Cheaper? Not in my case. I'm $0 in and have all of the parts and frame already. The only expense will be a bit of time to sand blast the frame and some paint. This isn't my first trip to the frame swap park. My truck is getting a body lift to fit the V8 in more comfortably... I have everything I nee...

You should already have longer CV axles on the ZR-2 frame already. I don't have longer CVs yet as I'm still on the stock CC frame, so still short CVs. I've contemplated the SAS for a long time. Haven't the cash for it yet. That'll most likely be for my Franken-Z mini truck that I'm building. I don'...

I would not do the zr2 frame swap since the front suspension seems to always end up rotting out and tearing the frame apart. Unless you have done some stuff to beef it up and protect it maybe. I plan on beefing it up as much as I can. I haven't started to strip and prep the frame yet, so I'm still ...

So far I'm into the transmission swap for roughly $425 - $450. I did all the work myself following a How-to thread in the S-10 forum. Can send the link if you like and I'd be happy to help with any questions you might have if you do want to do the swap. I'm getting ready to do a V8 swap as well and ...

I did all the work myself. Maybe 8-10 hours?? Found a How-to thread in the S-10 forum that was super easy to follow. I'm currently finding some computers from a 5-speed ZR2 tho so that the electrical is happier and my 31" tires agree better with my speedometer. It was a fun project. Would have been ...

Today...I drove my 2002 CC out of the shop, as a 5-speed. I've been wanting a 5-speed truck for a while now and got super lucky finding an NV3500 transmission out of a ZR2 Blazer write-off, and it only has 26,000 original kms on it. Price tag for the trans, clutch, flywheel, master cylinder and hydr...

No...I was trying to line up my ducks to get them but they sold or were crushed... Sorry!

The passenger side is missing the back third completely. Drivers side is all there. I MAY have a guy up here about can make a mould of these and adapt it to fit our trucks. Not holding my breath really long but I may need this one rear flare for a bit to send it to this guy.

I'm parting out a 2001 ZR2 Blazer roll-over. Has the following that may be of interest to this forum. I can possibly arrange a meet up along the I15 from MT into the UT valley for larger/unshipable parts. It has 212,000 km on it and appears to have been well maintained mechanically. - auto darkening...

Another picture.

Here's a picture of the crashed CC. The decals are DISGUSTING but they should come off with a bit of work. The truck will need a paint job anyhow as it will be extremely difficult to find paint-matched hood, fender and grille. The owner does have a blazer right behind that truck with a good hood, fe...

Thanks all for the input and ideas!! SFA is a distant goal on a horizon that I can't yet see but it's where I ultimately would like to take the Crew. I'll just have to suck it up for a while. I really appreciate all the input though.

If you don't want to go through the trouble of shopping wrecking yards, I picked up a second Consold Trip computer. Would be happy to sell it to you for the $40 I paid at PnP. Computer, display screen cover with Mode button. The downside is I only have about 6" of the harness going into the back of ...

One is a front end crashed CC but the guy has a blazer sitting there with all the needed parts. Thinking of getting it myself to fix and sell. Only wants like $1300 or $1500 I think. The other has a bit of work done. 2" BL, roll bars, 31" tires, CAI. Says he wants $2700ish for that one. Just thought...

If anyone is looking to get I to a CC or pick up a second Crew, send me an email. There's a guy close by me with 2 for really cheap.

Tow/Haul is next on the agenda. I have the button and BCM in the shop, tho in my rush at the salvage yard 2 hours away i failed to get a picture of the RPO codes to compare options against my truck...so im a bit hesitant right now unless i can get back up to Calgary to get that picture. Doesn't look...

Just completed this install today. At Pick Pull I pulled the entire ceiling harness right down to the plug behind the fuse block on the drivers side. I also pulled the HomeLink and auto darkening rear view mirror. Out of curiosity and before doing a bunch of unnecessary work, I unscrewed the fuse bl...

Just chiming in on where things are at with your console computer ApproachMedium?? I have picked up a computer (actually 2 so one will be for sale if anyone wants it for $30 plus shipping) but I only have one complete harness and about 6" of the other harness which is basically just the plug into th...

So all I get is some deflections to other lift options? No words of advice or encouragement? I mean, I'm all for splicing in the front of a Z frame and I might just have another one coming my way via a rolled over BlaZ that I hope to pick up and part out soon. But that kind of endeavor is beyond my ...

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm not at all equipped to pop the cab off and pull the engine to do that. Otherwise I would consider it first.

MlePatron

It's not necessarily that I'm avoiding the 2"BL as much as its me avoiding the $$ attached to it. And, I'm super curious about this project. I have all the parts that I can think of that are wider/longer from the Z steering and suspension. I've had some long discussions with my brother who has been ...

Just double checked the diagrams I found, they show frame rail widths to be identical. Here:

Yeah I know that guys have just used the ZR2 chassis. I've seen a few of them around online. Sweet trucks! I don't have quite enough of the Z Frame to join under the cab, that's far more work than I care to do. I'm interested in just swapping mounts. I'll keep measuring and eyeballing for a long tim...

So...this is an adventure I've been dreaming up for a while now. I have the front 4' of a ZR2 pickup frame that I parted out last year. What I REALLY want to know is if anyone out there has tried swapping/welding in the front cross member and lower CA mounts from a ZR2 into a CC???? I've been giving...

Thanks HJ. If there's anyone on here to trust on a pioneer mod like this its you. Tho I haven't said much on this forum I've probably read half of what's in here. Hours and hours of what to do and how to fix the Crew. Fender flares are by FAR the mod that's been eating me up more than anything else....

I'm still really in deep want of fender flares for my CC and since you mentioned the possibility of the '97 F150 flares, hardly a one goes by without me eyeballing the fender bulge compared to mine. I really need to park next to one for a bit and take a few measurements to see for sure if they can b...

Oh yes it will. I'm on the prowl for a set of used MTs to try out and take me more places I shouldn't go. Next in line to that is a Synergy hidden winch. Should be fun!

Here is a before picture...not ideal but it's before I lifted the front. I had a pretty solid rake of 2-3" before the RC. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WEsI7PsYk8U/UTOPEG6Ze2I/AAAAAAAABew/Ckc_-UrSo4M/w503-h377-o-k/IMG_2386.jpg Here is after. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jKoC-y5t3P4/UTOPpy...

I just finished my RC kit yesterday on my CC and would second following Blaz's instructions. ESPECIALLY removing the steering link. I honestly don't think the diff will come out without doing that. It took me 1.5 hours to get it out once I got to that point and 1.5 minutes to put it back in. has to ...

Bushwacker flares for a 1997 Ford F150. I have seen them used as cut-out-flares on other vehicles Just the 2" bushwacker extend-a-flare? Part #020034-11 at Summit Racing? The $ isn't too bad on those if they're the right ones. I'll be on the lookout for some at the wreckers though as I'd rather be ...

Thanks all. I'll check into the bushwackers a bit more if they are the only option left... -grumble- but I would really like to be able to open those wheel wells wider. If a guy was brave and REALLY good with a heat gun (and if money were no object...which it is still), do you think a creative guy c...

MlePatron

From the hours of reading and reaserch, I figured as much bit I thought it was worh a try to ask. Maybe a set will appear out of nowhere. I have looked into the Bushwacker flares, but I'm not 100% positive which ones to run with. Just adapt any fleet side set onto my CC? Is there fender trimming inv...

Looking for a set of Skidz fender flares in the unlikely event that there are any still floating around out there.
