VA72; thanks they were just some screws I had laying around. Youre rite, socket head SS would look the best, I have to locate some countersunk ones


Yep, thats the one, a little nox chrome cleaner and its shining away. It has just the right amount of patina to fit with my build, trying to make it look like a forty year old surviver

Thanks again for dropping it off

Sorry I forgot. They are the Marquez Design

Re: PO has me PO'd

I didn't get a lot done on the blazer, I want to get the scrap metal tire carrier for the jeep done before it snows, it should be done this weekend.
Check my photobucket link below for pics on the blazer. Oh don't forget the door under all those hoods

Re: PO has me PO'd

John, thanks for the link, the video is awesome, truck sounds good....

Wifey, planned a get away this weekend, or else i was going to come down. Hope that door is still hiding under there, i need to cut it down for my quarter doors. My nephew said he can get me another tire, just like the one that is also hiding

Spare tire holder looks like it came out well, far better welder than me.

Hey, are those parts taking up to much space? If they are i will rent a truck to pick them up

Heard from Dave?

Re: PO has me PO'd

Ok, i was wrong! Pink and red have a factory splice, its the way that they used to bring the wires from the bulkhead connecter to the fuse block and then up the wiring harness. So, something else caused the pink to melt the insulation...to much draw. Either the electric choke or the starter, anyway, mystery for another day. Ill keep an eye on it

Harness is wrapped with the non sticky stuff i got from M&H, worked out well, and even found a way to wrap the end under itself

Light switch w/rheostat...check
Wiper switch high and low speed...check
Panel lights...check
High beam indicater...check
Turn signals...sorta
Ammeter...not yet
Cruise control...tbd, light works w/panel light
Brake switch...directions for mod. not making sense, but switch works
Igntion switch...check
Oil pressure light...need to mod. since i have a gauge
Cigar lighter...check, first time it has worked since i have owned the truck
Heater control...took a crap on me, rivets broke! thank goodness for the classifieds
Radio...no harness yet

Re: PO has me PO'd





Sample wrap, if you wrap apiece of stiff cord, i used a flat braid, under the last wrap or two, you can pull the tag end under. Then, if you pull on the cord it will come through under the wrap. I like to tie a knot, so it will not come undone

Re: PO has me PO'd



This is the step that doesnt make much sense, posed to be a alignment dimple on the brake pedal bracket...

Re: PO has me PO'd

Figured out the vacuum bracket, must be aftermarket, no dimple, plus it was assembled backwards....

Ammeter....followed the wire from battery to the posts on the ammeter,got 12.68 volts, must be bad
WTB post coming to the classifieds
