Re: PO has me PO'd
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

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() 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

Re: PO has me PO'd
Hope that you recover quickly Jim. Don't over do it until you are completely healed - then go back to giving her hell.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks guys for all the well wishes, feeling stronger every day, made it to the back porch and was able to post up today.
Trans is getting rebuilt as we speak, they said that parts arent as available as you would think, seems everyone just thru out their old trans and now parts arent as available, as once was. so be it with the classic truck and car market so if you have an old trans dont chuck it, save it Thanks again all for the well wishes, made me feel much better knowing that their are people in this world that care

Re: PO has me PO'd
thanks, but my timing really sucks, as I was supposed to be rock crawling right now with VT Blazer and my boys out in Shmockin, pa, but it gives me one more year to work on my truck, maybe next year

Re: PO has me PO'd
I think I’d vote for grey. At least do the first coat and mount it. Look at it for a couple days, then finish it if you like it.
Somehow missed your trip to the ICU. Glad you’re back in the shop. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() Just for reference, to see how many different part numbers are out there Thanks Tynee, road to recovery has been slow, my staples are out, but I can't tell how I'm healing on the inside. I'm 3 months out of surgery, dr. Said it could take 6 months The only rubberized undercoat I could find is a 3M body schutz no.08864 in black, maybe tinted with white would give me grey, plus I want to give it a texture finish, I'll use a sponge and see if that works
