weekend
well if all goes well i might be goin to get a parts blazer tub for myself . I know it might dissapoint some but i would like to drive my blazer this summer and getting a tub with solid floors would save me a month and a half . Plus i might consider saving the parts from the old tub and offing her up to board members sacraficial style . Ok last beer

Alexis, your weekend list would take me about 6mos, good luck. I'm currently stripping the bed floor and sides. Got one side done, hope to do the other this weekend. Takes forever.

My K5 will roll out of the garage this weekend. I am very committed to that. Fri night, All day Saturday should just about do it... This is good, I can collect my thoughts 'out loud' here.
I did change the distributor and rebuild the carb at the same time, so I am expecting fun times getting it all dialed back in. LH Axle new u-joint press in Press lug studs and lock new rotor onto old hub Clean old hub and inspect races pray that I don't need to change races Pack and install new inner/outer hub bearings, seals Replace 2 broken spindle studs Clean spindle and pack spindle bearing Install spindle and backing plate Install hub assy and locking hub Install new caliper and SS brake line Remove old brake line and caliper torque rear u-bolts to spec Install dual stabilizer up front remove old dual exhaust system Get the old girl started Get out of garage a) air down 38's enough to lower few inches or b) use neighbors suburban wheels/tires Bolt and/or air 38s back up Set timing and idle Recheck everything Maiden voyage Wash it

I got my weekend started early. Told the wife that I was going to keep it and to deal with it. Pulled the front clip off today (motor and trans tomorrow) and removed a 10x14 section from the left rear floor that had some rust. Started gasket match porting the bb heads last night. Called and got a small 401K loan today and when it shows up going to take a trip ECC and get all of the patch panels and a complete 68 frontend with a cowl hood..Here are some pics of it as it sits now
