i do have this one. laid a fender on with 2 bolts, then laid the hood on top just to see how the drop would look up front. the pic is with the OEM uppers and it dropped some more with the new uppers. the oem bushings were overtorqued and in a bind. it settled good with the uppers. just wish i had the front wheels on the truck for this picture.

maybe one day i will have both the fenders and the bed on. starting to look like a truck again! cant mount the tire because the it's stuffed into the frame. should sit perfect with the wider 8.8. spacers will work until then. the rear end should drop some more after the 16 gallon fuel cell, battery relocation and rear bumper. also the spring sliders will drop it another 1/2" or so. i want to throw the front fenders on but i have a ton of cleaning to do on the garage now that i have it back.

Nice dime, this thread makes me miss my 350 .40 over 84 s10 blazer.
I like the updated front end, I always hated the sealed beams on the 2nd gen. S10s
Maybe after I finish my current project ill find another first gen blaze.
I have a question for you tho, who's your tranny guy?
I need my tranny built and don't know/trust any trans shops locally. Im close enough to Houston to make a quick drive up there.
Pm me with some info if you don't mind.
last weekend i sat down for a few hours with the wiring harness and started depinning 1 wire at a time. damn i hate wiring! anyways EVERYTHING works and there are no loose un-needed wires. just need to loom it all up. last night i finished up painting the front bumper, grill and modifying the factory headlight harness to work with the 98+ setup. all of this satin black up front makes me want to paint the entire truck satin.hot dang its together lol!! seen a dime at evadale just like it
hopefully time is on my side this weeknd and i can get the fuel system installed and hear it idle. i'm also giving tint a shot this weekend for the first time. i got some 3m 5% precut tint off of ebay. hopefully i dont F up a $90 kit lol. rear end still needs to be cut/rebuilt, a new driveshaft needs to be made and the ass end needs to come down another 2". currently it sits dead level hub to hub, but the rear tires are 2" taller than the fronts and it looks jacked up in the ass end. we will see where it sits after the fuel cell, rear bumper 8" rear with slightly taller perches and the spring sliders.
