You will love my next project the haha

This weeks updates are: I got that axle that wouldn't work anyway...but for free. How? I traded of coarse with an engine I got for free! Lol traded a 87 350 engine carb to pan for a front suspension that was rebuilt for my blazer and that rear axle for the stepside.

I then went down to my friends house and grabbed my free ( you guys getting the theme here? ) k5 blazer that is currently 4wd to be converted later back to my place...had a few issues on the way there. Coming home a light changed rather quick and it slid off the dolly luckily the chains caught it before it ran us and tow pig over '92 1500 stepside.. Lifted it up and set it on a toolbox with the jack in the truck and then set the e brake on the k5 and put tow pig in 4 low...yanked the dolly underneath and set her back. After we wrapped the axles not the tires with the wheel straps and chained it good and set off again. The gas in tow pig and the $50 for the tow dolly was all I had this week so getting her home was the only choice no matter the cost. So today...was exhausting and fun.
