I'm on her good side, just built her a laundry area, the units used to be on two differant floors, plus the new Malibu, plus the new toilet(that in it self is a long and interesting story), plus the new job, and the list goes on. I should be good for 10 years of misbehavin'

I could always blame it on Kurt, since he couldn't see the brackets on the concrete

Looks like it came more our way!!! We haven't hit 35 yet

Honored to carry the badge of your first blazer, can't wait for them to get here so I can straiten' out the front bumper

Sorry it took so long to get back to you's guys, but 1 ol' man and a snow shovel against 18" of snow takes awhile, just finished 2 cars and 1 to go by Monday afternoon

Thanks again Kurt, one more small step towards completion...LMK on shipping charge

Re: PO has me PO'd

Does that say "S-K" on the side? I've snapped or otherwise tiwsted off SEVERAL of those 1/2" x 3/8" extensions of various brands, but never a Snap-On. It's kind of my personal challenge in life to someday find a way to grenade a Snap-On product with my bare hands. I'm beginning to think that particular ambition will go un-fulfilled.

For me it's just fun being in my work shop, building something with my own two hands, then sitting back and looking at it. Best thing I ever built was my workshop, decades of pleasure

Re: PO has me PO'd

Jim, I had to replace an alternator and the pully was wrong on the new one and the correct one was rusted tight to the old alternator. The guys at the local Checker/O'Reilly sprayed some new (to me) stuff on it that froze the metal. Pretty soon it was off using hand tools.

I don't remember the name, but the can was white and light blue. It made a believer out of me. I bought a can on the spot.

I'd run out and look at it, but its at home and I've been working in Detroit the last 6 weeks.

Good luck getting it out.

Doug

How much longer are you up in Detroit?
Thanks for the heads up Doug, will have to try that with a combination of better tools

I've used bearing stretchers, but never used cold, makes sense, just opposite principle

Gotta go back and change my 'Snapon' comment, before Tynee yells at me again

Re: PO has me PO'd

One set of front bumper brackets that vtblazer posted are for 2WD and the blue ones are for 4WD. I don't know if anyone noticed that. The 2WD brackets will not work on a 4WD truck. WES

Wes, thanks for dropping by, I'm appreciative of your input! BTW, great advise on those '67 side molding trim clips, Mar-K did a fabulous job of repop. Didn't realize the inside fender screws were with the kit, then as I dug further into the bag, there they were, correct shape of the head and all. Perfect way to mount up my NOS trim. I'm glad we have guys like you on our side of the restoration. Also the idea of drop shipping from the manufactor to me, saved a couple of bucks and time. Thanks again

Yes I did notice the differance, but keeping that information at the forefront is important to us all. If Coyote had read my threads he would have realized I have an extra set now, but he is buying a set for 45 from 6T727T2.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Had some time to kill at work today and reviewed your whole thread - what did you use in these pix to coat the A pillar and rocker - brushed on Rustoleom?

I want to smooth my rocker into my A and B pillar so I will be using a skim coat of filler to clean up the ends a bit...or is there a better product to use [metal lab]?

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=315

I have my door off now - and wanted to paint it - but it isn't warm enough for me to do it now...soooo I guess I will have to yank the door and fender in the spring to get it painted the right way - I hate lining up the doors and fenders...

Yes, at the time I had a lot of bare metal, and just wanted a way of keeping the surface rust down. Rustoleom seemed to be a cheap fix and when it comes time, I'll get Big J to sand it off, lots of experiance
There is a light weight filler to blend that seam in, but now that it is done, I'm thinking I like it better with out the filler. I do have Lab Metal but didn't use it for that purpose
Wow, seems funny to go back in time and see that pic

Correct, quite a difference between the two, thanks for the clarification.

Jim should be receiving the blue set any day now..., the 4x4 set.

Forgive my ignorance, but I've never seen a factory cruise set-up before. Is that what I'm looking at?

Sorry Tynee, should have been more descriptive. Yes, that is a cruise, for as close to what would've been supplied by the dealer in '72. But, I still have to get a master switch, to complete the package. Missed one by 1 hour on our parts board. I've grown lazy in my old age, can't imagine driving any considerable distance with out one of these

Here is the throttle bracket after a 12 hour soak in Eastwoods rust resolver. Even did a nice job on the threads of the bolts, left everything a nice light grey patina

Re: PO has me PO'd

Had to find out if a 4speed bowl would fit from a nontilt column...it doesn't, but I did find a broken wire and a split race, so it wasn't a total waste of a 'President's Day Off'

Back to my original plan to shave and fill the shifter nub

PLEASE, no one tell me you don't have to take apart the turn signal switch to disassemble a tilt column
