Hey joe, the truck is coming great, just got back from working on it down at my dads in summerland, the stage we are at now is the frame is all cleaned up and painted, lowered 3/4 disc brakes, 5 lug, power steering etc...cab is on it and the bottom of it is all cleaned up and painted along with the firewall, the 327 and th400 is also bolted in, this weekend i cleaned the inner fenders all up and gave them a coat of black paint. man there was a lot of grime caked on...tyook about 3.5 hours to get them to bare metal
also started on teh box (took it all apart), we got osme airplane stripper stuff from lordco, you spray it on wherever you want to remove paint, i got the front end of the box all down to bare metal...like the piece opposite to the tailgate, this week my dad is goign to but a new timing chain in the 327 and put the wiring back in. hopefully have it running in a couple weeks, (noty like driveable though) the blazer tank is a nightmare though..we are usuing a newer frame so we have to make some sorta straps and crossmemebers for it, yesteday we dropped the front and rear fenders off at a guys place in keremos, he is g oing to have them all done in 3 weeks, cant wait to see how they turn out...ill have some pics tonite when benson gets home..he is also a member on here...mandinsixseven..i always mooch his dig camera, ill post some pics tonite if i get them from him...thanks for the interest, we gottaget some group pics here inthe spring or summer....
