mine is sitting. and i'm saving for all the little parts... i should see my k5 around july to put those goodies on - i hope...

70gmcjimmy · 11-21-2008, 09:43 PM

I've been shimming and have the doors dang close on the Jimmy, then I can install my new carpet. To make a long story short I'm working toward it being drivable next spring.

Later---DAC

Working on completing the pass. side by Xmas. I've done all the rust repair for the rocker, floor, kickpanel etc. Bought two truck doors that I'm cutting down and refurbing. Still need to strip paint from the front fender and prime. Then on to the rear quarter to replace the tail light section that's been dented and bondoed by the PO.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-22-2008, 03:16 PM

Yep this weekend its new top seals and finish the rear hatch.

tim21391 · 11-22-2008, 11:48 PM

1tonblaze · 11-23-2008, 10:42 PM

my plans are get one blazer back together and sold and get the big green monster up and running and have some what of a floor put back in it . who knows when that truck will ever see the road

BLUE THUNDER · 11-30-2008, 03:01 PM

Well, so far my winter plans are the same as my summer plans, get it moving. I also plan on making the brackets for the seats, cleaning out the gas tank, installing my lift kit, and driving the hell out of it. First things first, gotta install the transmission. Mario

glimmertwin01 · 12-01-2008, 11:08 PM

my plan is to cut out rot and PO's attempt at fixing rot..at least he didnt patch over rot.... I hate to say it, but i am strongly considering using my decent (but smashed in on the rt rear corner area ) 67 cab as a parts donor.... use the door hinge pillars, kicks and floor lowers.... im not expert but I have to learn somewhere..thank God im an engineer...LOL I hope to be driving it in 09 before the snow flies again.... repair and hang the doors and earl scheib it....

BIGBLU 72 · 12-04-2008, 05:26 PM

I will be re-sealing my top ( i hate leaks) and tracking down electrical problems on the Jimmy and rebuilding the 400 small block in my 68 lwb Chevy.......... all in about two weeks while im home from college

juicer25 · 12-04-2008, 05:32 PM

My blazer better be done by this spring. Paint, inside and out and new vinyl on the stock buckets. I'm considering a lift but I am undecided.

70 Suburban · 12-04-2008, 05:33 PM

HMM WELL ONE OF TWO THINGS. i WILL START MY TEARDOWN AND RESTOR THE BLAZER. OR I WILL START THE BUILD UP OF THE 65 EXTENDED CAB

juicer25 · 12-04-2008, 06:08 PM

I have to get all of this ugly red and white paint off and go back to original orange!

70 Suburban · 12-04-2008, 06:11 PM

Hmm is that a stock roll bar? It fits with the top?

hotrodhomi · 12-07-2008, 02:18 AM

maybe, paint my half top

**bowtie72** · 12-07-2008, 08:11 AM

I want to get fuel injection on my 72 Blazer,and get the stock seats in after repairing the floor board. Then get the roll pan on my 68 swb. Then just driv'em

70k52wd · 12-07-2008, 11:28 AM

Just waiting on a gas tank sending unit so I can put the fuel system back together, prime it, fire it up, then try to find a miss it has, I think it is vac related. Hopefully a new 4/6 drop. Then going to Tenn in July

69TowRig · 12-07-2008, 11:56 PM

I'd like to get some sheet metal repairs done this winter so I can take the top off of it finally next summer. My brother may be hooking me up with a complete F-body 350TPI so it might find one of those under the hood as well.

juicer25 · 12-08-2008, 07:45 PM

Yes, it was a stock roll bar. When I bought the rig I thought it was aftermarket so I got rid of it, but I shouldn't have. So now it has a regular top on it with a back seat.

70 Suburban · 12-08-2008, 11:03 PM

sold the half?
