Hadn't driven mine since yesterday, so i drove it up to the beer store, you know just to keep it limbered up and used to hauling something.

jjtackleberry · 06-04-2011, 07:39 PM

Drove it to the Midwest meet.....

Great guys.....Great trucks.....

**Boog** · 06-04-2011, 08:56 PM

What is it that Cap Fab booster bracket is supposed to do?

dmack91 · 06-05-2011, 01:04 AM

New front shocks. Monroe Gas from ebay for $28 shipped. Old ones were nicely preserved in grease though.

67c10rustbuket · 06-05-2011, 11:23 PM

looked at it and scratched my head alot... put the rear dr side wheel back on. alot of work to do.....

ItsRandy · 06-06-2011, 12:31 AM

Started DA-ing my cab. It doesn't take long once you start sanding to see just how messed up your stuff is. These trucks really were built as trucks, go figure.

Changed out my old turn signal switch. One of the wires caught in the wheel and shorted the switch out. Took it out and fixed the short. Back in and on the road again. My and my two boys(7&9) went for a short cruise to the parts store to get a new flasher relay. Went to a small auto show today and checked out some nice rides. My wife and kids wanted to go so we all went. Nice to have something the family enjoys.

Got the block back from the machine shop, painted it, bolted on the oil pump, heads, and then realized the new cam I ordered was broken in half. Sending it back for a replacement next week =) Here is what was done so far....

**70cst** · 06-12-2011, 09:46 AM

At this stage I am just thinking about it...but soon--very soon that will change

profe56 · 06-12-2011, 04:26 PM

I broke the driver side Hood Hinge when I was closing it, and at this moment I'm cheking on LMC cataloge to buy a new pair.
Do you think I also have to buy the springs or can I use the old one's?

I'd just drill that rivet out and put a pin or bolt in it. Good luck however you go. Jim

**70cst** · 06-13-2011, 12:01 AM

I bought a pair of hood hinges for my '69 from LMC, bent the passenger side the first time I closed the hood.

At least it wasn't to sell the blazer.

Bennett68C10 · 06-13-2011, 01:14 PM

Thanks, they are Spintech Super Pro Streets. 2.5" inlet/Outlet. Supposed to be their most aggressive street muffler. I got them from Maryland Speed for $150.00 for the pair. The POR Exhaust paint really turned out well, really love the way it looks.

Trailrider95 · 06-13-2011, 08:05 PM

That looks REAL good Bennett, good job with that!

hotsauc333 · 06-13-2011, 08:46 PM
