Re: 1968 C30 Prerunner Build "Papa Smurf"
Well here is the post that I have been waiting for!
            Today we got a new dog as well. Her name is Zoe. She is an American bully, and she loves the shop!....although in this pic she doesn't look thrilled.

Seeing your engine cage just reminding me of what my dad did with his Blazer

Re: 1968 C30 Prerunner Build "Papa Smurf"
Great build. I've been toying with the idea of building an old school prerunner for SL so very interested to see how yours turns out.

Re: 1968 C30 Prerunner Build "Papa Smurf"
Started off the weekend having todo van repair. Somehow a sparkplug backed itself out and finally the compression blew it out friday on my drive home from work. Smashed the coil pack when it blew. Drove it home that way and fixed it saturday.
 Then onto truck. Got my engine cage as far as I can for now until I get shocks mounted. So motor is going to come out probably next weekend so it can head to the machine shop for a freshing up.  Then today i spent alot of time today fixing something that has been bugging me since i did it. This dead node in my back half. Hate using my time to redo work i have already done, but this had to be done. Much happier with it now.

Re: 1968 C30 Prerunner Build "Papa Smurf"
Couple small things Ive been working on this weekend. Spent my Friday night at work making some tabs for part of my radiator/intercooler setup. Only have a few more pieces to machine and I can assemble that.
 Got home from the shop at 1am and decided to stay up and start on my spare tire and bumper section.

That is just one bad truck. I dig the spotlight.

Re: 1968 C30 Prerunner Build "Papa Smurf"
So went into work on my night off and finished the last of my machined parts for my radiator mount. Just need some bushings and tube now and can get it all mounted.
