We're all looking forward to more pictures, especially when it's all on Leon's property.
Doesn't look like too much is missing.....but engine looks like it might have water in it...

Looks like everything is there. I got it home late this afternoon but didn't have time to mess with it. I will know about the engine in the next few days. It is supposed to rain and snow over the weekend

Yep, I looked at it back in 2019 but the guy that owned it then wanted too much for it.

He later sold it to the guy I just bought it from.

I now have the engine running and it sounds pretty good. The radiator had a leak in it so I had to fix that. Don't flame me for the back country core support brace...

The under dash wire loom was a mess so I pulled it all out. Notice the two fuses with aluminum foil wrapped around them...

.. I also removed the A/C components and wiring.

The cluster had a couple of non-stock gauges in it so I disassembled it and removed them. I think I have another complete cluster I can use for it so I may just use this one for parts.

In for this. You are reinstalling the A/C right? If not - let me know. Florida is hot!

57taskforce · 04-09-2024, 02:39 PM

Interesting that it’s an ac truck without a clutch fan. Never seen that before. Probably a Po’s shenanigans.

54blackhornet · 04-09-2024, 03:55 PM

Man you got it torn down quick ?

I do have a complete Vintage air setup I could put in it but We will have to see where this is going first.

There are a lot of things changed on this truck so all bets are off on that....

Replacement under dash wire loom and complete stock cluster are now in. Both items in good shape that I had on hand. I also dug out a pretty decent engine compartment main power/headlight loom that I am going to use. I think I can save the starter/ignition loom. I will pull it out this morning and check it out. If not I have one I can use. I also replaced the dash pad with a maroon one I had. It has a couple of small cracks on it but it is in a lot better shape than the black one that was on it. Next I am going to check out the brakes and start bolting the sheet metal pieces back on it.

Keep in mind that this is not a rebuild or restore project but a get it running and driving safely project because I am probably going to have to sell it since I just purchased my Uncles all original '69 1/2 ton pickup.

I really haven't been dragging my feet on this but I have had a lot of other irons in the fire the last couple of months. I am finally back on it and making pretty good progress on it. New front calipers, pads, and master cylinder are installed. The rotors cleaned up good and are in good shape. Starting to bolt the sheet metal back on it. I had to fix a pretty bad crease in the top of the drivers fender. It had been fixed before and was really thin in spots. I finally got it squared away and it looks pretty good. I hope to bolt the hood and front bumper back on it in the morning.

As I mentioned before, this is not a re-build, this is get it driveable and safe project. Someone else can do the re-build on it..... I drove it around the yard a couple of days ago and it actually runs pretty good.

**68bowtie** · 06-02-2024, 01:02 AM

Mean machine. Looking good!

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-02-2024, 09:54 AM

**1970cstblazer** · 06-02-2024, 10:57 AM

I really need a K20 in my life at some point. Need to finish the '70 Blazer and get the C50-C60 dump truck I've always wanted first. LOL

**jerry moss** · 06-02-2024, 12:28 PM

i wish you could send some of your energy out my way, every time i walk out to my 69 suburban i get overwhelmed and walk away. mine needs a solid weekend of work and would be drivable but i just can't bring myself to jump on it

you are making quick work on yours

54blackhornet · 06-02-2024, 02:13 PM

All you have to do is one little thing every evening. It doesn't have to be anything major, just keep pecking away at it. Before you know it it will be done.

Almost everything I know was learned from the members of this board. Some of it was trial and error but we won't talk about that....

I added the hood and front bumper this afternoon. On a stock height truck I can get the hood on by myself but with the 4" lift this truck has I had to call in some help. I still have some adjustments to make.

Man that looks cool. If you sell it, I'd be very tempted if I was a bit local-er. Looks like some of that white over-paint might come off with a pressure washer, and maybe the rest of it with some elbow grease.

I sold this truck Saturday. It went to a local guy I know and he builds some nice stuff.

**BIG ORANGE** · 07-04-2024, 06:52 PM

Great score brother,
