first off sorry for your loss, we will keep her in our prayers, secondly thank your daughter for her continued work in that field.

we also have my mother-in-law in a nursing home and are worried, since we can't visit

glad to hear the rest of your family is doing well, but sad times for a lot of us

exhaust on the cheap

went on NAPA's catalog, came up with an assortment of hangers and clamps, had to modify some of the hangers. Then had to drill a rivet, as it was in the exact place where I wanted to mount the hanger, my least favorite thing to do, after about 2 hours of stepping the drill size up and 2 batteries, worked out.

took my old 1 1/2" pipes to a shop and used them as a template, nothing fancy, no mandrel bend

turn downs had to be adapted for now, later will have the exhaust bent over axle

moved the truck to the back yard so i could test some systems out, problems with the temp. gauge, fixed by part from NAPA G1852, sent off to a1971 blazer, and he turned it down to 3/8" ,quickly. now the gauge reads as it should(thanks to the guys on the electrical forum) also bought a repair kit from AA #34620

next was the hydro boost, pedal was pulsing, air in the system, just kept bleeding system, by turning lock to lock, and drilled a small vent hole in cap. takes a while to get all the micro bubbles out

now trans doesn't want to shift into gear, maybe an adjustment, also my pan gasket leaks, waiting on a gasket from lube locker
