Re: PO has me PO'd
 

It was what I had to do, so I tried it.

No direction's out there that I'm aware of about it but it worked fine.

You say 'feet rear-ward' as in facing towards the engine bay?
Thought that was in the direction's as a mounting 'don't do'...?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Dammit! I hate it when you're rite:lol: OK, mock up phase three

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

If you kids can't get along....I swear I'll pull this care over....and then you'll both be in big trouble!! :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol:Used that one a time or two on family outings, but I had four in the car!

Will probably move the center support to outsides once I start playing with fair lead

I think this tag says something about reading the manual BEFORE attempting to install. Picture sorta looks like a guy reading a book, but it's in a weird language

Directions...we don't need no stinking directions!! :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well. it is official! With the purchase of a '70/'71 front bumper from Mike and Jen Neville (great people to do business with) I have all the years covered on my front end, except '69...'67 grille, and core support,'68 fenders, '70/'71 bumper, '72 chassis. I do have NOS van turn signal lights, which may be '69

Mike has acres and acres of used parts, they're moving 30 miles up the road a piece, so you might get a good deal on parts now since he doesn't want to haul the used stuff with him. He said that there still is alot of good used trucks in that area of the country. God Bless America!
www.nevchev.net also a web site, but have to look it up

Thanks BobbyK, for the idea of mounting driving lights in my bumper, gonna steal it

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

was it pricey for shipping that to you in PA?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Not totally sure yet, the invoice is on my paypal, but Mike told me about 25, WLYK

OK, just checked! 25.00 for shipping

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Dang, Kurt, your right again! '72 outer front bumper brackets won't fit on a '70/'71 bumper!

The bumper is alittle tweaked on the drivers side (right where that blue trapezoid is), so I will have to pull it out when I get the new brackets. Chrome is in excellent shape for 40 yrs old

Also found out that a factory console will fit between utility seats

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Give me an idea of how I find the right ones in my pile and I'll send you a set.

All of em are mixed together, I have no idea what's, what.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'll give you a measurement and a pic., do you want some '72's to replenish the stock?

Thank You for the kind gesture, Breadhead...lol

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Heh heh...gotta do what I can to keep that thread alive. :lol:

Nothing needed in return, just wanna see you finish it before we're old men. :alc:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for lookin', these are 18 1/2", so it seems I would need brackets in the 20-21 inch range, or bigger dunno.

If you happen to come upon a 'L' bracket I could use that as well, bought one, but it has a 90° angle and I need more of a 45°. No big deal ifyou don't have one, GMC Pauls has repop

Thanks for passing it forward

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Go take some better pics, so I can see 'clearly' the shape of them...please.

I have two different sets, one set measures 20"s end to end & the other is 22"s.

Need your snail mail addy too when you get a chance.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

enuff yet? I have more, thanks for your help. I measured on the diagonal and my set 17", then measured bumper to frame bracket on the diagonal and it is 20", CL to CL

Don't scratch that dryer, you'll be in trouble again with the wife!!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thats exactly what I was thinkin'. Got in trouble the other day for that, lol.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

lol
lol
I'm on her good side, just built her a laundry area, the units used to be on two differant floors, plus the new Malibu, plus the new toilet(that in it self is a long and interesting story), plus the new job, and the list goes on. I should be good for 10 years of misbehavin':lol:

I could always blame it on Kurt, since he couldn't see the brackets on the concrete

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

400 miles away and I can still get into trouble there...

Tell me which set is going to work for ya boss & I'll get em shipped out.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well, if you're goin' to get in trouble, this is the best place to do it in...I'll cover your '6':lol:

We're under a Snow Storm Emergency right now, 2', don't think it will be going your way tho

Looks like the short, blue ones will work! Thanks for the help, buddy...stay warm in that new shop of yours, your a lucky man

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I was gonna ask if you are under a few feet of snow... we only got 12" overnight... It's 35 out now so I need to go shovel..

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

The blue ones aree off of my very first blazer, congrats. :lol:

On the way...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looks like it came more our way!!! We haven't hit 35 yet

Honored to carry the badge of your first blazer, can't wait for them to get here so I can straiten' out the front bumper

Sorry it took so long to get back to you's guys, but 1 ol' man and a snow shovel against 18" of snow takes awhile, just finished 2 cars and 1 to go by Monday afternoon

Thanks again Kurt, one more small step towards completion...LMK on shipping charge

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

make that 15" of snow... built a few snow forts today and made the girls cry when we hit them... :lol: oops..

