PICS:

That's the same shifter I have. I changed out the handle for one I modified to work better w/ the bench I put in the blazer.. which looks like you've got the same bench seat I do. I'd still like to see more about the 4 speed install. Personally, I'd use the ford 8.8 rear from an Exploder.. it's what I did but it was mainly because I'm putting a BBC in place of the SBC I had in there before so.. maybe I'm biased, but the 8.8 will handle ANYTHING you throw at it (unless it's over 600hp.. that's the rears' rating stock/unmodified). Hope to see more of this project.

BTW, I've got Coated Sanderson headers for your application w/ 1-3/4" primaries & 3" collectors. If you're interested I'll send along a, new chrome, set of reducers.. they're 3" down to 2-1/2". Check out my parts thread.. they're way cheaper than if you got them new.

ya with the seat back all the way the shifter just touches the seat in second gear. havnt had a problem with that tho. ill take a look at your parts.

i just remebered something. when i go over a bump at 35+ mph the back end seams to slide out, sideways. i checked and im pritty shore one of the leaf springs is bent err warped err whatever.

origional post edited

I had the same handle & removed it to put in the one that bends around the seat. It's a little longer on throw but positions my knob right in my hand... right where I want it.

Nice! 1st gen FTW!

came home from work today and decided to go for a drive for the hell of it. ruuuuuuuuuum ruuuuuum ruuum rum... rum... rum... X_X. bateries dead. long story short either the baterie cant hold a charge anymore or my alternaters dead. im leanin tward the alternater.

still need to update pics, when i eventually get it runnin again ill find a nice place to shoot pics. maybe go down to the hamptons and piss of some millionairs :p

battery cables were loose, i feel like suck an idiot  . on the good side i might be getting a racing gocart w/ a ford gt body to work on till the winter comes. then i put my truck away to work on.

Speaking of Ford GT's,guy down the street has a gt40 kit car for sale,supposed to sit on a Fiero chassis.transplant 4.3?

battery cables were loose, i feel like suck an idiot  .

LOL. Beats buying a new battery or alternator though.

What he said!I would rather feel stupid for a little while than dropping money to change parts that there is nothing wrong with,AND no skinned up knuckles!

yah i know, but it was such a simple thing ya know. anyway i want to get the body kit off my truck and a blazer rear bumper fitted as well as fill that seam at the back of the roof but my parents are doing the whole were not saying no but were not saying yes shit. so who knows when ill get to do ANY mods at all.

updating 1st post, still no pics sorry 

Just rip the kit off and tell them you think it was stolen...lol Then tell them you need a bumper and since the paint is screwed from the kit getting stolen you might as well fix some stuff. Oh, say the roof must have been replaced and the seam was done wrong.

lol, i could smash the rocker peices with a hammer and say it bottomed out on a bump 

I used to ask myself if the trouble I was about to get myself into was worth the satisfaction I was going to get out of doing what ever it was I had planned,usually I did it anyhow,and yes,sometimes I was VERY WRONG!Patience,if they wont let you do the mods,well, that gives you plenty of time to plan them and be prepared to do them,AND have plenty of time to save a little cash and build up a stash of parts!

The voice of reason. Stop doing that Ricky...lol

The voice of reason. Stop doing that Ricky...lol

Yes I know,I don't have room for him if the folks kick 'em out,do you?Prolly can't afford to feed 'em either,Sooooo he has to stay home!lol

I still want to see some under truck shots of the trans.

i keep making plans to take new pics, but shit keeps coming up. i really have no idea when ill have pics.

just got this months issue of chevy high performance (readers ride issue), and im in it  .
