Let me go find a tissue......

Right!? lol:

I think 9 grand was a good deal on that one also.

I'll get you some as soon as I can
I'll be taking the motor and transmission back out soon to clean and paint the frame....

Thanks man.

**A1971Blazer** · 12-08-2020, 06:06 PM

Finally received the Vintage Air kit from MCB Matt
I got the low mount LS bracket hoping I could keep the compressor down low...
It fits perfectly...with room to spare...!
clean compact accessory drive system...this has been a trouble free swap...so far...

Hey that could be my bed at the moment. Mine is green and standing on end too while I removed all the bad metal. The spot weld cutter is worth it's weight.

67C10Step · 12-09-2020, 04:49 PM

Ha! Seems stepside beds are in vouge right now!

Tongue and groove with copious amounts of carriage bolts were in mine as well. I ground the heads off most of mine and drove them out. Makes the cross sills look like swiss cheese.

**A1971Blazer** · 05-17-2021, 05:20 PM

I ended up buying some new bed pieces after I discovered a lot of rust through
I have the bed on a quick built dolly so I can start getting it assembled and squared up..ordered the wood today

I welded the stake pocket back on that was out of place...looks like it's gonna end up a fairly good fit....

Very nice keep them coming

67C10Step · 05-17-2021, 09:22 PM

Very nice! Where did you get your bed kit? I got mine from Mar K back in March and have just now got the bed front, tailgate and rear cross sill ready for epoxy primer. Too many other things been distracting me.

All parts are from AMD (TriPlus)... I had an issue with the driver side bedside, the stake pocket was out of position....I cut it off and welded it back on in the correct location...everything else fits fairly well...the original fenders need a little body work but I think it's gonna turn out nice..
I ordered the oak wood floor yesterday...gonna do a trial fit....then start getting it ready for paint.
I saw the Mar-K stuff AFTER I bought the AMD....how's the fit on it?

Not to rub it in or anything, but when I mocked mine all together it went together pretty easily with no issues. A little tweaking to get the bed square and boards lined up but nothing unusual.

Great build so far, thanks for all the info and pics, sorry to see the rot in the cab.

**A1971Blazer** · 10-30-2021, 03:09 PM

Cut out enough rotten sheet metal to check the new roof panel...
Really happy with the fit so far....lines up nice to the new front header piece.

WOW, I don't have the skill to attempt a job like that, good luck to you man. and good on you for saving that cab.

**68 C10 Driver** · 11-08-2021, 08:24 AM

And I thought I was doing some complex body work on my truck...I do not envy you having to go through all this. You are definitely an inspiration, I will certainly follow this thread.
