Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I started removing misc stuff. The truck goes into paint jail on Tuesday. I picked up my seat from the upholstery shop on Saturday. I like it but the color did not match all of my other painted trim pieces. Oh well. Looks like I will have some time to get them all squared away while the body and paint are getting done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Guess what I did today. The first picture is your clue. I try to get all the use out of my cut off wheels I can! The second and third show the cuts I made to the frame to allow clearance for the gas tank. I intend to mount it with the mid flange up against the upper edge if the frame rail. I have some 1/8" strap stock that I will form to support the tank. It will look like a factory installation when I am done. At least that is what I am shooting for. I will be fabing up a receiver that will box in the frame at the rear and add strength. The last picture shows the filler necks current location. I will need to get creative with the frame at that point to allow clearance to get to the tail light filler. I had to cut a little of the top rail to allow me to drop the tank into place. I will re-install all that I can to have a spot to bolt the bed securely. Tomorrow I hope to pressure wash the back half so I have clean metal to work with. I will be fabing my c notch's and shock relocation brakets and moving my shocks. Onward!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it to my daughter's about 60 miles away, drove them around a some this afternoon and loaded some wood from the tornado over there on the truck to take back to their house. Ended up hauling the wood back home with me tonight. All told I put around 176 miles on with only a few minor problems ( rear brake dragging and weak pressure plate causing clutch to slip if I push it too hard). I'm gonna put in another clutch soon as I can and replace some of the brake hardware on the right rear. Pretty happy with the old truck after having it on the road for two weeks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the 200 4R out of the Suburban as last fall it decided it didn't want to shift from 2nd to 3rd. I have a TH350 that I will put in until I can get the 200 4R rebuilt. I might try doing it myself next winter. Haven't ever done one before - maybe it is time.
Still waiting on the delivery of my Softopper for the Blazer. Hopefully this week. I have a new tailgate trim panel to put on the Blazer while I am waiting too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Purchased the painless 10206 wiring harness. Started removal of stock harness. Trying to decide on 383 Stroker or LSx motor. Want to purchase in next week or so.
