Re: Before and after.
Thanks Guys, this will be my last vehicle that I repair. Gittin' too darn old, feet hurt, shoulders hurt, got cataracts. I'm gonna leave it up to you youngins'.
When you hit 60, it's time to thottle back and just cruise.

Re: Before and after.
Hey Rusty, we're going to have to change your name!! The project is coming out sweet, darned if your not going to beat me. Glad to see quality work from the old guys. I can't tell where you patched it... Wish mine looked like that.
Did you once say that you owned that same truck a long time ago??? In case I forgot, the truck looks great. Hope your health stays with you... J.

Re: Before and after.
Wow-xcelent work Rusty!!! You are an inspiration to us all takin on a truck in that condition. Most would call that a parts truck. Cool story too. lookin foreward to seeing more progress.
Forgot(must have sumthin to do with age) to do the quote thing, but Jaros44 said "glad to see quality work from the old guys". Dammit, old guys invented quality work! :-) Later---DAC

Re: Before and after.
Yaouwch, I would not even know where to begin, maybe unscew the radiator cap and drive another Blazer under it? Man, I see why you easterners, hate us western desert guys, I haven't even seen one that bad, but boy did you whip it into shape. That thing is a work of metal working art. I won't complain about the rockers I have to replace on my Blazer.
