Yeah the bumper is pretty cool, i'll probably end up building something like it for the GMC.

Also, see that little hole in the floor? That was where the shifter for the PTO winch came through but it wouldn't fit with the BB headers, and I didn't want to modify the headers so the winch came off. Now I have a winch for the GMC and I will make it fit with the headers one way or another in the GMC. I always wanted one for it anyway.

I had go down to the creek and give my stepdad a jump on the backhoe so I made a little video with my phone. Sorry about how crappy it is, I need a Iphone!

You did a great job on your blazer man!

1985-GMC · 06-17-2011, 10:11 PM

Thanks! Really I didn't do much to it and it still "looks" pretty much the same as when I bought it, I just did everything to it so it would be streetable.

TheWhiteElephant · 06-19-2011, 12:46 AM

Thanks Mando! I know I know, Im gonna work on it asap when I have free time (in the daylight). I think If I had sun shine 24/7 I would get done a lot faster or I guess a big A/C shop with lights would be nice too.

I hear you, man. I've been working on mine in 100 degree weather on the uncovered driveway. Not fun, but I'm willing to torture myself to get this thing running. I get tired of seeing it on the same spot week after week.

thinair · 08-12-2011, 12:27 AM

^^^^^Just like Mando said.....killing myself in the heat..........AND get to workin on that K20!!!!

Doug_J · 10-07-2011, 10:43 PM

anything new?

1985-GMC · 10-07-2011, 10:55 PM

No not really. I did get all the A/C stuff I need to start converting the firewall over from non A/C. I think I'll start on that early next week then get some more sanding and priming done an see if I cant get a little color on the cab some time soon...

1985-GMC · 04-08-2012, 11:55 PM

I also has found some cracks where the door hinges mount so I fixed those. The backing plate that the nuts are attached to were cracking away from the spot welds so this should stop that.

1985-GMC · 04-08-2012, 11:59 PM

Oh and I sold the Blazer and bought this:

dieselmec1993 · 04-22-2012, 11:08 PM
