Looks good, but where are the rear shocks, or mounts for 'em for that matter???:corn:

Nice rig!

How do you like that 4.3? I just picked up a 99 Blazer for the swap.

you might want to do something about our outer link mounts on the frame. with low gearing and traction there is alot of force on the box attached to the frame as it is in the pic (prybar like). long ago when I was a tyota guy I made brackets that grabbed alot more fame tube forward and it tore open like a tuna can without much pressure. the fames are only 1/8" thick and are prone to collapse or tearing without fishplates. just speaking from results I had.

thanks. ya have been wanting to put some shocks on but the money trying to save to buy a house cause i want to run some gas shocks and the frame mounts worry me a little but i do have some long gussets on them after they where welded i wished that i would have plated the frame lots of things learned trough the proses next time and the 4.3 is cool but wish i would have stayed with the 22r and just added the propane cause i want to run bigger tiers but with my heavy foot i would probably bust my ring & pinion and it was a expensive swap
