These are on my '78 GMC fishing truck, wood bed floor! Anyway they are 15x8.5 up front & 15x10's out back. The centers are chrome silver caliper paint w/etching primer base.

And so 2019 broke on us.

Perfect day, sunshine, chilly, DRY....!!

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pswa5g1yn1.jpg

Slow start indoors culminated in cutting the grass, as it was really scruffy, but had the mower set quite high as the lawn is waterlogged, or at least very soft n soggy, but happy it’s done.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pskl5kvfo2.jpg

Then chatted with various friends around the world, from Stas in Siberia to Ray in Iowa and of course Dennis in Missouri and my brother in South Africa.

Followed by Truck Time.

What better way is there to starting the year.

This Blazer that certainly still is “Not a Project” was going to get some attention.

And both were small jobs that in my opinion have delivered and then some.

It really has wrapped up the last three months worth of Ups n Downs, and you all know where we started.
I certainly have done more and spent more than intended.
But it’s come together really well.


First job, take a starting point photo.


http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psmynvi58d.jpg

Then remove the aluminium grille that will go into the for sale pile.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssvldbtnf.jpg

Reassemble

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psdjckvrbe.jpg

Compared to the starting point.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjbjjzitv.jpg


And then the Money Shot.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps3eoimavh.jpg

Harley had been there all day, helping.

She is a funny cat......

Once I reversed the truck back from the lawn to start on the second job, which would be the steering wheel replacement, I went to the house to grab a coffee.

When I got back, this was what I found.

Catscan Approved

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psg7uwspum.jpg


More in a while.

Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
 
Second New Years job....

Fitting the steering wheel Ian Brown had sent me from his stash to replace the Moto-Lita one that came with the truck.

Undoing and removing it was so easy. I had expected a fight.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psezf3hnwp.jpg

Seems there are still some bits missing here.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psn3kpddht.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psh3sgcwlu.jpg


Surprise discovery.

Cruise control.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psrip84j5e.jpg

My little Klingon was with me all day again, being a real pain in the butt.

But she makes me chuckle at her insistence to help and get in the way.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psvqfa6ykz.jpg

Fitted new wheel.

Amazing how off centre the centre actually is.

No horn push yet

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psd0cgxkpg.jpg

And at the end of the day......

Two small jobs done, but both were jobs I really wanted to get done.

Rock n Roll.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjeabt6z0.jpg


So what next....??

I could still have been wrong, and to be honest, it is only my taste, there could be many who prefer something else.


Something else I saw that I love too, not everyone will like it, but I like random stuff.


https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psuz3ydvfc.jpg

And some awesome Walmart products...

How badly do I want one of these.

Saw this in a hospital today.

U.K. company too.


Would they sell a meter length of this or similar for less than the cost of a stolen kidney?


https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfhoedrq2.jpg

Could work well as the visible part of a modified “Visible pump”

Will call them tomorrow.

My friend Lee the lawyer in St Louis texted me this afternoon to ask what I was going to do now the “Money Shot” pic had been achieved and the Blazer was finished....?


Women....!!


What do they know.


I was actually down at the garage out on the drive, trying to figure why the radio had stopped working in the Blazer.

First clue was this, after I removed some mangled duck tape from it all.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pspcje8lks.jpg

Looking at the radio from underneath the dash.

Evidence of household wiring, duck tape, electrical box junctions and some crimped connections.

Clearly a brain surgeon in attendance.

How anyone can think that these sorts of repairs or installations are worth spit boggles the mind.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psl1mcyzfz.jpg

Mate Martin called me at some point in the afternoon to see what I was doing tomorrow as he is having a new screen fitted to his Porsche in the morning and then visiting someone a couple of miles from where I Live, so wanted to pop in and see how much fun I was having.

He suggested I remove the radio outright and start from the furthest point, repairing and replacing, soldering and heat shrinking all the wires in a more logical, decent and safe way.

Done.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pss9fmb0hz.jpg

Looking in there, the camera loses the perspective of just how badly it actually is behind and under the dash.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pslzdeylje.jpg

At 3’C or 35’F on the drive with a gentle breeze to aid the chill, and failing light at 4pm it seemed logical to call it a day for today.

Closed up shop and headed into the village to get a relay and some connectors to use on installing the LED light bar for reverse.

Friday night after a short week........

