I just thought I'd try again I see so many of our trucks in Cruces. Let's get enough to do a board meet. See yall -JASON

Ttt

When? Where?

I don't know low@slow. I found another blazer like mine in an aoartment complex the other day as soon as I run into those folks I'm gonna try to co-opt them and grab us another board member. But for sure I've gotta travel some over the next month or too But me should all meet up at a burger joint one day. I bet '65stepside will run over this way too. I'll start shooting this thread out to some folks if you know some folks hit them up too. See you -Jason

I live in Albuquerque, and won’t be able to drive until I get the truck back together again.
The pulley alignment problems are bugging me real bad at the moment.
s/t

I'm up for it. Might have to take the tonka toy but I'll definitely try to be there.

TTT lets get some planning going.

It's the same for me James crush is down till I get the back end rebuilt. I've got a nice parts blazer I gotta swap some parts on. So maybe next spring I can bring my K5 out. Until then i guess it's the truck - lets plan it.

I'm in Santa Fe... I'm in..

What's going on everybody? After like four month I'm finally back not working 12 hour days or traveling hopefully I can get crush running before the really good weather get's here. -Jason

Thanks man. I'm a newbie to the classic Chevy truck scene, and I would love to hook up with some fellow enthusiasts. I'm sure I will need some help making my dream a reality. I will try and hit those guys up.

Thanks,

Count me in- Im from Dexter bout 16 miles from Roswell and bout 3 hrs from cruces. I got some family their. Its cool to hear from other new mexicans. My truck aint road ready till another 2 months. Hows everybody loving the rain covering the whole state? Im loving it.:ito:

Helllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:lol:

Hola....

I guess its just u and me chava. Representing the land of enchantment. Ya'll been getting some good rain up their the last few days? we have and it feels great.:metal:

It's been raining pretty good up here. Seems to rain every weekend... can't make plans! Oh well..we sure could use it.

Ive been curious bout the green you've been painting ur 70? truck. R u gonna do the whole truck?

I am eventually going to paint the '73 green and white in the original 2-tone scheme...using that same sour apple green. I want to put all the trim back on it too. For now, since cash is low, I'm going to paint it a satin white and do the top in that green. I'm also going to have my buddy pinstripe it.

Satin white? huh i dont think ive seen that. Kool cant wait to see it painted. I think they did boat pullers truck in a green apple with a white stripe in the middle as a photoshop awhile back. It looked kool. I wanna keep posting in the new mexico area to see who else is still around. I think i finally got a 350 for the 86, I'll know in bout a week. I found a 350 with tbi out of a 88 suburban. I'd like to put that in the 4x4 and the motor thats in the 4x4 into the 86 which is new, it only has like 500 miles on it. Keep us( or me in the new mexico area) on the truck. good luck with it:ito:

Right on! Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Hope everything goes well...

I know there are alot more members here in NM...they must not know about this section.

Another Albuquerque member checking in. Hello everyone!

Right on! Welcome. Keep them coming... Come on, NM!

Another Albuquerque member checking in. Hello everyone!

Bummer...Thanks anyways. I'd appreciate any info. if anyone finds one. Thanks

No pic necessary. It is a complete rear solid axle from a 1971 or 1972 c10. But it has to be an axle that was set up for coil springs in the rear and not leaf springs. The width is about 58 inches from backing plate to backing plate. And they are 5 lug. A posi would be great too.

ohhhh thanks, but no got

I'm still here and still truckless. Cj5convert is still around too just busy. Anybody know where a decent running 60-72 is?

I'm here in SF, 1971 C-20 custom camper, longhorn original.

Hey hey the man who started it all. Hows it going and what u been workin on lately?

Don't think me too much shes gonna need a litte work. But well get her too you! :)

It doesn't need remotely as much work as the 65 did. :lol:

Hey hey the man who started it all. Hows it going and what u been workin on lately?

Working on? Ha all i've been doing is working. But i'm gonna get it together and get back on track! :metal: How have you been doing!

