Sure, that's near Maple Valley. Some of my very fondest memories were on the Cedar river. It flowed through my dad's back yard 50 ft. from their tiny house. Quiet and beautiful.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
From the looks of that beast I think the blazer could have dug itself out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
We had about 13" so it took some diggin' to get to it . I put the Blazer in 4wheel low and headed out. We got another 4" after this picture was taken.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Swapped my shocks over to the Belltech Street performers from their Drop 2 and installed a radiator cover. Cover is painted now but I want to get it powder coated to match my other covers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
reconditioned these 73 an newer into 72 and older. Pretty easy just took a bit of time. these may be the closest to NOS that I have seen - zero pitting in the center.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
When I worked at the Chevy dealer way back in the day trucks would come in to the shop and those nuts on the caps would be missing ............... we wondered who thought those fake nuts could hold the wheel on .........

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Over the weekend wrapped up the 68's short indoor trailer queen run, lol. Hauled down to Roseburg, Oregon for their indoor car show. They only give out 5 awards (Top 3, Best Bike, and Best Display) and the 68 came home with 1st place, pretty neat homemade trophy that they then were able to snap a picture to put on it prior to the ceremony. Now home and out of the trailer and ready to start racking some miles up again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I pulled one of the valve covers off my 68's powerplant to get the casting numbers off the head (3911032 1968 70cc 327) and despite the outside of the engine looking old and grimy, the inside is just about spotless. So I guess it was rebuilt at some point. Pretty stoked to find it so clean inside.
Based on what I know about the trucks history, I would guess it has somewhere around 10k miles on this engine rebuild which would have been done in the early 90's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I’m putting the engine in my 3/4 ton 72 . I use it to tow so the extra torque was what I was interested in . Putting the 350 which still runs nicely in my 68 Anniversary truck kill two birds with one stone . The 327 I’ll rebuild some time in the future. Since I tow with the 72 I may pull the engine and trans (Th350) in one unit and the same with the 68 . Take the TH400 from the 68 get it rebuilt and put it in the 72 .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got my '68 C/10 Stepside back on the road with a rebuilt propshaft.
OEM single shaft was bent bad in a side collision in 4/22. Over 60 MPH there were excessive vibrations. At freeway speeds the SM465's shifter wanted to pop out of Fourth gear. Anyway, smooth acceleration now.
