not today, but since i just recently(tonight) got a new computer and got back online i will add my 2 cents

after finishing the air compressor wiring in the garage i finally got around to removing the cab. started pulling the bed sides the night before last. soon the frame will have a date with the blaster!

Lately, I just sit and look at it. I am waiting for all of my engine parts. The block, crank, & pistons go to the machine shop Monday. I had to abandon the 307 project. I am sticking all of the parts in a late model block. I will be pressure washing parts this weekend.

74baggedbug · 12-02-2011, 09:35 PM

Installed a small system in it and only using my phone to run everything.. Also painted my radio delete panel ..

Found this on craigslist. Went to look at it and it is brand new in the box in perfect shape for $400.00. Not to bad saved me some coin over ordering one and having it shipped to me.

richards72chevy · 12-03-2011, 11:24 PM

Tried to figure out why it wont start using the key switch.Im having to use a push button to start it!

longbed67 · 12-04-2011, 12:17 AM

Got 25' of 1/4" brake line polished, and 25' of 3/8" brake line for the air lines now my hands are blacker than my frame rail!

I found a used set of 71 K-10 mirrors on craigslist this weekend. They were rusty, so I took everything apart and sanded them down to bare metal, then repainted white. The mirror heads are beat up pretty bad, so I used a set of after market mirror heads I had laying around from lmc, it was a fun weekend project.

ryanroo · 12-04-2011, 08:48 PM

nice rig!

ryanroo · 12-04-2011, 07:53 PM

got the frame all stripped down and ready for the blaster. finally took some pics with the phone. i think my wife took the camera by accident on her three month work stint in south dakota. on to pics

had to hack off the old trailer ball plate my grandpa welded on and the rear bumper that was similarly attached.

for all the great things he was, i am fervently glad that my grandfather was not as good of a welder as i. thankfully it wasnt to difficult to remove either piece.

loaded and ready to head to town

landsurvey1 · 12-04-2011, 08:53 PM

74baggedbug · 12-04-2011, 11:23 PM

74baggedbug · 12-05-2011, 11:17 PM

Had this on my 82 Chevy p/u almost 10yrs ago... We yanked the drivetrain and junked the body.. I gave this to a good friend of the family and just the other night he called me and asked if I wanted it back because it didn't work on his car and he knew I had a truck now. I DID NOT do the blue his kid was being dumb and painted it.. So now I gotta clean it up and slap it on my 68!!!!!
