Re: 1969 Short Wide
Awesome pics Mike, I've been following along on IG too. Your truck looks right at home with the rest of the beautiful cars and trucks at the show.

I only parked in that spot for a few minutes, then moved to the main road next to Tim in the white and black truck. I didn't spend much time with the truck, I was like a kid in a candy store out there..... Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Your truck looks great! Thanks Chris. I'm sure you'll find one in your current region. Thanks Keith. Yeah, I'm really into the instagram thing. It's just pictures. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I also met long time forum friend ls1nova71 (Eric). Here's a few pics of his super
cool LS powered 1933. He was doing LS swaps before most people knew what they were. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
thanks. I think I have a tach issue (it is an original) but I'm not sure. I really appreciate the help.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Ha, I didn't know you knew Eric! He's a great guy, I just saw him this weekend. Yeller would not be nearly as nice as it is without him. Glad you had fun, I gotta get down there one day.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Just a quick update, I have been driving my old truck when weather allows. My wife and I just made the 810 mile round trip to Conroe, Texas for the Lonestar Throwdown. It was a great show. Got to meet up with a bunch of new and old friends.
The truck performed great. Only one little hiccup when the fuel pump gulped a little air going up a long steep hill. A short delay and we were back on the road. I plan to change a few things on the fuel setup that should prevent that from happening again. Here's a few pictures from the trip. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Awesome pics Mike! Is your tank baffled or were you just a little low on fuel?

Thanks MMcMasters Thanks Keith, I thought we might meet up down there. I hope you are in good health. Eventually, I will see your Blazer in person. Even if it's just at Keith's shop. Thanks Scoti, good to see you again. Thanks Keith. It's always amazing when you cruise these trucks how folks come right up and visit about them. It usually starts with "my dad had one of these" or "my grandpa had one of these..... Thanks Chip. I followed along last year on IG.... |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Very cool on making the trip and the truck still looks awesome! It's nice to hear you only had minor hiccup and were able to keep going.
