msgross · 04-26-2009, 10:16 PM

very cool..

who shipped it?

are you keeping the 68 chevy stuff? hood in good shape?

glimmertwin01 · 04-26-2009, 10:28 PM

it was here local actually a local truck junk yard had it he is one of us.... this thing has been sitting on the top of an old cube van for yrs.... fully assembled. I had to snag it esp for 250 it fit right in the back of my 97 GMC the hood is quite surface rusty but I think im gonna donate it to my 70 K5 which may serve as a driveway plow if i cannot get rid of her.... he has another couple nice 59-72 chevy hoods... I already have a 67 and a 68 hood 67 on the K5 the 68 came with the "BEAST"

glimmertwin01 · 04-26-2009, 10:34 PM

I do have to get the K20 up and running before i can get to the K5

**Ron 586** · 04-27-2009, 01:03 AM

Congrats on getting a great blazer.

JimmyFloyd · 04-27-2009, 11:32 AM

I'm counting my pennies...

And which junkyard is this that you found them in? I might be interested in checking it out.

turp mcspray · 04-28-2009, 02:57 PM

Hello,
Would you be interested in getting rid of the p.s. reservoir?
Thanks.

70rs/ss · 04-28-2009, 05:09 PM

Dan that is a remote resevoir (sp?) for a BBC truck so hang onto it!!

glimmertwin01 · 05-01-2009, 06:22 AM

Mike
I dont know how it would plumb in... it was attached to a Lt chevy fender i just got for the blazer.. Im a pack rat..i dont toss anything out!

70rs/ss · 05-04-2009, 05:23 PM

The BBC pump has an inlet tube that runs up to the bottom of the resevoir, I have one on the 454 going into the 2wd Blazer I am building right now, once I get to that point, I'll get some picts of it!

glimmertwin01 · 05-04-2009, 05:27 PM

interesting...sowhy doesnt the 72 have one?
hey I got my other clip and suck cleaned and POR'ed the fender inners inner fenders and core support...they literally look brand new....
Mike Illhave to call you soon...

glimmertwin01 · 05-11-2009, 06:31 AM

heres the same parts a week later all cleaned and POR15ed
good schtuff just messy if u get it on yer skin.... wont help you with the women ...LOL BTW its satin black not gloss

70rs/ss · 05-11-2009, 03:01 PM

Lookin' good!!

BTW the 72 has a 74 BBC in it, that is why the PS is different.

glimmertwin01 · 08-30-2009, 06:48 PM

ok so I got tired of looking at shabby primer and decided to Earl Scheib the blazer to seal her up before winter.... DAed the primer off to a Ochre seal coat... heres what i have... I wanna smooth a couple areas quick with some filler and shoot it with some white equipment enamel from NAPA... I figure i might as well hone the painting skills on this... if it looks good i can enjoy it a couple yrs before i get to the recon...

**Yukon Jack** · 08-31-2009, 10:52 AM

Eager to see your results, I really ought to do something like that with my K5, one color would be kinda nice!

70rs/ss · 08-31-2009, 01:50 PM

Looking good Dan, can't wait for the color!

JimmyFloyd · 08-31-2009, 02:17 PM

Looks good. Got good progress since I saw it. I haven't really even touched mine since then.

Are you planning on replacing the Torsion boxes, building your own, or caging it?

glimmertwin01 · 08-31-2009, 05:23 PM

i have a set of original takeoffs...
I swear I can see where the old ADOT stickers were on the doors note the almost perfect circles on the doors...

glimmertwin01 · 09-02-2009, 09:07 PM

Earl Scheib stopped by today.... and she is now White...
hey it looks ok for my first paint job..... i have a few sags to sand out in a week or so after she hardens... but it looks good IMO
first straightened , n primed next post its white

glimmertwin01 · 09-02-2009, 09:12 PM

ill have to get better ones when its light out.
and NO i didnt paint the front clip on purpose it is goin on the 67/68 K20
the next venture is cleaning up the 72 fenders and hood and putting them on
still its looks 100 times better white than drab grey

70rs/ss · 09-03-2009, 06:09 PM

SWEET, that is how it would've looked when new! White with AZ Game and Fish emblems on the doors! Too cool! Get the 72 clip on it and in white and she'll be a purdy! Hey BTW wanna give it back she matches my 68 (71 w/68 clip) burb!!

glimmertwin01 · 09-28-2009, 06:15 PM

OK havent posted anything in a while..been busy

first are from last week/ weekend when i repaired the fenders

then the truck assembed as it is today ....

glimmertwin01 · 09-28-2009, 06:25 PM

Now that I have the garage back I can work on the Beast... it was rainy yesterday and today but i got the clip switched... its not the best paint job but its one color and sealed up for now.... still have to relpace the Pass rocker and instal the torsion boxes next year
ony thing i have to do is install bumpers... not sure if i will go with a white rear bumper or a black one... i have a "sport" bumper that was painted... its now in POR15.... the front bumper i have is chrome... that is faded so it is either staying chrome or painted

the top on the SPID says white..im kinda leaning toward the black.... with black bumpers.... your thoughts are encouraged and welcome the truck was a white plain jane white top and i assume white bumpers...
Mike do you know anything about it?

glimmertwin01 · 09-28-2009, 06:28 PM

and the rest....nice dreary weather huh? but it hasnt rained here in almost a month
