Well; it wasn't today but a couple of days ago I got my freshly painted hood and cowl cover back on Otis and all adjusted up... so back to normal again.

No pix, but today, a friend and I attacked my Starter problem on a '71 GMC Jimmy: 350 SBC/SM465/NP205/D44 Front, 12-Bolt rear, 3.73 w/Auburn posi.
[No-Start Gripe.]
We had to pull the Header on the passenger side to get to the Starter. Since I want to paint the Hedders white, anyway, we'll have to pull both. We got the passenger side off. Took the Starter into O'Reilly's for test and check. Flunked the Solenoid test. No surprize since it was installed 4/2008. [Lifetime Checker Auto warranty.] I had used an aftermarket Accel solenoid. That was shot -- the cap was loose, Solenoid is trapped behind the header so it got a lot of vibration and heat cycles in 16 years. I have a NIB bendix-type solenoid on the shelf. Gonna hook that on and go back for another test tomorrow or Tuesday.
Meanwhile to get the drivers side header free, I'll have to disassemble the whole Z-Bar and Clutch Pushrods and Clutch Fork business.
We ran out of daylight today.

The only thing I completed today was achieving excessive levels of frustration, lol. Craftec Tonneau is nigh impossible to get into the groove once any two sections are in. Gave up for the evening. Can't use any screwdrivers or tools because if you slip, cover gasket will be toast. Heat only makes it worse. Heckuva way to close out another wise successful day in regards to rust repair and stake pocket filling.

It was a nice day today, so I took Otis and got the oil changed, then took him to the handwash and got all the barnacles off.

Got a rebuilt Starter from O'Reilly's today. Rolled over to Harbor Freight to get a new creeper. If I like the weather, I could reinstall the Starter tomorrow.

Installed the rechromed/restored T handle and nice original control assembly on the Blazer's liftgate. With all new correct bolts and screws, new strikers, NOS latches, and misc parts the total was around a grand to make it like OEM new.

I got the front end of my K/1500 '71 Jimmy up on jackstands, so I'd have more ''noseroom'' when pulling the underworld from my rig.
Got the replacement Srarter from O'RAP. Pure China Black. Swapped out a shelf goodie, a Mexican bendix-type solenoid for the Asiatic one that came with the device. Better quality.
The USA-made Accel solenoid was burned out after 16 years.
The ''spare'' Hedder gaskets I thought I had were also used. So, tomorrow, I'm picking up a fresh set of Hedman Hedder gaskets from Don's Hotrod Shop, which, sadly, may be folding.

Unfortunately, no.
