      Of course you guys would say go for it - your brainwaves are stuck in the twisties :rolleyes5 Just kidding, the more I think about it, the more I like it. It's just so easy - if I can stick to the mild, simple theme - which is a monumental task for me.

      I have a set of C5 rotors which would go nice with 4th-gen F-body calipers. 4wd Blazers have hubs (interchangeable with C4 Vette) up front so all that should be needed is some custom brackets on each corner. I would probably go with really wide 17's and sport truck performance radials (to get the overall height needed to match the body). A very simple, but effective, approach. The only drawback is I would have a lot of negative offset (wheels). I want to just accept that as a fact of life with the truck, because correcting it makes me think about longer control arms, improved geometry, etc. Once you make that step things tend to spiral out of control - at least in my world.

      Right now, I can't wait to see what it feels like on the street. On the G-body chassis, it felt really unique on the street. Kind of like an oversized kid's toy. Should have it moving under its own power next week.

      I could not help but...... when I saw this pic. Reminds me of how I pulled the majority of the engines before I got my garage. For some reason the ladder next to it just got me lauging.

      Hey Todd! Get that thing a few more feet off the ground and you'd have yourself a decent deer blind...
