Went for a ride....
....around the block. As you can see I rigged up a temporary fuel tank for the 70 until I finish up the Blazer tank install. Truck had not been started in about 2 months, and for Mississippi it was cold this morning (38). She fire right up, or as much as a straight six does. I moved her around and parked her in teh other side of the shop so I can pull it out under the carport when I am doing all this sanding stuff. I wonder if I should reupholster my seat?
![]() Oh yeah, just in case you didn't know (or remember) when you are driving and take turns with no door hardware, your doors fly open. ![]() ![]() EDIT: Duh fergot pictures

Re: Went for a ride....
I think you better get some paint on the bare metal before you consider it done.Other than that,congradulations on a nice complete restoration.
