Re: What are your new years "Truck" resolutions?

I hope to get the old rusty bed disposed of, get the cab stripped and rockers/corners repaired get the frame painted and get the new front suspension completed.

Re: What are your new years "Truck" resolutions?

My resolutions still stands, to get RoverII in the shop for summer, so i can get started on it. I figure we can get the frame work started and finished in the spring and the engine dropped onto the frame. So summer time we can get started for body work. only reason we cant do it now(in the winter) is because the garage dosnt have heat, i would like to work on the truck in -20 degrees but i dont think my fingers would lol.

Welcome to the board!
That is one thing I donīt like to hear is how somebody wants to get rid of thier truck.
If in any way possible, keep it.
I wish you the best of luck whatever happens.

Thanks for the kind words. I figure the truck has had a much better last few years than it would have in the field where I rescued it. I was able to get the truck and the (what I believe to be) original 327 engine. Although the engine is in need of a machine shop I had hopes that they would be reunited. I have been working on two other trucks (not GM so we will not mention them) and that has taken my time and wallet.
Restoral in Germany are tough, I did a '76 Camaro over there when I was in Landstuhl. Good luck on your endevors.

I need to quit doing burnouts. Damn tires are expensive.

My goal is to get the mechanicals finished up, body reassembled and get it on the road.

Re: What are your new years "Truck" resolutions?

Well....on the K-20.....I plan to get the engine running properly, the interior at least 50% complete to my taste, the pick up bed pulled, rear half of frame treated with POR-15 the wood replaced and the bed sheet metal por-15'd as well. All Cab mounts replaced and the transmission & transfer case cleaned and any leaky gaskets replaced.

The Blazer...... body work, body work, body work.

The D-2 Dozer.....split the tracks, re-torque the head, rebuild both front idlers, replace RH adjuster spring

The Harley...tires & pipes.

Frank

There are only a few things in life as satisfying and theraputic as a good burnout. Don't stop burnin' em' up. Hey, it cost less than therapy ($150 hour).

Re: What are your new years "Truck" resolutions?

figure out what the heck is wrong with my 72 and get her running and tuned real good. next is spend some time with my 60. she's been quite neglected since i got the 72. she's crying out for attention so badly that both her front tires are going flat. and hopefully after i get back from my upcoming deployment get another cab to replace the piece o' isht cab that its got right now, new gas tank, which is going to run me $130+ from the local csk, and maybe re-replace the bed with one that's supposed to be there, but i'm gonna have to do some cutting to it unless i decide to replace the frame with a swb frame cause its sitting on a mid 70's 2wd blazer frame