Rum-0-Clock.

Later.

Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
 
Chilly winter weather and a cutting breeze stopped me doing anything constructive yesterday.

So most of the day spent indoors watching telly, eating rubbish.

Mickey came around with a self propelled lawnmower, needing a service and more, non starter, yesterday.

Probably needs anew diaphragm and possibly a plug and fresh fuel.

I will take a look soon.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psvxmty1dd.jpg

More randomness.

Got this reminder today on FB.

Amazing that I bought this more than 11 years ago.

Delivered by a former friend.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8ltyvgii.jpg

How I wanted to get it eventually

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjncei9h8.jpg

Spent a few hours today in the garden, cutting back some shrubs quite harshly, as well as tidying the front hedges.

The main trimmed bush scraped past anything driven down the concrete strips.

Ideally I want to move the drive strips over 18 inches to straighten out the path.

But that’s another days job.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps3qha4wfb.jpg

After the trim and tidy up.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pst6vsrzfp.jpg

More in a bit.

Grizz1963 01-06-2019 04:49 PM

Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
 
So after a few hours tidying up the garden and filling a wheelie bin to its pressed down brim, I had a coffee, chatted with Dennis about the new steering wheel and the fact that some brain surgeon in the past had refitted parts of it upside down, I also need to buy some more parts, including the horn parts and indicator cancel.

I am sure this cat has a camera or microphone up my butt.

When I left the house after chatting to Dennis, she as sleeping on a fluffy blanket in the lounge.

Before I could even remove the light and lenses, she was down there, shouting at me before settling down on a piece of carpet I use when crawling around under the truck.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pszovo5slk.jpg


So I started one side, and found 5 cut wires and about as many badly connected wires.

The cold made the wires very stiff and my fingers slow, but it was a job like many others that needed doing.

Spaghetti a-la Brain surgeon.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psul98245m.jpg

I initially covered up all the cut ends and heat shrunk their ends and then used a white marker to mark them off.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pshnmfvknp.jpg

Once I had spliced and soldered the wires, I slipped the heat shrink over the joints and using a lighter completed the actions.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssvfix7oh.jpg

Passenger side done.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psjkmqwtkm.jpg

Coffee time again.....

Check internet, check Tinder, check forums, back to work.

Drivers side, as bad as the other.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psfl2poqey.jpg

And once finished, one more heat shrink to slide over the join and heat up.

A bit tidier in my opinion

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psn3wgfnum.jpg


Finally I decided to test the lights, brakes and wiring, using modern technology as Harley had at this point gone back indoors, it was dark and cold outside, so she was a sensible girl, leaving me to test alone.

VIDEO FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT.

https://youtu.be/Hy4Naj2Iz5A

That concluded this wasted weekend.

Back to work tomorrow.

Radio and engine compartment wiring tidy up next.

Quick overnight update from Dennis and the gas station replica and storage space for collected treasures that he is building.

I guess they are never truely done.

He is busy painting and staining the last few interior boards and trim, but has started to mount some of his treasures collected over time.


Concrete island and drive still to come for the restored gas pumps and other equipment like tyre changers he grew up with, all restored and painted correctly.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psza4xt2ih.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssbxk8qeb.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psnvtku1vv.jpg

Looking forward to when the air is plumbed in and the driveway bell and tyre pump both work as well.

In the mean time he is also helping Adam and Hanna build the house and shop on their property next door. So not a lot of free time.

Have a good week.

Been a busy week at work, not truck time.

Not that Imhad time after dark to go fiddle with it anyway.

This morning early, Dennis and I were chatting again.

He was not impressed, no television because overnight 12 inches of snow had mode its way onto the deck and all over.

Seems they have a load more snow forecast for today.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfwvz2l6u.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psytjlvox8.jpg

Get yer skates on.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps7njlku7e.jpg

Friend Tyler who works for MoDoT (Missouri Department of Transport) was out all night, driving snow plough and gritting trucks.

I think the world does forget how much work happens behind the scenes, and that departments like MoDoT have all staff, Male and Female trained on all equipment and all work day and night to keep themroads moving in all weathers.

Tyler’s truck back home

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psrqo8ppx6.jpg

So what does an insomniac like Dennis do when the weather screws up his world??

