Should have the shroud finished and painted wensday.. Also glassed the crack's in the heater box... While I had it out I put in a new motorand heater core..Also broke out the spray gun and got some black on it..

aluminum headlight bezels look so much better than the black ones do! good luck on that fan shroud i need one of those!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:18 AM

New headlight bezel's installed..

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:20 AM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:23 AM

Gonna shave the stake pocket's also ,so I shaved the bottom part also still need to make filler plate's for the top..

dinnut · 12-31-2003, 12:26 AM

is this on the 69 or the 72?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:27 AM

And the last thing I did was pull the whole front clip off today... Gonna start on the front end rebuild late wensday... Got aweek to get as much done as I can then it's back to work.... In total I spent about 12 hour's on it today which is more than I have spent on it in the last 3 month's as I was getting burned out... How come when your on vacation it alway's seem's like your still at work??

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:31 AM

The 72 is what I spent all my time on today. it was my h.s. truck ... I had been spending alot of time on the 69 but it's not at my house so it's harder to work on...And my blazer is my dail driver so I can't take too much of it apart....

Mrs72shadetree · 12-31-2003, 01:43 AM

wow it is looking good...I know you must be tired. I told shadetree I was ready to go back out on the road so I could get some rest.

jay-dawg · 12-31-2003, 03:11 AM

boy...you really worked your fingers to the bone on your vacation. now that you have your front clip off, can you tell me whether the front steering link ends point towards or away from the engine? (Where the screw driver points in the pic)

jay-dawg · 12-31-2003, 03:32 AM

here's the pic....note screwdriver...lol

Hooter · 12-31-2003, 03:34 AM

is that 454?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:03 PM

End link's point toward's the front of the truck,I replaced all the inner/outter/adjusting sleeve's about 4 month's ago it was kinda a pain by myself tryin to hold up all the part's get buddy to help ya hold all the stuff...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-31-2003, 12:07 PM

Hooter it's a 1975 454 outta a suburban.. Reciept's in the glove box said the motor had been rebuilt about 8,000 mile's before I bought it for 400. It would smoke the tire's on the sub pretty good so I am just gonna chrome it out and run it..
