I am so looking forward to another build thread.
I am going to look at a 88 blazer tomorrow as a donor.
Getting it for a good price for what it is
Ive seen hot rods and trikes made from them
One of the Trikes I have seen that I like the best is made from a S10 (same engine, trany, rear and frame)
I just got home with it.Is it 2 or 4 wheel drive?
Transmission could be changed to 2 wheel drive but likely adds cost, labor, & some amount of custom fabrication to the equation.
It sounds like you're prepared for that and I'm not trying to discourage you on this, but here's my "2 cents" for what its worth & if not too late: finding a 2x4 S10 donor rig might be a better start?
The 2wd rear diff is narrower than the 4wd diff.
A 4.3 would make a strong trike.
well Fowler.......good to see a project under way! remembering killing mice during disassembly of the datona!! lucky they hadn't damaged the wiring much...car had sat not running for 11yrs. it appears that you are starting with a live one! but whats with the dead on the welding table?? larry
I thought it was kind of fun getting to "look in" to your shop and see the beginnings of a dog on the table, and a punching bag hanging in the foreground. I reckon that's for when a project gets frustrating?
I need to get me a punching bad to calm me down a little bit, and to get a good workout. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun--especially the Beer and Boxing. Of course the bag would end up hitting me back if I had too many beers. :laugh:My shop (2 car garage) is cluttered with stuff. I try to keep it clean but there's only so much room.
I love my bunching bags. Almost every time I go into the shop I hit on it for a few minutes http://www.triketalk.com/forum/threads/33920-Moai?highlight=moai
My son and I work out on it for at least a hour every Monday Wednesday and Friday. On Fridays when I am not on call I do Beer and Boxing with it
fowler...good luck on the dog and trike! diver..do you mean that the trans and diff are mountedridgedly together??
