Was going to paint the fender and door but found a couple of spots I wasn’t happy with . So by the time I fixed them it was getting to late hopefully tomorrow . So I painted a few small items . Still working on the hoops they were pretty dinged up so another day for them .

The rush is on . The Precision windshield gasket was ok ,wasn’t the exact same as the old rubber but it worked out . Me and the misses did it in about an hour . Blasted one wheel while I had it off to install the inner skirt quick spray and put the NOS hubcap on just to see how it looked . Took it off prior to putting the truck away .

A couple of days ago I filled Otis up with some $6.59 a gallon fuel and noticed my fuel gauge read way past full. I kept an eye on it and it wasn't going down so today I rolled him up to the barn pulled the ground wire from the sender and grounded it out and the gauge went immediately to empty.
I checked the Ohm's thru the ground wire to the gauge and got about 47 Ohms which is ballpark for the resistor across the back of the fuel gauge. Gauge should be good as tested and has always been fairly accurate. I then cleaned the contact on the grounding wire hooked it back up to the sender and no difference. Tomorrow I'll pull the sender make sure it's not hung up, and/or check Ohm's to verify it is indeed the sending unit. About a year ago I experienced a similar issue but after burning a 1/4 tank or so it returned to and has been normal until it reared it's ugly head again, at the time I just wrote it off as a hung up float arm. |

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 .
