Re: B's 70 2wd Blazer
Got the blazer back on the road yesterday, I'll get some pics of the progress this week (I was too tired to clean it up).
What's been done so far:
1. Painless wiring kit installed (glad that's over!)
2. Cleaned up cab area
a. Removed remnants of welded in rollcage on floor boards
b. Patched hole for floor shifter (it has a high hump...weird for a 2wd but I guess not impossible)
c. POR-15'd the floors
d. Sanded/spray bombed dash doors and steering column (just a light coat to make it one color and hopefully not enough to piss off the paint guy when that time comes)
e. Cleaned up gauge cluster and got all but 1 gauge working
3. Removed factory a/c from firewall
4. Installed Lokar column shifter linkage
5. Installed ps pump and lines (PITA...it should not have been that hard...haha)
This week's plans:
1. Install door mirrors
-It has the holes, but no nuts on the inner sheet metal...I was going to just use some nylon nuts but any other suggestions are welcome!
2. Patch firewall a/c holes (just gonna rivet a couple plates in for now)
3. Install a temporary temp gauge
-The stock gauge jumps (gotta check the connection), but after my drive yesterday, the upper hose felt hotter than I expected..I want to see what the true temp is.
4. Figure out why the dummy brake light is on
-I have no idea what this light is telling me, but it's on. I have brakes, but it does pull to the right at first when they are applied (front discs, rear drum with booster set up).
