Thanks, CPP springs and shocks. 3 5. Tires are 235/75/15. The drive shaft is right down the middle of the hole. I want to put on spindles and blocks to go 5.5 and 7. I did use the old lower rear shock mount brackets to get another 1/2 inch. So it is actually 5.5 rear. Not pretty but it was a free .5. Will do a notch as well.

I broke it.

On the way home from work, I heard a hissing sound, and soon the power steering wasn't. Popped the hood to find the expected spray of fluid in the front left corner. I man-handled him home, and now I have to refill the pump to see where the leak is. I *think* its a hose and *hope-and-pray* it's not the box.

Got a call from the woman to tell me I have 5 big boxes sitting in the living room waiting on me to get home this weekend...

Well, I pulled the steel part of the low-pressure line off to find the hole in it caused by rubbing against the inner fender. Next step: find a replacement for the steel part of the hose or have one made.

Bought some new shocks to install this coming week

Finally got brake fluid squirting from all four corners on my K10. Found the rear flex line had collapsed inside--likely original. Some more bleeding to do to get it right as the master cover (rebuilt unit) leaked so I used the old one.

Also installed the new glove box insert and will be doing the door and window seals as well as some other small items.

Pertronix is next.....

Yesterday, I took a broken header off. Today, I put one new one in, along with replacing the fuel pump and filter. (There's nothing like getting a gasoline bath right before supper!). Tomorrow, finish up the other header and put a new temp sending unit in. Pretty fruitful weekend, so far

[Possmguts]

Fit the new grille, mocked up some radiator brackets, and sat the bed back on the frame to get an idea on how Im going to do the fuel fill with the Boyd tank and stripped the driver side of the bed and uncovered quite a bit of work its gonna take to get it straight. No rust hidden under all that paint and bondo though.

[custom10nut]

Got the headers finished, temp sender in, and one wheelwell. I'll finish it up tomorrow. Still have to replace some fuel line. Sorry for the blurry pic. Next week I'll start on the inside. I'll keep y'all posted

[Elliot949]

Got the final block done on the cab of "Raymond... moving to the bed this week... Hoping to go to paint with the cab and bed next weekend...

Got to take mine on a road test and drove it about 120 miles to San Antonio.
I finished my transmission swap about two weeks ago and I'm loving the overdrive.
I put a 200-4r in and cruise at about 2250 rpm to do 75 mph.
Glad to be able to drive it again as it has been down for about 3 1/2 years.

What rear gear are you running? That's one of the trannys on my possibility list..
Congrats on getting yours back on the road.

I have a 3.73 with 30x9.50x15 tires
Thanks it's great to drive it again

Installing Vintage AC in the Blazer. Good AC is a must have for the Power Tour.

Im wondering if you realized the dust storm you are going to have everywhere you go now? There was times I thought my truck was on fire when I had turn downs....

[OregonNed]

That's a great color of green!

[vidman]

Pure Toy - future trips to the dragstrip. Doesn't get out in the dirt much anymore. After suspension, rear end, brakes work is done, going to add a supercharger.

Thanks for looking!

I'm sure not everybody is a fan of this look but I like the way the pipes turned out.

That may not be what I would necessarily do...but I like it. It shows some ingenuity and personal preference....always a good thing.
Its good to be different...nice job!

All Good
