Over several days
Got my carpet put in ready to find my seat bolts holes LOL , and put in a 70s style dash in with tach. Started truck up for first time after I installed a all most new original interior wire harness I came across. Had to replace my headlight switch that I bought at local NAPA store. New cig. lighter but had to cut outer edge ring off for it to fit, then filed. New ignition bezel. New heater control cables, new heater fan motor and heater box gasket kit with resister. New windshield washer tubes. Got a set of over the shoulder seat belts out of mid 80s Blazer, by te way the seat belt bolts on floor are the same that fit upper cab corner access holes. Door panels ash pad and seats are recycled leather.
Should have seat by end of week..yea

So far, yes ... I will probably reposition it once I move a few things around so they won't contact it.

You can definitely take the knob completely out as a security feature, or just loosen it to shut off current.

Today I took off propellor on rear end to replace seal. It was difficult to get that seal out but I got it. i have started wiring up back of truck. Soldered all connections. My speakers came in today so i will install them next. Woohoo.

[bollybib]

I swept sand and tortilla chips off the seat and floorboards.

[Danny Bost]

Over the last four days I installed my Painless wiring harness.

I did get a couple of things done or at least started last night. Boxed in the frame at the fuel filler point and started to build my adjustable panhard bar. Note on the panhard bar. If you are not TOTALLY confident in your fabricating/welding capabilities do not attempt this. Just imagine cruzing down the highway at 60mph and snap! I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Some will tell you that there is no stress on the panhard bar but it is what keeps everything centered over the rearend. Proceed with caution. I'll try to finish up tonight and post a complete list of pics so you can see how I did this.
Have a good day all.
PS I am just a goober in his garage that likes to mess with old cars/trucks. I have been fabing/welding on something or another for 20+ years. I've made my share of mistakes. I did not attempt to do any structural (frame or other) modifications until I was able to confidently control heat and penetration with my welding. I have never been certified but I have tested many of my welds and also cut cross sections to examine. For me...I trust my work, for me. Cheers.

Waiting for my seat to get done at upholstery shop so I waxed front clip.

[KyFarm]

I am also waiting on my seat to come back from the upholsterer, while waiting I did order a set of 3.73s with eaton posi. These 3.08 gears with 33" tires have to go

[sjarrett71]

Installed a new fuel filter and headlight switch. Fixed all but one of my side marker lights. Removed the tommy lift tailgate. Man was that thing heavy!

[bollybib]

I cleaned some bird poop off of it.

[C10_ustacould]

I started to hang the rear end...

[1quik70]

1quik70, looks like someone was making the distrib fit the firewall.

[mud.man.rj]

What are the rims priced like 1quik70, they look like a nice rim, what width for the 33" tire. Those are very nice tires have had them before 2.

[rsavage]

Took the Blazer on its first post-restoration ride with no problems turning up. Yahoo.

[1quik70]

The wheels were $597 to my door with lug nuts. They only come 9" wide, which was exactly what the tire recommends!

The firewall massage was all the previous owner! Not to brag but my work looks better, LOL. I daily drive this truck, so I didn't have the time to do the firewall while I had the motor out.

Good price on the wheels, I just bought 12" wide Mickey T. classic2's @$600 for a set of 4. and I may just like yours a bit more, nice style, may be a little more for a 12" though, I had to go wide because I bought Pitbull Growlers and they recomend a 12" rim for the 35/14.50/15 tire. It is hard to find a wide rim in something I like that doesn't cost too much. You did good.

[crazy longhorn]

I cranked the old booger up, on last yrs fuel...pulled her out the shop. She didnt sound too bad, but there is a 5.3 on the stand ready to "cross" that old trucks rails crazyL
