Worked on the seat brackets. Cut them down and inch and got the mounts so it sits back 2". And pulled it out of the garage and turned it around under its own power for the first time.

Wow. Within two weeks of getting the Blazer back. You're gonna be busy.

Two hours and I managed to get all of the OEM spark plug stands and wire routing clips installed as well as most of the new ground straps. Sooo much easier to do when you don’t have a radiator, exhaust manifolds and inner fenders in the way under the hood.

I wanted to get the cab back on the dolly so I can finish smoothing out the firewall... but the bed was on it. It took quite a bit of finagling and figuring but it’s done.

maybe you and I are refering to the same thing Im talking about the blue apparatus you can barely see inside the bed , I have one that lifts the cab that you attach to the engine hoist(i have successfully moved my cab solo) Im wondering if there is something you can use to put inside the bed to lift with no damage ....looks like thats what he did/has /used??

This is what I used in conjunction with the hoist. It was 89 bucks through Northern tool.

Cap, rotor and plug wires...

Shortened her up a little and changed over to 73-87 style engine mounts. Still need to finish welding the inner sleeve and smoothing the cuts for the motor stands but it’s all in.

Yes you always want to do just a little bit more. Lol

89AKurt · 03-08-2019, 10:48 PM

I took my "new" truck to the mechanic to check all the fluids, and look over everything. When the differential oil came out, I heard "oh $#it". So I took pictures today.

Is it trashed or can the spacer just be pushed in and make sure the tolerances are all in spec??
Nevermind, I found the answer on your personal thread... Thats a bummer.

Yea, he just pushed it back in.

Sorry, couldn't resist. It was all taken apart, cleaned, new bearings, seals, and new brakes shoes because what was on was cracked, and all new spacers. I posted a series of photos on my thread.

Bummer...could you hear the rear end singing when you drove it?

Not really, the transmission makes noise, there was water in the oil but no metal. Yes, when I was going downhill and turning right around curves, it howled. As you can see, the pinion gear was hitting the carrier (correct the terms if I got it wrong).

Here is a short video (on Facebook, sorry), showing how loose it was.
