Re: New member with barn find
Got it inspected Today, now I can drive it around and work out the bugs.
I got the rugs in but I still need to recover the front buckets and finish the rest of the interior. Eventually I'll get the sidewinder winch installed. ![]() ![]() ![]()

It never dawned on me until a few minutes ago while working on the ole tub that mine must have had the spare tire carrier at one time. Irked me enough I had to come search thru your build again until I found your pics showing where the mounts actually are. If you look at my pic you can see spot painting was done after they removed the brackets. Oh well hopefully one day mine will be half as nice as your rig. Richard

Re: New member with barn find
Thanks Richard, I wonder if the upper bracket is still in your quarter panel. You would have to remove the side marker light and see if the rod is there.
I've been taking my blazer to the local cruise nights and made friends with a guy with another green blazer. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Beautiful John. She sure is pretty. Did you go with steel or stainless exhaust? Custom or kit?

Re: New member with barn find
Thanks guys, Hey Dusty I got the blazer exhaust system from summit and made it fit. I was surprised how well the tail pipes fit around the tank and over the axle.

Re: New member with barn find
Update pics, I took the blazer out for it first highway ride and it did very well. It handled very nice at 60-65 and with the converter locked up it was happy at 70.
I'm almost done with the interior and I even got a chance to take my sidewinder winch apart. I just got all the seals and bearing in so it will be going back together soon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: New member with barn find
Got my jerry can mounted and put some more miles on it before the rain and ice.
What do you think, repaint the can red or dark military green ? ![]() ![]() ![]()

My vote military green would fit the bill.
