Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I had a hard time letting it go . But like my wife says you can't drive 'm all at the same time.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I had not quite gotten attached to this one yet.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Well did you ever drive it Mike?
And when did you paint the 35?

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I did NOT get to drive it :(. I replaced the fuel pump added fresh fuel and changed the accelerator pump in the Holley carb ,got it running but needed to rebuild the carb 'cause it was poring fuel all over the place . The new owner said he would deal with that. I did clean it out and recovered the seat after replacing a few (11) broken springs and repairing 1. ...And as for painting the '35, if you're talking about the logo on the door . That is added in the paint program on my computer. Not really there.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

The new owner did stop by the store with it . He said I could drive it anytime. He is enjoying it .

Looks good! I would like to have an older pickup some day. A guy not too far from me has a Model A I might try to buy.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I'm glad they finally stopped at your house. Looks great. They do a lot for it. It all comes together now. I too would like to own a '30s/'40s truck (or two) before I'm done

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I started a new project http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=822994 and have sold my '67 stepside of 24 years.:uhmk:

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

nice collection!

also, we visited breckenridge back in december with a few friends. colorado is a beautiful state! tried to make it up to royal gorge but the tours were all booked

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Thanks Kev.

Breckinridge is nice in the fall too. We went through in September a few years back on the way to Frisco and Silverthorne.

I don't remember the last time I went to the Royal Gorge and it's less than 20 miles from my house.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I did visit Mesa Verde on Wednesday.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Put new tires on the Blazer Today 31-10.50-15 General Grabber AT.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I remember back in the middle 80s as a milk/ice cream delivery guy, I made a rather large Sureway grocery in Princeton Ky every Wednesday morning. The Asst. Mgr. of the store alternated driving a beautiful K5 almost exactly like yours and a super nice 69-70 swb. I always thought the Blazer was the one and I pulled in one AM and there was a "for sale" sign in it. Jumped out and ran over there. Of course I was 20 something, broke, young family and there was no way I could reach it. You know how those memories fester through the years. I love your K5.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Welcome to the board! Stick around a while :cool:
I went once and it was the pitfall of a wonderful vacation. last thing we did before heading to the airport, too. Wished we had skipped it. Not saying it's a horrible place, but after all the natural splendor and smaller more meaningful encounters with great people it was pure hell to end all that with landing on a tourist trap. We walked on the bridge, took pictures with giant cartoon figures then hi-tailed it to Canon City to a great Mexican restaurant we knew about... Taco Bell? JK! I forget which one but it was good!
Now that's more my style. On our western trip in the '71 camper truck we went up there on our way to 4-corners and the North Rim. Mesa Verde is no short hike for you.
Love that new tire smell. Nice tires
Yep!

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Thanks I think I will. ;)
I call it the bridge to nowhere. My kids take the grandkids up there every year at Halloween for "Boo on the Bridge" Costume contest. And depending on how long ago it has been things have changed alot since the fire in 2013. The favorite restaurant we always went to was The Chile Wagon but it's gone and now we go to Old Mission but there are quite a few and other than TB we'll eat at any of them.

We didn't plan long enough in the park at Mesa Verde. They give you a week long pass and we had one day.

MMMMMMM. :lol: Thanks.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

That's what I told Kev2809 in the first part of August. Then in Dec We went for the inaugural "Bridge of Lights" Holiday light display.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I bought a blanket in New Mexico last week that looks good on the back seat of my Blaze.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

damn that looks nice!

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Thank you sir.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Haven't done much lately . I did order a blue dash pad tonight but it's backordered until October.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

My Daughter and Granddaughters attended the Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals with me on Friday. I drove my Blazer and she took the '72 C10 I gave her 17 years ago for graduation from high school. Saturday I rode down with her while the girls stayed home with my Wife. Sunday my Wife and I took the Blazer back down. It is about 100mile round trip everyday so I was ready for a day of rest on Monday.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Congratulations man you really know how to live the Chevy life ! Wonderful looking vehicles but even better looking family ! My grandfather spent 37 years at GM, he would have enjoyed spending a day or two with you…happy 4th early..Jack

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Thank you sir. I just retired from selling Auto Parts for 45 years including 5 years at the Local Chevy, Olds, and Cad dealer. I'm sure he and I would have had alot to talk about. Happy 4th to you as well. :chevy:

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Saturday we visited with the guy that owned the '37 Chevy coupe parked next to my daughters truck a couple different times. And then again on Sunday. He was very interesting. He comes to the US from Australia a couple times a year for a few months at a time. He keeps his '37 in California...We never got a chance to talk to who ever owned the '69 or '70 Stepside parked next to her, they came and went while we were out walking the fairgrounds.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

There were some boys driving these remote controlled trucks around on Friday. I got a picture of the Blazer next to mine.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

We spent the last couple of weeks getting ready for some local shows. My Daughter now knows how to use a polisher to compound and how to hand wax her truck . I have done both my Suburban and my Blazer.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

Saturday was a good show and a nice drive home.

Re: finally stop to say hello.
 

I compounded and waxed the paint and the used boiled linseed oil and acetone mix to wipe down the hood and weathered sections of my Blazer prior to last weekends Car Show. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the results.
