Mike (fine69) dropped the trucks off tonight, ahead of schedule. Great guy to do business with. Highly recommend his services if you're in need. Now, I just need my tools and parts to show up (not to mention all of our furniture...)

Thanks all! Good to be back. All of the house stuff is here and we are OVER moving. Tools and garage stuff is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Maybe I'll find some time soon to install these PB parts I have sitting in boxes

Oh, that final update belongs in the other truck thread

smbrouss70 · 07-05-2016, 10:39 PM

Wait! What?

Chulisohombre · 07-06-2016, 12:02 AM

Always good to Be back Home. Enjoy. It feels like forever waiting on your household goods to arrive. At least you got your trucks back.

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 03:01 PM

One of these things (in the work parking lot) is not like the others...

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 03:34 PM

Oh, and I recently installed my ironcanine jacking instructions decal. High quality!

Chulisohombre · 08-11-2016, 04:29 PM

Awesome. My blazer definitely stands out in a parking lot as well. Does help it sits on a 5 inch lift and 35 inch tires though. Lol

I seen your post on Iron's decal thread also. Curious is that spare still 31" or did you change to 33". Wondering how much space there is to the bedside while it is mounted in the holder?

gringoloco · 08-11-2016, 11:46 PM

I'm on 31s. Id say there's a good 3-4" there. A 33 should fit, though it will make hard to use the rear view mirror

gringoloco · 08-12-2016, 09:31 PM

I think they were ready...

gringoloco · 09-18-2016, 12:07 PM

Man, these things come apart easy. Check out my new drivers seat, almost correct factory parchment

gringoloco · 09-18-2016, 12:09 PM

In case anyone was wondering, yes, a Blazer will fit in the back of a C10...

Chulisohombre · 09-18-2016, 11:15 PM

Nice new bucket seat you got there. Haha

This is a kind of fun

I see what you did there! It almost matches the door panels

gringoloco · 09-19-2016, 02:12 PM

Morning progress:

Cut out some offensive rot in the pass fender. First time welding in a while, but it turned out in the end. Patch was ok at best, shape was a distant approximation of a fender, but I beat/cut it into submission. Primed and back on the pile...

**lks dcvn** · 09-19-2016, 03:13 PM

Looks good!

smbrouss70 · 09-18-2016, 01:08 PM

Nice! Soooooo.... What's happening here?

Haha, black is a pretty cool color, but it will hopefully end up blue like everything else.

Made some progress, if you can call disassembly progression. Inner rocker is very solid, as is the floor. I will have to decide which of those 'good' pieces of metal I want to cut out to repair the floor support and kick panel. There is little more gratifying than hearing the 'pop' of a spot weld giving up its grip...

gringoloco · 09-18-2016, 11:17 PM

Shoddy previous repairs caused this area to be worse than it should have been. Yes, that's a lap weld and 1/4" thick plastic filler. Lesson of the day: do it right the first time, or do it again later. A pillar will need patched, B pillar is thankfully solid (it's the stuff behind it I'll need to work on).