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Nope, this ones on me bud. :)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Just like you Army guys, always building FORTS. Glad you had time to play with the kids,always a good thing

Man, my friendship is gettin' expensive:lol: Thank You!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

heck yeah, then put the private on guard duty and not let him shoot anything...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Seems a bit congested behind my water neck, so, planned to move it to the passenger side head...easy right! Snapped the extension at the detent ball, guess that's why they are called (disclaimer, no product referrance intended). Can't believe I don't have a tool to get this plug out, guess it's time for heat, and or PBblaster

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yikes - that stinks. I like checking in on your thread so I can see somebody who has been where I am and is still plugging away at it. :)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Go Jim Go!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Does that say "S-K" on the side? I've snapped or otherwise tiwsted off SEVERAL of those 1/2" x 3/8" extensions of various brands, but never a Snap-On. It's kind of my personal challenge in life to someday find a way to grenade a Snap-On product with my bare hands. I'm beginning to think that particular ambition will go un-fulfilled.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Damn it! I hate when you're right:lol:
What, did that take you 1.35 seconds to figure that out?:lol: Gave Jon an electric one for Christmas last, problem is, he's 300 miles away and my compressor needs new valve seats...goin' to have to do this the hard way

Thanks for watching, I also check in on you:lol:You're at the most difficult part of the build, noisy, dirty, time consuming, and more negative adjectives than I can't think of right now! It only gets better as the metal work gets done...sorta

For me it's just fun being in my work shop, building something with my own two hands, then sitting back and looking at it. Best thing I ever built was my workshop, decades of pleasure

Should be SloJimSlo:lol:, but time is on my side, wasn't that a Stones song?

Damn Tynee, what do you have a magnifier on your monitor? Yes, it was a SK...time to bring out the shiny tools:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim, I had to replace an alternator and the pully was wrong on the new one and the correct one was rusted tight to the old alternator. The guys at the local Checker/O'Reilly sprayed some new (to me) stuff on it that froze the metal. Pretty soon it was off using hand tools.

I don't remember the name, but the can was white and light blue. It made a believer out of me. I bought a can on the spot.

I'd run out and look at it, but its at home and I've been working in Detroit the last 6 weeks.

Good luck getting it out.

Doug

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

How much longer are you up in Detroit?
Thanks for the heads up Doug, will have to try that with a combination of better tools

I've used bearing stretchers, but never used cold, makes sense, just opposite principle

Gotta go back and change my 'Snapon' comment, before Tynee yells at me again:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I would never yell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: That was much funnier with my caps lock on. I didn't realize that the board wouldn't let me yell. Hmm...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

One set of front bumper brackets that vtblazer posted are for 2WD and the blue ones are for 4WD. I don't know if anyone noticed that. The 2WD brackets will not work on a 4WD truck. WES

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

IT WILL IF YOU USE A LOWER CASE i...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Now that is funny, didn't know we couldn't YELL anymore!:lol:

edit...NOW THAT IS FUNNY, DIDN'T KNOW WE COULDN'T YELL ANYMORE...THANKS, SUBURBAN. works for me

Wes, thanks for dropping by, I'm appreciative of your input! BTW, great advise on those '67 side molding trim clips, Mar-K did a fabulous job of repop. Didn't realize the inside fender screws were with the kit, then as I dug further into the bag, there they were, correct shape of the head and all. Perfect way to mount up my NOS trim. I'm glad we have guys like you on our side of the restoration. Also the idea of drop shipping from the manufactor to me, saved a couple of bucks and time. Thanks again

Yes I did notice the differance, but keeping that information at the forefront is important to us all. If Coyote had read my threads he would have realized I have an extra set now, but he is buying a set for 45 from 6T727T2.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Had some time to kill at work today and reviewed your whole thread - what did you use in these pix to coat the A pillar and rocker - brushed on Rustoleom?

I want to smooth my rocker into my A and B pillar so I will be using a skim coat of filler to clean up the ends a bit...or is there a better product to use [metal lab]?

I have my door off now - and wanted to paint it - but it isn't warm enough for me to do it now...soooo I guess I will have to yank the door and fender in the spring to get it painted the right way - I hate lining up the doors and fenders...:(
