed on fittings/line hit floor and i wasnt gona cut holes in floor for them..

brian.. its a check valve.. a big ugly check valve from a hardware store. i aired the back up, measured it, drained the tank, came out next morning and it didnt budge one bit..

done.. again.. hoping to have bed back on tomorrow. i hate no bed. looks so ****ing gay.

Grohe · 07-28-2009, 10:43 PM

No beds are awesome, all the cool kids are doing it. Sucks about having to re-locate the mounts, but should be well worth it in the end. Why no muffler?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-28-2009, 10:51 PM

i have a muffler.. its a flowsound.. knock off flowmaster.. its even kinda welded on crooked

Dvst8r · 07-28-2009, 11:00 PM

looking better.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-29-2009, 11:56 AM

Thanks. Bed goes on in about an hour!! Wooo

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 07-29-2009, 01:46 PM

Yessss. Bed is on

Driveway Kustoms · 07-29-2009, 03:21 PM

Woody22 · 07-29-2009, 04:43 PM
