What did you get done? 01/11 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 01-11-2009, 10:39 PM

I had a weekend off, but I spent most of it inside doing office work. I did get some errands ran yesterday, truck inspected and a movie with the family.

Today I washed all our drivers since it rained enough this week to get them all nasty. Took the family to dinner, and called it a day.

What did you get done?

73CheyenneSuper20 · 01-11-2009, 10:55 PM

Nothing. Except sometime soon I get to do a trans.

Ds86C10 · 01-11-2009, 11:00 PM

Nothin but signed for some big heavy boxes from Summit Racing.... one weighted about 40lbs and the other weighted about 70-80lbs.... all truck parts

westie 666 · 01-11-2009, 11:02 PM

Finally got my front end sorted, turned out my front springs were shot so picked up a new set, did a service and now I'm on the road in time for for the Kumeu show, the biggest in the southern hemisphere.

**lolife99** · 01-11-2009, 11:08 PM

I had a little time Friday to clean up my newly acquired '69 swb.
Saturday I got the front bags and suspension put back together on the blazer. Today. Nothing much.
Here's my '69,...

I finished strippng the blazer minus the body, wrapped a few more pieces of my interior and acquired a set of 3rd row seats out of an 08 tahoe for the blazer. This interior is going to be nice. I'll be ready to pull the motor this weekend so if your are reading this Nate, I will be ready very soon. Saturday, I went to the movies with my 4 yr old daughter and the little boy next door. We watched "Bolt" and it wasn't terrible. It actually made me laugh out loud several times. Oh yeah, and I spent several hours on the internet trying to figure out what motor I will putting in the blazer. I've got a very nice polished TPI setup for it, but I am having second thoughts. decisions, decisions.

I sold the 350 out of the truck to make way for the 383.

flamingbig10 · 01-12-2009, 12:30 AM

the wheels look good Todd, Today I finished the head and taillight wiring, and started wiring the gauges

rfmaster · 01-12-2009, 12:35 AM

Still down with a cold - and it was close to 80 here today (Santa Ana winds warmed things up)!
While coughing and sneezing replaced headlight switch, installed old steering wheel (for now) and re-located SES (LED) to the left side of the instrument cluster. To do all of this took one trip to Autozone to return defective switch and pick-up replacement at Kragen! Non Delco replacement parts can be crap shoot and this time it was no different.
Need to find replacement E-clip (original broke) to make sure that steering wheel nut does not back out!

I wanted to install my 3/5 drop and my hitch but the wife wanted to go shopping anf then a old friend came into town. maybe next weekend.

wicked_sky_gazer · 01-12-2009, 09:44 AM

I feel i had a very productive weekend i started the daunting task of cleaning out my shop so i have room to get a better start on the truck... oh and if you look very closely you can actually see my chassis and new crate motor burried amongst the rubble.... enjoi!!

And after 16 hours a 12 pack and a dumpster worth of trash hauled off this is what i have now....

used to not be able to walk in the door i took the last picture from

tgh117 · 01-12-2009, 09:49 AM

Replaced the steering box, all the ball joints, repacked the bearings, replaced the rear brakes, all new emergency brake cables and orders some braided brake hoses.

All in all, pretty productive saturday. Sunday got out the fourwheelers and played in the snow a bit.

willis0107 · 01-12-2009, 10:03 AM

Mine started on Friday.

Another board member and myself went to BFE to pick up a new used engine for the blazer got it home and after he left I started the task of removing the old and putting in the new.

Saturday I had the engine in gettin g ready to bolt up the Torque converter to find out the fly wheel was differnt so pulled the engine again and put on the new fly wheel I got it all bolted up saturday

Sunday put the starter on finished the wiring. primed the fuel filters (diesel) put in the batteries and started it up.

In all the engines that I have ever installed this one by far was the easiest. Heck it even starts and runs like a champ with now adjustments at all

Last night I tool the Blazer on a 20 mile drive to make sure everything was good on it. Today I need to put the grill on and go fill t up

82c10 · 01-12-2009, 04:50 PM

i took a little road trip to up by woodward, oklahoma & traded for a 87 K5 blazer, in pretty decent shape, will post pics later, i finally have another chevy,lol

skidder111 · 01-12-2009, 05:14 PM

I finally hauled my 72 K5 to the body shop for finish and paint (Ron's Rod Shop in Stavely AB). Will pick it up in a couple weeks.