Good. The shoebox is moving along very slow though. The money aint their to do what i want or to even get it running or even get it a decent drivetrain.

Ha I know the feeling. But the misses has been pushing me to get back out there and get her going so hopefully I'll get something going soon.

I find myself in the same situation. the Mrs. cant wants me to get it home and get to workin on it. I'm not going to complain even though i'm not sure where the money is going to come from to get the parts necessary to get it running again. Guess i should worry about finding the time to actually get the truck first.

Man, I guess my truck aint the only one coming around sloooooooow.

Hey James... time to change your sig... A caravan and a toyota???? What's up with that... replace those with the '72... :lol:

waiting on cj5 to get back from his business trip so i can get the darn thing. van is the wifey's so its stayin. The yoto is on DD duty till the blazer is up and running at least. Wish it was here already.

Just found this thread. I have a 60 short narrow and a 59 short fleetside. I'm from a little north of Santa Fe (Nambe)

Hey frmula! How are the trucks coming along?

My 60 kicked my corvette out of the new stall I'm getting ity ready for paint. Have all major bodywork done. replaces the floors and rockers. Just waiting on the cab corners. had small holes that became large holes once I started welding. Just need to get the 50 years of dings taken care of. The 59 nothing in the last 9 months. Everything grinded to a halt this Monday with the hail storm we had in Los Alamos. My DD got hammered. It's an 03 ford ZX2. I'll let the pictures explain.

Took out my back window, so far 26 dents hood, 61 roof 33 trunk.
I plan on painting it this weekend (small car lol). Candy Root Beer, some good has to come out of it. I already ordered the paint, as well as the Hot Rod Flats paint for my 60 (flat copper pearl)

:jdp: welcome formula505. Bro That hail tore it up. Ours was the size of peas and only lasted bout 5 min.

Hey fellas. I know I already asked this once, but any chance anyone knows where to find a 71-72 rear axle with coil spring setup? They are 5 lug and measure about 59 in. from backing plate to backing plate. Also, Im looking for a 68-72 short wheel base coil spring frame. If you have one or both or know someone who does, please let me know. Thanks

James I'm back either next weekend or the weekend after that. Well figure it out. -J

So had anyone had any progress on their rides? Ive been working on smoothing out the fire wall on the 86 and It's takin awhile. Will post pics when done.

Progress on the '65 just took a few steps back. The rebuilt 350 took a crap. Had a gasket leak or an undectected crack somewhere. Got water in the oil which caused it to spin a bearing or throw a rod. Whatever it is, sounds horrible. Luckily, we still have the 283. It's going back in in a couple weeks... Check out the build thread in my sig...

JC

Que paso New Mexico? It's been very quiet here.....

Tell me bout it bro. Somos los unicos.

Been patiently waiting for CJ5 to get back from his vacation. Trying to figure something out so I can get the Blazer over here and begin tearing into it.

Man Im gettin sick and tired of puttin my 86 on hold.

I'm still here, no progress this weekend. I'm waiting on my brother to get a break to paint my DD. He's been swamped with hail work. I did get the new bumpers, and stainless tail lamps I ordered for the 60. If the weather holds up i will work on it this week.

Hopefully it cools down soon. It's been dam hot and humid lately! It's hard to work with sweat in your eyes... :)

I wanna be down....... How do I get in? Where do I sign? Just signed up onto the board. Currently workin on a 64;65;66 did the crossmember thing workin out the rest. No pics yet sorry fellas

Hey Mike,

You stated on your other post that you have roots in Pecos. I'm originally from Henderson, Nevada, but my family comes from around Las Vegas, NM. I've been here (Albuquerque then Santa Fe) for over 6 years now. I play in a band (Camino Oscuro) based out of Pecos. 3 of the 4 members (everyone except me) are from Pecos. Do you still have family there?

Im far cousins with the guys from the band BANDALERO'.my family owns a block near the Rainbow that spans across the river! The Roybals are my family but everyone knows Ronnie my godfather
