You'd think with all that time, I'd be driving the Blazer by now, but thought I'd post pics of my new dipstick courtesy of ShowmeK20.

Also got the pulley for power steering mounted on the harmonic balancer. Now if I can just get to work on the exhaust, this thing will run!! Jeff.

**Palf70Step** · 11-27-2005, 09:24 PM

Well at least you did something. All I did was look at mine and wish I had some time for it. Now next weekend I should get some things done!

Striker169 · 11-27-2005, 09:49 PM

I got my seat in bolted down and my seatbelts in too. Umm also traded my 750 manual choke carb for a 850 electric

**69TowRig** · 11-27-2005, 10:38 PM

Pulled the driveshafts, blasted, painted black, new u-joints. Before the rear one went back up under the Blazer I scraped about 4-5 lbs of oily "funk" off the undercarriage. Still lots more to scrape and wire brush!

hotrodhomi · 11-27-2005, 11:10 PM

you don't need exhaust to run. Maybe to run down the road, but thats only if you care about your ears.

kaycee · 11-27-2005, 11:51 PM

OH YEAH I ate about 5 lbs of turkey and 1/2 a pumpkin pie plus about 3 gals of BEER to wash it all down, and that was just 1 day.

one layer of varnish on bedwood, cleaned/painted/installed the correct 67-68 washer bottle bracket, cleaned/installed near perfect oem firewall wiring gutter.....

Not much, but every little bit helps...

DJ72CHEVY · 11-28-2005, 01:05 PM

Cleaned and painted the back half of my frame. Used the tractor an implement paint, will see how it holds up.

red71cheyenne · 11-28-2005, 01:13 PM

hotrodhomi, don't care about my ears, but I think the neighbors would probably go ahead and call the cops.

thanks shifty, your'e right, I can't wait to fire it up and break in the cam! Jeff.

Rdrdave · 11-28-2005, 08:40 PM

I pulled 307/3spd installed 350/m21, with xmember, HEI, and all the rest of the BS. Now I'll detail it all. Why don't these projects ever get completed?! BTW, nice engine cmprtment

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-28-2005, 10:05 PM

Thats better than what I had to do .... Built a fence for the new house this 4 day weekend..

red71cheyenne · 11-29-2005, 12:38 PM

hehe, ya Frenchy, since the kids were all up for Thanksgiving, I got out of the "honey do" list. Even managed to avoid putting up xmas lights. I'll have to do it this coming weekend though. Jeff.
