Ahhh yes....Spring time is here! What are your project plans?

[jakeslim]

It's been a long rainy winter and i am ready to begin working on the trucks again. My plans:

69 blazer:
- New shock -fronts done 4/01/06
- New Springs
-Change diff fluids
- Clean under truck and POR 15 frame/bed(under)

77 blazer
- fix leaking rear axle..14bolt leaks a bit at one wheel.
- begin body work to prep for Paint (end of Summer)
- Convert to Electric fuel pump....tired of pumping gas in mornings to start! I have electric in my 69 and it's amazing
- MAYBE change out from my Qjet to an edelbrock....depends if the qjet can deal with the electric fuel pump pressure at start up....sometimes they overflow

many other things to come!

[69TowRig]

Good luck with that.

Whenever I find a garage with a house in my new home here in NC I will get to working on the Blazer again. For now she sits at my folks house waiting for that day.

2006 Plans for the K5:

- Convert to power steering
- Replace windshield frame and windshield
- Floorpans, inner and outer rockers
- Rebuild trans and t-case
- Slip in a 290Hp GM crate engine

That should take all year to get done.

[ClassicJimmy]

Starting today! My Jimmy is getting all my attention this year. The list is long, but will be worth it in the end.

- Floorpans, inner and outer rockers
- Rear floorbed repair
- New pass door & both door innerds
- Frame off, sandblasted & coated w/many new parts
- Engine rebuilt to 383 stroker w/MPFI
- NV4700/NP205 swap
- Body repaired as needed & preped for new paint

I think that should keep me busy this summer. I just hope I can squeeze work in so I can pay for it all! Good luck to all you guys on your projects & make sure you post pics of your work, I know I will.

Going to restore the rolling frame. Patch the floors, and prime it. Would love to find a 69-70 parts truck, but it aint going to happen around here. None to be had.

I plan to get my K5 running this year - still debating the engine. I bought the K5 from a guy who said it hadn't ran in I think 4 years, I'm pretty sure that was closer to 7 years. I finally got it fired up and it puked tons of oil - I'm pretty sure the rear main seal is trashed. I think I should pull the engine and get it rebuilt - the other option is to just replace the rear main seal and see if the engine is any good. Just not sure moneywise what to do.

I've got a 3/4 ton front axle to go in it. This gets me disk brakes up front. I have a 14bolt ff to go out back. I have a Detroit locker to slip in it before I install the axle.

Needs some time and $$$!

My Blazer is finally going to get the attention I've been meaning to give it for 5 years. I'm going to do a tub swap, repair the door bottoms, new fenders, TG, core support and hood. Also going to put in a 700R4 and swap the rubber onto the aluminum slots.

I plan on completing this by memorial weekend so I can enjoy it this summer too!

Look for posts/pics in the future on the progress.......
