Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Prepped the front floor pan and the bed pan. After the front floor pan was fitted by the gy doing my metal work, I brought it home, shot it in epoxy primer, then coated the bottom side in Rustoleum Semi-Gloss, reduced with acetone and used an alkyd enamel hardener. It came out glossier than I would have liked. The top of the front floor is Kirker Semi-gloss Synthetic Enamel with a hardener. The rear bed floor is just in epoxy primer.
BTW, I'm tempted to paint the rear bed pan while it is out. I will be replacing both bedsides. Do you think I can paint it now, then mount it and install bedsides without too much damage to the paint? It is hard for me to reach the middle areas to paint... ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the expected body color, TCP Global Jet Black. I shot it the other day while painting my son's bike. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I’ve been doing a lot of tinkering lately with the doors open so wanted bulbs that didn’t get as hot. The light is a lot brighter.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Loaded onto a flat bed for trouble shooting a new ticking sound coming from the original 350, which hasn’t yet clocked 600 miles. Looks like a sheared valve keeper and a chipped valve. Doh!!
What’s likely fix? Pull engine, pull head, replace valve?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Damn! That sucks Pete!
I know I sure seem to have a lot of problems with newly rebuilt motors too. Most of my problems have centered around comp cams roller lifters. Sorry you're going through this! Pat |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Man that sure does suck. Is there a warranty from your builder?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Found a lowered bench seat bracket for my 2wd blazer years ago.Readjusted the pas seat to match. Valve fix=make a sparkplug to air fitting then tdc and 100 lbs.push the spring down replace the retainer (maybe new) and cross your fingers,not to much to loose. I'v done it with a gismo that bolts to the rocker stud.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Dale thanks. Clock ran out on that a while ago. I’ve been talking with the owner of the machine shop though. He’s a genuine guy and every bit the old, old school machinist you can imagine. Were I still in ABQ I’m sure he’d work with me to make it right.
