What did you get done? 12/12/12 end of the world edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

INSIDIOUS '86 · 12-21-2012, 04:04 AM

I just sold the Diesel engine out of my blazer for $200 that I bought for $200 and that makes it basicly a free blazer!

What did you all get done? Winters coming we are either freezing outside as diehard mechanics or just enjoying the hot chocolate and watching the angry clouds(at least here in wa state)

Finally started back on getting the engine back in my 85. It's a good thing the end of the world hasn't happened yet....I'd hate to see my truck never finished!

Been browsing around for a new drivers bedside, $100 looks to be the going rate at all the yards.
