:cool:

I wasn't able to get last weeks list 100% completed before today because I unexpectedly had to assist some friends w/their move (my GF volunteered our services) yesterday & I worked this morning. I went ahead & made next weeks list:

Weld the 'new' inlet nipple to the blazer gas tank (up-sized from 1.25" to 2"OD)
Mock-up the fuel fill piping to the bed floor
Finish weld the shock c.member
Start the rear bumper bracket 'tweaks'

Very clean looking truck Tony. I never payed attention to the black area behind the grille. Were all the tutone trucks done that way?

Per the Chevrolet Truck Encyclopedia, all the '60-'66 Chevy trucks were done this way, including the single-tone and two-truck paint schemes. There may be some exceptions, but that is the way they were originally done.

Two obvious tale-tell signs of a repaint, are this area not having the black backdrop with the off-white accent ring or the firewall being any color besides the body color.

I rebuilt the receiver hitch. The one that was on it when I bought the truk was made of 2" square tubing (OD) and the hole was the same size as the hitch so it wouldn't work with "off the shelf" hitches.
