Man, I just stumbled onto this thread, and Now I want a sportside truck like that. And I thought I had finally cured myself from bringing stuff home when I finally found a 70 2wd Blazer (been looking for one for about 15 years)

Your truck is killer! but I'm sure its going to be a lot more fun with that BBC in there.

phantom dually · 11-20-2005, 11:04 AM

Thanks for the comments. I actually am heading out to the garage today to start pulling the drivetrain out. Should be fun!!

phantom dually · 11-23-2005, 12:19 AM

Got a start on the engine. Anyone know how to get to the top bolt on the serpentine bracket? I think I have to remove the pump to get there. The pulley has to come off to do this??

NLang · 11-23-2005, 01:50 AM

Ah yes, PITA...If I recall correctly, you first have to remove the ps pump pulley in order to remove the bracket from the head. I've done it a few times on my '94.

Just reviewing all of the posts on this thread. Very nice work!
Well done.

phantom dually · 11-25-2005, 03:54 PM

Its gettin there Thanks!!

phantom dually · 11-27-2005, 12:04 AM

Update!! Got the old engine out and the 2 seperated. Tore into the engine compartment and am trying sort out the wiring. CUT out alot of wires that I wont need.

I plan to fill some of the extra holes in the firewall that I wont need such as winsheild wiper motor, Cruise, AC, heat etc etc. I may keep the heater core so I can atleast have a defrost. I must have cut 10 pounds of wiring out. Im going to rebuild the 350 and put it into my C2500 Daily driver.

Hey man long time no talky!! Hows life?? I think I will hold on to the 496. the 350 is going into my other truck. I will however have a nice low mile 305 if you need one.

Tracy Focht · 12-01-2005, 11:10 AM

phantom dually · 12-11-2005, 09:51 PM

Found a dash and steering column from a 97 truck. Also got a set of power leather seats from a 95 truck. They will need recovered so I plan on doing some Katzkins on them. I still need some door panels and a few odds and ends.

smbrouss70 · 12-11-2005, 10:35 PM

Every time I look at this thread, the only word that comes to mind is SEXY! I feel like a junkie waiting on my fix (meaning more progress). Don't feel bad though my progress is ALOT slower than yours.

phantom dually · 12-11-2005, 10:54 PM

Yeah I try not to think of the $$ I have put into this already!!

67chevemall · 12-21-2005, 10:52 AM

You are you sick insane man! I love it! WOW

The wheels were a great choice!
And that garage, man ....

Man your coming along great. I had a 83 truck that I took down to the frame. Things didnt go as smooth as I had hoped with a few suspension parts. 2 Yrs in I decided I had enough. I sold off every part little by little. I bought the 92 and got to work. I learned alot on the first attempt. I decided I would set a reasonable plan and bust ass to get my goals done for the summer. I made those goals, now all I need is some $$ and a new set of goals!!

phantom dually · 01-02-2006, 12:44 AM

Worked on the truck a little tonight. Got the dash out so I could get all the A/C and heat parts out. I am going to clean up the firewall so these must go. I also got my master cylinder mocked into place for the TKO tranny.

phantom dually · 01-02-2006, 12:48 AM

I worked on the engine some also getting the heads bolted up and the timing chain cover. Also set the oil pump as well.