Restore a small gas pump of course.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps5xi72c6e.jpg

I certainly am thankful we did not have this snow, the U.K. would grind to a halt for a week, with many idiots doing stupid stuff on the roads.

After more than a week of not touching the Blazer at all.

Harley was stir crazy this morning, so I decided to let her go play outside.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pswu9rk3gg.jpg

Two weeks ago when I was driving the truck I felt the power steering was really Snatchy, now most of us would not say no to a bit of snatch, but in this case, not ideal.

So I checked the power steering belt and it felt a bit slack, but not madly so.

I also opened the steering pump reservoir and found the cap was fitted in a half asssed way, certainly not securely.

I really despair at the lack of decent maintenance this truck has had over time, but getting it all right, bit by bit making it safe as I go along.

Fresh new water pipes, and beyond this one, the pump.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pst6raexfm.jpg

Opened up, I found there was not even a drip on the dipstick, not empty, but well below level.

So I drove in to Hoo St Werburgh village and the local motor spares shop, got some power steering fluid and back home.

Topping up and closing it correctly.

Once started, smoooooth..... operator.

Power Steering reinstated.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psr567thk7.jpg

Next up was the matter of my air cleaner on the Carburetor, it’s a Summit product, triangular, not sure one can find a replacement filter element, so going to remove the 5” air filter and replace with a new unit when I order one.

See the face?

Happy Holley

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psxkzt0ahe.jpg

Told her she would be getting a new bonnet (hat) soon, she was beside herself.

Whhhaaaahhh.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pslhwptz06.jpg


Amazed at how easily this truck starts, even in the cold and when not started for some time.

Some random engine revving for the petrol,pervs....

CLICK LINK.

https://youtu.be/jJgSw2sm444


I also reconnected and secured the air horn button that had come unstuck when Imremoved the radio previously.

Radio wiring to be addressed soon enough.

That concluded a short day out.

Happy.

The Kent Breakfast Meet is a Facebook group, as long as it’s American, but not exclusive and not brand or, year and model specific

I had not attended for a couple of years since taking my 66 C10 apart for restoration.

Started and kept alive by El Presidenté, Gene, it is a great meeting, currently hosted by The Woodman pub at Goathurst Common, TN14 6BU in Sevenoaks with loads of parking and very willing staff, family owned, serving a variety of breakfast items, I chose a small breakfast today and good, bottomless coffee for £7.00. I always expect heartburn from these breakfast specials, no heartburn equates good quality food.

So a bunch of pics, hope you enjoy.

Meeting is every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month, 9.00am to 12.00 but we were still chatting in the car park by 12.45 today.

Bring the wife and kids.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psf6f2vn9p.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psvlsvvt66.jpg

Looking down at part of the car park. More were to come.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psvwmtsu6c.jpg

So got up at 8.00 am and moved cars about, then headed out via my local serviced gas station, added 40 litres of fossil fuel to my reservoir and hit the road at 70mph.

This Blazer does want to go.


https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pstowhrtq6.jpg

Running down the M25 it went beautifully.

Got to the venue, parked up and took some random pics.

Then went indoors, got to meet with a bunch of guys I remember from before and more guys, new to me.

Best part of this meeting is that there is 100% no Dick-Swinging, just camaraderie and sharing of knowledge and friendship.

El Presidenté as a Gene is called tongue in cheek.

Does like a good fry up.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps7jmeofwa.jpg

My diet sized breakfast still was more than sufficient

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pswdqqx9x7.jpg


Once we had all eaten, chatted indoors, people floated outside.

It was a good day at 10’C or 50’F

So what do you do when 13inches of snow hits you, a tree falls ove on your only road to town and work?.

Well, if your name is Dennis, you do stuff indoors.

Like restoring a small,gas pump and reassembling it.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psrsc0vaiy.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstj5i29tt.jpg

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0cddp2zl.jpg

Once all that is done, you gomfetch your tractor and push your daily banger, Lumina down the road to get to work.

But of course the Lumina is big, bulky and less refined, but great for cruising with its full fat V8 but not particularly happy in snow and ice.

So this morning Dennis decided to buy yet another truck to be his daily banger.

4x4 and all the luxuries a GMC can throw at a buyer.

I like it.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psxbjjfj8o.jpg

And lastly, a photo from Stas in Siberia where they throw old army great coats over car bonnets/hoods to allow them to cool down a bit slower.

