thanks Mike
I cant wait to get the cab on the chassis.... here is the motor...Just ordered the Engine mounts from NAPA today will have them a new clutch kit and seals and gaskets by the weekend.... then the motor becomes chevy red compliments of POR 15

glimmertwin01 · 05-27-2009, 05:09 PM

figured that out tanks to other board members thanks GUYS! nice to have all the pieces... now comes the fun...assembling it all... and finding an exhaust..the book at napa had alot of N/As on the diagram

glimmertwin01 · 05-27-2009, 05:13 PM

dont tell me the woes of life in the desert southwest and how you toss out cabs cause of minor rust...ship em up here!!!! LOL
still thinking im gonna grab that 70 2WD blazer chassis and swap the 70 K/5 tub to it.... already have a nice K/5 might as well make a "C/5" and trick it out with a LT1/ 4L60E and 3.23 gears for LONG legs

70rs/ss · 05-27-2009, 05:15 PM

Any half decent exhaust shop should be able to bend up a system, be sure to pony up the extra $$$ for stainless pipe if you can then the rust gremlins will stay away for a while longer?! How's the K5 look with the 72 nose job?? I was thinking of you when I bought a cherry 68 clip with original paint on it still, I said man I wish I had the clip from the Blazer (both as the 2wd I sold has a cherry clip from a GMC as well)!!

glimmertwin01 · 05-27-2009, 05:29 PM

you kill me man! I gotta strip those puppies (68 fenders) and re smooth them and make a small rot repair on the PS wheel house under the battery.... should be pickin up the torsion boxes next week when i head east for work NICE! then its TOP off summer cruisin even if it is in primer still

70rs/ss · 05-27-2009, 06:28 PM

I am jelous though I have no more Blazers to go topless in!! I sat in the 2wd when I swapped tops (no motor or trans, so I was sitin' in the driveway makin' motors sounds with my mouth!!) it was too cool to have nothing obstruct your view except the vent windows and windshield frame?? Maybe I'll make the burb topless?, NAH!

BTW I offered that 67 cab to someone on the board for free, but the trip was going to be too spendy for him to get it?? I tried?!

glimmertwin01 · 05-27-2009, 06:46 PM

Zoom zoom! or maybe I should be making raspberry noises ///LOL
did you get any slobber on the windsheld?

glimmertwin01 · 06-01-2009, 07:29 AM

OK call me simple..but im going to go look at a 68 C30 flat bed this week... 250 I6 4 speed... the price it right Ive been scoping this unit out for a year suddenly its for sale... .. Ill let yall know

glimmertwin01 · 06-14-2009, 06:27 PM

some setbacks and trolling junk yards to find the right stuff for the PS setup..its almost complete! turns out i had the needed double pulleys for the alt and pump in my collection of crap.... but i needed a different bracket....
I can get it to work...anyhow here are some pics of a clean painted 292 and the mock-up of the PS setup...
also scored another 68 grille the missing DS headlight bezel and a decent 72 grille off the same truck that donated the un molested wiring harness...
and of course the last pic is of some of my Fleet..loading pics as I enjoy some Joe Walsh . "There Goes the Neighborhood"

glimmertwin01 · 06-14-2009, 06:37 PM

hey Mike
how did you do the remove n replace of the pilot bearing???? I remember seeing it ..just cant find it
thanks

70rs/ss · 06-17-2009, 01:54 PM

I fill the hole with greese and push the alingment tool or something very close in diameter in there and the greese forces it out, or you could do it the easy way and get a puller, but I like to make a mess!

BTW that Blazer looks like one I've seen here in AZ before?!

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:32 PM

got some work dont finally did some plug welding and
stripped the cab
before ..... gotta love chemical strippers what a buzz from methylene chloride

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:37 PM

and now the back n roof stripped where i need to do dent filling

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:39 PM

cool mike u musta posted when i was doing my second post....LOL illlook it over thanks

msgross · 07-06-2009, 09:36 PM

Here was my technique... just found a bolt the right size and it pulled it right out with ease...

I have heard of the grease trick as well..

70rs/ss · 07-07-2009, 12:35 PM

Yeah that aircraft stripper will make light work of paint! I did an Elco a few years back and used that stuff to strip to the bare metal, the WHOLE thing, yeah the laquer based paints didn't fare well in the AZ sun and heat it was cracked and looked like a road map!!

Looking good man keep up the work!

glimmertwin01 · 07-14-2009, 07:59 PM

have not done much this past week..but i have an excuse....

Excuse!>>>> my little one couldnt cut the mustard any more

msgross · 07-15-2009, 06:22 PM

nice.. what did that run? I need to upgrade too..

glimmertwin01 · 07-15-2009, 06:28 PM

it runs everything but my IR D/A..it needs 15CFM this thing puts out 13..oh well... everything else runs great..... the DA does work better than it did... but still compared to 6.5 CFM ill take it

msgross · 07-15-2009, 07:59 PM

where did you buy it? how much $?

glimmertwin01 · 07-16-2009, 06:03 AM

$275 from a fella on Craigslist...he was moving..he had it in his basement.. the thingis like new and sooo quiet so we had to get a fridge dolly and bring it up the stairs and in to my K2500
saved 400 off new

msgross · 07-16-2009, 07:24 AM

good deal for sure then...

Sinisterspeed · 07-16-2009, 11:09 PM

Dan, All I can say is OMG!

It makes me gringe just looking at that cab. I cant believe you fixed that! Makes feel pretty stupid about the dime sized rust hole I found in this 67 cab I have (that I was disapointed about)

...... I wonder what the shipping on a whole Rust free (except for that dime hole) 67 Small window cab would be.. LOL

Just kidding. Man you deffinatly have more balls then me to take that on!

Great work, Keep it up!!

glimmertwin01 · 07-17-2009, 06:12 AM

hahahaha and I hear you ***** about tiny rust areas... well this one wasnt rust as much as beat up.. I guess us guys up here are geographically challenged for old sctuff... and you wondered why i was marveling at all that nice crispy clean western stuff??
thanks for the props and the parts man....

glimmertwin01 · 07-18-2009, 08:58 PM

got all the putty outta the crevaces and got some of that lovely Pea soup colored Etch primer on the beast...next up bondo
