**jaros44sr** · 09-18-2009, 02:31 PM

Thanks Ariz., working on the motivation, but this old girl has fought me every step of the way

Seems like she doesn't want to be gussied up

Next project is finding a 1 ton 2 speed rearend

Yeah, I know I have to adjust my headlights

Since I have NOS van lights I have to make up a bracket. You can see why my headlights are out of adjustment

Horn wire is the last of the plug and play for this side...problem is the PO had 6 horns mounted down there. Gotta find out what is stock

Arizonak5 · 09-18-2009, 02:58 PM

Guess you could call this bone stock

One tons aleast on the rear end, someday I may switch over to a Dana 60 on the front...but then I would have to change my name

Can't say that I was there, should've been...wife wants to go to the Marine Corps Ball. My Brother is going to the one at 3rd and I this year

Arizonak5 · 09-18-2009, 05:54 PM

Nice i miss the Marine Corps Ball good times there!, my wife also mentioned on how she would like to go again but i didnt know you could go if you were not still active!

DURRTY · 09-18-2009, 06:06 PM

Tun Tavern no longer exists, having burned down in 1781. Its original location is now occupied by Interstate 95. The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia contains a Tun Tavern-themed restaurant with a lunch menu and alcoholic beverages and bread pudding.

Arizonak5 · 09-18-2009, 06:17 PM

**jaros44sr** · 09-19-2009, 03:04 PM

Thanks bud...just down there now working on that side, I was going to steal the drivers side one

Should fit in a flat rate box, if you live near a Post Office

vtblazer · 09-22-2009, 07:05 AM

vtblazer · 10-19-2009, 06:26 AM

Hey Jim,

Sorry my hip went out again, pretty hard to get around...but alittle progress! Headlights, high/low beams, running lights, turnsignals, side markers, w/s wipers, horn all work. Left the key on acces. first night and sucked the battery down

Wagner Halogen Headlights, really white light, 25 bucks a pop. The new relays really put the power to the lights, keeping it off of the 40 year old switch

Thanks Tynee for the voltage regulator, good people on this board

New relays for the electric fan and the electric water pump

working on the electric fan install...had to modify the alum. rad. mounts again, this time it was because the harness got thicker with the relays on the passenger side...hindsight, mount all the relays on the drivers side

Ended up cutting the mount horizontal, then making two cuts vertical with the cutoff wheel, then tapped the end back to close up the joint

Chevyman63 · 10-20-2009, 06:04 AM

Good job Jim, are we driving the Jimmy to Kurt's?

Don't do it, we use salt on the roads in the winter...lots of salt.

Jim, I've used those relays for the headlights before too, it's an excellent mod for sure.

Nice report, didn't know you were injured, sorry to hear it, thanks for jambing around on the walker to get the pics tough.

Glad to see it put to use. It definitely looks better mounted to your firewall that it did laying in the floor of my shed.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling good. The Jimmy's really starting to look like a truck now...

red71cheyenne · 10-21-2009, 02:41 AM

Looking at that pic of the relays reminds me I want to add side markers to my Blazer. Can you look at your harness and see which wire the side marker lamp taps off of? I don't know tho, its looking a lot like a nearly complete truck to me! Keep up the good work, Thanks, Jeff.

Thanks for the part, just another piece to the puzzle done. Once you drill out all the rivets, you end up with a base and cover. Hope things start to brighten up for you

That only gives me 4 months to finish it and, well...you know how slow I work

Nicely done on your signature, very respectful! Honestly, I don't know how I would handle it after 37 years. Anytime ya want to talk, ya got my numbers

**jaros44sr** · 10-21-2009, 12:14 PM

could be the last time to mount the rad. on the core support...maybe
