Sweet72k5 · 04-09-2005, 12:59 PM

Well mine became the dang gas tank when i bought my truck for 1300 buxs from a lady she had the blazer just painted and alot of work done and then just let it set out in the weather since 1997 and never started it so i had my hands full as far as getting her back to running shape dang tank had a butt load of rust in it so after alot of looking i found one a after market one and as you would know the dang filler neck was diffrent soo i had to take the other one off the old tank and have it put on the new one the only thing that was nice was that the new tank came with a new sinding unit the old tank still had the carban sock in it but caked with rust...lol and after all that was done and a little oil down in the cyclinder walls for a few days and a new set of plugs and the points system taken out and replaced with a hei she fired right up but for me to have to go threw all that it was worth it because i have one nice rig for only 1300 buxs but since then i have dumped thousand into it now...lol

This thing took a while for me to find, it is part of the rocker box. Most people have a hard time with the windshield frame but I lucked out on that one x3

I found some at the Portland swap meet cheap to but my hands were full and I had never seen them before so I weren't sure if they would fit my single wall top.

At the moment it is the temp. sending unit wire. I have been very lucky meeting great people on here that have helped me get everything needed so far.

yeah i have to get a new glove boxs my blazer didnt have one open it up and went wow no box....lol

jakeslim · 04-10-2005, 09:28 PM

LUV2XCLR8 - this is the part I need. Pm me the info on it.

pound41 · 04-10-2005, 09:42 PM

Teamharvey:
Is it the wire or just the wire end? Usually its the end that goes bad. You can take the old end apart and mount it to a new wire/or old one again. Also I have taken just a standard plastic coated female wire end cut a little channel on the backside and slide it on
