Next I took off the heavy stock blazer tailgate and swapped it with a 1978 truck tailgate I found at the junkyard already primed! This swap is a good weight reduction and will work well with the softtop. It was a direct bolt on 30 minute job:)

For the front springs of my m1009 I choose to run with a set of stock m1008 56" 1 ton rear springs. I modified them by taking out the overloads and 2 leafs. Went to the carwash and cleaned them up. Then primed and painted.

Purchased stock m1009 chevy blazer 1984 6.2L diesel v8 3.08 axle ratios 1/2 tons New Boyce Equipment Dana 60 front with 4.56 gears ARB air locker installed. Rebuilt Boyce Equipment Custom Corp 14 bolt full floater rear with 4.56 gears ARB air locker installed
