It was pi$$ing down rain so I went to Long Beach where there are many good Pick-A-Part Junkyards , wandered around and found a '53 DeSoto Taxi that had a Chevy 250 L6 in it that had the hard to find late model rocker box with the raised " CHEVROLET" letters and the correct later model smog hose connections , grabbed that and discovered they'd give me a 25 % discount for being stupid enough to be swimming in the oily water so I went back to the Hearse & grabbed my tool box and coveralls , spent the next 4 hours in the mud grabbing unobtanium suspension parts from Metropolitans and such.....

By the time I left , the sun was out , I was soaked head to toe but very happy indeed .

There's a K5 (?) Blazer (square body , looks like my old '75) in there (Ecology Yard on West Lomita Blvd. Long Beach) with a very nice complete rear seat and other bits & bobs too in case there's any Blazer lovers here .
