Re: Project "Old Blue"
where did you get the speaker baffles from? And do you know if they come in a 6x9?

Re: Project "Old Blue"
My speedometer is off now since I changed the transmission so I dont know for sure but on highway I think I'm at around 12mpg with the trans slipping and the engine not running to good. I'm buying a rebuilt long block and a transmission from eatmyshift.com today to replace what I have now.

Re: Project "Old Blue"
I have some updates
 I bought the transmission I have been talking about on here for a while now. I got the 700r4 from eatmyshift.com and had them install their T/C lock-up kit and TCI's constant pressure valve body. This is going to be so much easier to install then the last 700r4 that I got out of a '91 short bed. The lock-up just wires into a keyed power spot on the fuse block and the T/V cable with the new valve body is just to set the shift points now. I had to get a rebuilt long block 350 to put in because I was having oil pressure problems and the intake lifter on the number 5 cylinder got dished out by the cam. I'll post some pics up when I get it finished and running.

Re: Project "Old Blue"
I took a few days off to get it finished but for some reason after lunch I get tired of working on it and get a mental block on what I should do next.
All I have left is: *Bend the new lines for the transmission *transfer the speedo gear from my old transmission *hook up my shifter linkage *run the wire for my T/C lock-up *put oil in the engine *prime the engine *put the valve covers on *hook up the thermostat wire *put the radiator in and hook up the heater hoses *put the alt. on and belts *mount the headers *install the battery *put the transmission fluid in *and break in the cam Not a whole lot

Re: Project "Old Blue"
Well I got it running Saturday. I just have some minor leaks to take care of but everything is running great. Besides the belt squeal That I have tried over and over again to get rid of.
Here are a few posts of pictures for you to look at that I took while I was working on it. I found out that my lifter was the problem for my engine messing up. Pic below

Great mods to the truck, you did a lot of things I'm wanting to do to my 69.

Re: Project "Old Blue"
What year blazer gas tank did you purchase to mount between the rear frame rails? How did the TV cable work out to the 700r4?
