They're stainless bolts. Here is the link to Amazon where I bought them. I put them on front and rear diff covers.

Great build. I saw you got extended emergency brake cables. I plan on going the same route, except I have a 6" all spring lift. Do you think the 3" extended cables would work with that or do you think I should go a little longer? I've tried searching and all I found was people just moving the bracket to the bottom rail which I dont want to do. Thanks.

I don't think the 3" cables would be long enough for your 6" lift. But, I'd be scared to guess how much longer you'd need them.

Very nice build. I picked up a few things reading through it. Looking forward to more progress.

IGOR · 04-12-2016, 03:13 PM

What color is that on your transmission? Is that also POR-15?

East Tex · 04-12-2016, 09:57 PM

It's actually one of a very few things that I've painted with a rattle can. But it looks great. Here is a pic of the label. The color is Cast Iron.

I'm running into the same problem with the rear brake hose. The brake line attaches to the hose with 7/16" fittings correct and the 3/8" fittings go to the brake drum? What did you tell inline in order to get the larger diameter tee fitting for the hose. I tried to explain when I order from inline but got a tee that fits the 3/8" fittings. Thanks for the help.

East Tex · 05-05-2016, 03:37 PM

The only thing that I told them was that I wanted a brake hose for a 1972 K5, that was 4" longer than stock (because of my lift kit). And it was the correct one when it came in.

Anymore fresh painted parts laying in the grass? Lol

Haha no. As a matter of fact, I've been so busy at work, that I haven't touched the Blazer in months. I hope to slow down some this summer and get back at it.

East Tex · 01-06-2019, 10:34 PM

Been a while since I posted. I got the fuel lines buttoned up. I test fit the high mount A/C brackets, and afterwards painted with POR15 and reinstalled.

East Tex · 01-06-2019, 10:42 PM

Of course I had help from one of my Grands!

East Tex · 01-06-2019, 11:00 PM

I thought that I'd take the front shaft to the local drive shaft shop and have them rebuild the cardan joint, and while they were at it, I thought that I'd have them replace all the u joints in both shafts to save me the trouble. Well, I explained to them if they'd clean them up real good and put a nice paint job on them, I'd let them do it all and not just the cardan joint. I made it clear that these were going on a very nice restoration. Well, I couldn't believe my eyes, they didn't even take off all the grease/dirt before balancing or painting. I should have done it myself, because I had to re do their crap work.

aggie91 · 01-07-2019, 06:17 PM

Very Nice work on the exhaust! I might should come check it out in person some day...

East Tex · 01-11-2019, 11:48 AM

Come on by. I guess that I need to clean my shop up, before anyone sees my mess
