Drove it. That's a rare occurrence. I took a solid maple chest of drawers to "our" storage locker (which I really hate- it's stupid money spent, but we have no space. Truth to tell, that stuff could have been donated or put in the dump, and "we'd" be money ahead. But it isn't my stuff, and it's not my money.)

Got my Blazer Courtesy Lights installed. I also took a road trip to Houston to pick up a Slider that I found on Craigslist for $150 bucks. From some forum searching it seems if the latch says "PRESTIGE" then its a factory/OEM Slider.
I have it all cleaned up, seal mounted and roped up. Next is cutting out a perfectly good sealed window and putting this guy in... https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...1&d=1641600744 |

I can see from the picture the Blazer lighting adds a modern warm look o truck. Nice Job.

I know I post too much on this thread, but I can't help but share these photos. I stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning last night cleaning this '67 bellhousing so I could paint it with 2-part spray paint from Eastwood that I had left over from painting my engine. It was going to go bad unless I used it, and I didn't want to waste it.

Finally got the adapter for the new steering wheel after installing a new Flaming River tilt column. I'm loving how it feels. Then I removed 2 leaf springs from each side as God only knows when the backordered lowering springs will arrive. That dropped the rear about 3 inches. I think it's pretty close to where it should end up when the new springs get here. Maybe about an inch high right now. Yesterday was the first time I drove her over speed bumps since the lowering. I was nervous as my exhaust sits below the frame, but she glided right over :) Column and before and after lowering pics below.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I couldn't take not having my back window in anymore and waiting for various friends schedules to help me try and install my Houston Craigslist's (1984 era) factory like aluminum Sliding Window. So I paid a "come to your house" vehicle window installer. It must have been the easiest money they ever earned, as I had the full window already out and the gasket/SS Trim pre-installed on the slider window frame.
They were very nice local Kyle guys and they wanted to talk about my truck (a lot). They said they more often than not have to deal with rusty trucks and mine was a breeze! So overall, I feel good about supporting a local business. I still paid less than buying a new slider (the black pre-tinted ones) and that is with me driving to Houston and back. Edit: Added bonus - the tint that is on the Slider pretty much matches the new tint on my doors that I had put on late last year. It needs to be replaced but I don't need to do that any time soon! https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...1&d=1642192179 |
