Re: 1972 Jimmy + 5.3/4L60E/NP205

alright alright... little bit of an update.

First - my original frame had been in a wreck, hacked up, and a new front end welded back on very poorly.. Both frame rails had been cut just under the firewall. The "donor" front end they found was from a 71 truck. The truck had always driven straight, but this just looked like an accident waiting to happen. So I got a SWEET deal on another 72 frame from board member larryd. I pulled the old frame out and the new frame got blasted and powder coated.











I won't be running AC so I pulled all this off and got a AC delete cover that I will be using in it's place.










Then the frame removal....


























Then the new frame got back from the coater. Turned out awesome. I purchased new 2.5 lift springs front and rear from Skyjacker at this time as well. Got everything loosely bolted up and she at least rolls right now.

Also installed a 87 blazer tank (31 gallon) and the sending unit to match. I'm going to run a walbro 255 in tank in place of the factory 87 pump since it is not high pressure.
