Decided to go with the dappled look, since I had a old jar of undercoat that went off and left a somewhat chunky solution, seems to have better effect on filling in the pits left by the rust. Now I can look for a grey paint

Sorry for getting my finger in the way

Thinking of mounting some fog lights

Opinions welcome I hate clutter so, give me what's on your mind

Tynee · 10-08-2020, 01:13 PM

I think I'd have to see it on the truck, and I don't think I'd go with Amber if I did it. Strictly personal preference though.

You have spent too much time, effort, and money to screw it up now.
I vote no.

Thank you all for your p/c and unbridled opinions. I'm going to go with the nay, for now, but I may revisit it with KC lights in the near future

Now onto my front driveshaft, it was rebuilt by a local driveshaft shop. Never really gave it much thought as it never really made any noise, but when they did my transmission they left it out, telling me it was bad. Sure enough, when I took it to the shop, I couldn't believe how sloppy it was, not only twisting at the splines but up and down deflection, so that is my report

OSHA said they couldn't paint it, since they didn't have a spray booth

**jaros44sr** · 12-07-2020, 11:21 AM

Thank you GMC and Chevrolet for stamping the same part for a fleet side as a blazer Jimmy

Use the 3 o'clock position on the cutoff wheel, or it will tend to kick back, basically cut forward

**jaros44sr** · 12-07-2020, 01:28 PM

Not too bad of a fit for first attempt , now I can cut out the original rusty piece

Got to do a little more clean up on the wheel flange, used the old pry remove resistance and roll method with pliers

May have gotten a little ahead of myself, should have left the patch panel large. Don't know if I can weld .120 gap

May not be a total waste of time, I maybe able to use some 70/30 lead tin to fill in the gap left after welding

Started working on my vent windows, rebuild kit from brothers. Disassembly went ok except a couple of spinning heads, which I took care of with my dremel and a new cut off wheel

If you are drilling the rivets out and you don't see shavings stop, and use a new drill bit, if you continue with a dull bit you will only work harden the rivet, more probems

Use a good sharp punch, in the center of the rivet, it will keep your drill from walking, and use a cutting fluid to keep the drill bit sharp

**jaros44sr** · 01-07-2021, 12:09 PM

Ordered a new handle with my rebuild kit, used a 3/32 drift pin punch, but you don't have to knock it out all the way, just far enough to get past the groove in the post inthe window

**jaros44sr** · 01-07-2021, 12:13 PM

Ordered a new handle with my rebuild kit, knock the pin back with a 3/32 drift pin punch, it doesn’t need to come all the way out, just past 5he groove inthe post
