5.3 swap getting started...

Suspension work is getting done in the first couple of pics. It's sitting with a 99 blazer 4wd 3.42 open disc brake rear end, 3" blocks, blistein shocks, lakewood traction bars, belltech drop spindles and all new drag link, ball joints, ect. Getting closer and should have the motor running in a couple weeks. Should be a turd.

Nah it's just needing dave to be at the shop too so I can lift that crap off of it. lol. I'll see if jerry can find his info and I'll hit up shore tire too. If you can't get what you want I'll try to find a set.