Just interesting that this one,had a snow blow over it and ended up looking like a man, unhappy with the snow.

Not sure who gets to claim this present.....

Me for my birthday, or the Blazer because it continues to not be a Project.

Another £48.00 invested in making it even better.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfcultteb.jpg

Will fit it over the weekend and take it for a drive then, not sure one would feel any difference or even notice it, but like so many of the service parts I have fitted so far, they just improve the truck and probably should have been done long ago.

Later.

Woke at 04.00

That was my night.

Chatted with Stas in Siberia on WhatsApp as the parcel I posted out 9 days ago, had been delivered

Was waiting for the sun to come upside that I could go fit the chrome birthday cake.

Lovely it was too.

0’C outside with a brisk breeze.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pscnda15vt.jpg

Cool new part to fit.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pspcsrm6hn.jpg

In sleeping shorts and a single hoody, it was not pleasant

Then found the old base plate fitted well.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psuohxyidf.jpg

Errrrmmm...

New one did not fit.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstxqx2qr2.jpg

Fouled by the carb.

So I called USAutomotive and ordered a 1/2 inch spacer.

While at it, I ordered a new PC Valve.

After the failure of the new air cleaner it was off to town.

Bloody freezing outside.

Remember my favourite Turkish restaurant, the quant, small one?

It has moved next door into a larger space, part of the same building, same people same food etc.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps4ucewliw.jpg

Thought I would give it a try.

Nothing has changed, including a lovely (one of my favourites there) coffee, £7.00

Happy for sure.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psyx2qjaar.jpg

Came home later after a walk about as I knew there was a signed for item coming and did not wantto miss the postman.

Doorbell rang minutes after I got in, delivered.

Opened up the had cardboard envelope and just laughed madly, then unpacked and before I could take a pic, the inspector was on the job.

Catscan.

Approved.

Thank you ems for doing this, and also mate Fil in the background who he done the original artwork and then converted it all to a cutting and printing format for Emyr to make it all up.

Love the RR stickers, and of course the actual Blazer rainbow Unicorn stickers.

This will be on the rear tailgate, with the Grizz’s in red overlaid on the name.

Went straight to the garage and mocked up the side stickers, had thought of overlaying it on the orange vinyl side stripes.

Suspect it will stay this way though.

Was chatting with Dennis earlier on too.

Another big piece for the replica gas station forecourt, probably going to go on the island between the pumps.

May not have achieved what I wanted to in one way, but a great day regardless.

Now we just need some sunshine and heat so that I can fit the new stickers.

Have a good evening.

Is that an approval from the cat scan, or don't touch them they are mine! :lol:

Quoted directly from her brain waves, sent to me, with no uncertainty


“These are mine”

These are mine too”

“Ahh, that’s mine”

“And this one is mine”


“Slave, you are mine”



So the Catscan really is just to ensure her new stuff is all intact and passes muster.




Saw these on another forum, made me smile.

Cat's out the bag. She's mine of 11 years. Lays claim to all in her sight as well.

100% sold.

Need another pic or two of her.


Follow up to the weekend

Just got in from a two day meeting.

Snow on the way home, cat unimpressed and managed to pee right next to her litter tray, just to show me. Monkey 🐒

But got the spacer and PCV.

Fitting and try out over the weekend.

Saturday morning may be me and Prozac over to Essex to pick up a load of wood for the fire place.

Sunday morning is Kent Breakfast meeting again.

Looking forward to it.

Sunrise

-1’C this morning, but lovely views.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psqowa5thu.jpg

Followed by an email from my old boss, who is now my new Boss’ boss.

Nice to get acknowledged for just doing your job.

Had another team meeting this afternoon in Croydon, took me over two hours to get home, 45 miles.

Found a parcel in my safe place

Horn button for the steering wheel Ian Brown had sent, came from Scotland.

Not in great condition, but 100times better than not having one at all.

Just offered up to see it is the right size.

Needs a clean still, and if I can find a better one, that would be good too.

Very rough week at work.

But therapy was at hand when I got in.

Small job, cleaning up the horn push.

https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psxibu8ymg.jpg

Looks better now.

Just need to figure what to do about the cracked front.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psdeu9xyb4.jpg

Prozac into action in the morning.

Off to Romford to see mate Steve, and collect this lot of fire wood, kindling.
