Got the passenger door and fender painted today . I have them in the cargo trailer with an electric heater . I like to keep the fresh paint warm for at least 8 hours . Didn’t think about taking pictures.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I've been sick and my 2 old trucks have been neglected in the shop for a year+. The battery in the Blazer wouldn't hold a charge so I jumped it drove it down to O'Reilly's. I got a good deal on a Delco battery & a nice young lady installed it for me. I took the long way home and had fun blasting the Blazer around. BIG FUN till I got home and bumped a pole in my shop & broke the passenger side sport mirror... just old n' stupid I guess. Eckler's BIG warehouse is in Titusville so I bought a pr. of repro mirrors. Don't know how they'll hold up but they're pretty nicely turned out. Luckily the old screws came out & the doubler fell inside the door. I took the door panel off & lubricated the window & door mechinisms. My wife held the new doubler inside the door while I started the screws... I think the screws that came with the new mirrors are made out of lead and are flat head and look like crap. Even after putting a dab of grease on the sheet metal screws and CAREFULLY installing them the phillips part of the screws rounded off. The old oval head screws cleaned up nicely & screwed in smoothly. I wish the rest of the Blazer was detailed as nicely as the passenger door.

Built up new exhaust to put the muffler under the bed and exit in front of differential. I am no professional welder but I manage to stick metal together. Much better on the sound and the old exhaust exited short and you got a whiff of fumes occasionally. Now you can actually hear the radio.

I bet it sounds pretty good with a single exhaust and shorty pack and turn down. I did that with my old 56 ford truck. Made that Y block sound way bigger than it was. ;)

Oh yeah, the misses. If you hadn't said it, she would I bet. :lol:
My wife and I took a 2000 GMC I had just bought on a trip down to Texas Motor Speedway. It had a single blow master or something like that with dual tails. We were both tired of it before we even got there. She almost wouldn't ride in it again after that. I changed it soon after. ;) |

Got the clips for the hoops today . Installed them and the grille emblem not moving to fast took a spill on Sunday working the wood pile . Wet moss on slimy bark is like ice . Nothing broke but my left arm and hand took the brunt of it . Just swelling and a few bruise’s. Glad I didn’t have a saw in my hand I was just moving some rounds with the cant hook .
